United Airfreight quote from their web site for 2-day service.  Assume
4/pallet @ 150 pounds each:

600 pounds, ABQ to DEN (Denver, CO) $147
600 pounds, ABQ to SJC (San Jose, CA) $185
600 pounds, ABQ to PWM (Portland, Maine) $204
600 pounds, ABQ to SEA (Seattle, WA) $185

Now all we need is somebody to pick up the pallets and schlep them to
the airport.
