How big and heavy is a drivetrain? You could call a trucking company and get it within maybe 5-7 days. It all depends on how much your willing to spend. Also, try Fedex Freight. The best way to ship it would probably be strapped on to a pallet.
I work in a warehouse and deal with shipments and deliveries all day.

I honestly don't know what it might cost. The best bet for you or the other guy would be to check the yellow pages for trucking/freight companies, and call around for some quotes. California to Wisconsin could take 4-8 days, and cost $100-$200, depending on size and weight. You need to call around to get specifics. I would reccomend some trucking companies, but we don't do much business out west, so I really don't know. Good luck.

Also, as I found out while having a hood sent over from Florida, it's going to be a lot less expensive if you're having it delivered in the metro area of a big city (Madison? Milwaukee?, maybe) to a business address. It doesn't matter what type of business. My hood was $125 delivered to a shop in Denver, but to my house an hour north in Fort Collins would have cost over $200. Something to consider...

That is true. It can be considerably cheaper and faster to have stuff delivered to businesses, especially if they're in a commercial/industrial area. When I order stuff, I always have it delivered to where I work.
