Three Headers and Spare Parts - Using Every Available Void
In 2025 Meridian Freight nested the 30-ft Case IH 2020 inside the John Deere 930F and built an upper support deck for the John Deere 630F, with boxed spare parts placed in unusable voids; the equipment weighed approximately 10 metric tons. The dealer purchased the cargo, and Meridian's responsibility ended with the loaded-container handoff in Chicago.

The shipment
Meridian nested the 30-ft Case IH 2020 inside the John Deere 930F and built an upper support deck for the John Deere 630F. Boxed spare parts were placed in otherwise unusable voids around the main structures. The equipment weighed approximately 10 metric tons. The dealer purchased the cargo, and Meridian's responsibility ended with the loaded-container handoff in Chicago. The dealer completed the international transportation and reported delivery without damage. Because the commercial benefit came from several linked factors - shared pickup, nesting, deck construction and use of residual space - the project record does not assign a single dollar value to the saving.
