Any Ontario flatbed carriers that run their moffitts to the US?
Loading in the Toronto area.
Delivery locations: Boston MA, Providence RI and Brooklyn NY
 
I'm thinking something like this should be a true dedicated run - shipper pays both ways and guarantees volume. Much too specialized and polarizing to play on the general market.
Would agree with this.

But guaranteed a broker will try their hand at this.

Mind you, a good 1 way rate, would be worth the risk sending a moffatt down there. If we owned any.
 
To quote this properly, in my humble opinion, would be to seriously investigate the options for using a regular flat bed for the line haul and then use local cartage companies, equipped with proper off loading capabilities. As others have stated, running specialized equipment such as Moffat’s, can create big problems getting backhauls. Good luck.
 
my 0.02 that no one asked for- I'd approach US based moffatt guys in those delivery areas. Might have better success with guys coming here and heading back empty that might take a crack at it and it most likely would be cost effective quote too albeit that CAD TO USD conversion is a killer. But in any case open deck moffatt's get eye watering rateso_O so i'd prepare for that.
