    Default Shipping Module; dependent on amount of shipping weight

    I am having a problem setting up shipping for the main 48 states in the US. I currently use UPS to ship most items, but after 150 pounds, you have to use UPS Freight. I found a third party shipping company, that ships for about half the price of UPS Freight.

    But I'm not sure if one of the standard shipping modules will work or if I need one of the add-ons?

    Could someone tell me:

    1) What shipping module I need to use so that I can use this second shipping company?
    I tried the table rates module that comes with the cart, but it did not change when weight was over 150 pounds.

    2) How do I go about setting it up, so that any order over 150 pounds will automatically changes to this shipping module?



    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks for replying.

    I am not sure which shipping module I should use. But the shipping company is call Saia Trucking @ www.saia.com

    Any suggestions, on which shipping module to use and how to set it up so that it takes over after 150 pound.

    Thanks for the help!

    I don't know if that is what I am looking for.

    I did find this post: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149716

    I was wondering if this code could be use in one of the pre-installed zen cart shipping modules, or would I have to use the suggested add-on from the post to get it to work?

    thanks for the help!
