Default Cross border trucking

I’m looking at getting a small piece of equipment from Oklahoma to Edmonton. Roughly 125lb. Can anyone suggest a freight company with reasonable rates?

Thanks

Trans-x is the first that comes to mind that may do LTL work. If not, they may be able to suggest someone who can.

YRC, they run regular schedules out of Texas and Oklahoma to Edmonton. You can pick it up at their warehouse here in Edmonton. You can call them and get a quote.

Old Dominion Freight.. they are one of the largest I believe and partnered up with Manitoulin here in Canada.
I ordered a large 4x8 fibreglass swim platform out of Phoenix and they brought it up to Acheson, swapped it out to Manitoulin and it came right to my work.
300$ bucks I believe was the shipping charge although I also payed a broker, Bay city brokers another 250$ to clear the border ahead of time.

Where in Oklahoma?
I have trucks coming from Muskogee every couple of weeks.
If you can get it to: Acme Engineering & Manufacturing Corporation
1820 North York ST, Muskogee, OK 74403 I could probably get it to Edmonton for free.

Not sure how sensitive it is, it would have to ride on a tarped flatdeck.

Otherwise XPO seems to be the cheapeset for non trucklaod stuff.
