The best way is to looking for truck shipping company rather than go to usps. Yes you can go ship them together and you might get discount prices as you ship more than one vehicle into a same destination.



The process of truck transport begins by using a method known as “decking”, which is when the trucks are mounted to the carrier truck by the use of saddles and booms, which are mounted to the chassis of the auto transport carrier truck in order to secure all trucks being transported. Other measures taken in the process include connecting an air hose from the tow truck to the trucks being hauled so that all axles running along the ground have breaking capabilities. Also, a light bar and harness are mounted to the back of the last vehicle being towed to provide clearly visible break lights and turn signals. Another measure taken when shipping trucks is the removals of the axle shaft from all axles running along the ground to allow for freewheel.



I am not sure about the prices, just give it try to search for auto transport company and you can ask them directly or get quoted on their website, it should be give you a better estimation of shipping cost. Link below may help you

I recommend freight truck, con-way, saia. Eastern freight. I work in a shipping and recieving, we use ups to ship smaller stuff which could be all the way up to 100lbs on ups, everything else would go on a freight truck, 300lbs up to 15000lbs of diesel parts and accessories, call around your city, look it up online, fed ex and ups also has a freight service but we always got it cheaper else where with large stuff.

The price really does vary, we got a pallet in and the freight charge was 150, we got 2 pallets and the freight was 450 an those two were no heavier than 400lbs.
