Moffitt loads to the USA

[supersean55]

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.

Such nice areas they are going into as well Rounders or no way I would consider as going to be hard to get a load home with a Moffatt hanging off the back taking up a bunch of the gross weight.

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 rates so i'd prepare for that.

Cant say they will but my first call would be Gabe at Mr. flatbed

Maybe Congil in London ON.

Being told by a credible source that is much more cost and paperwork effective to rent a lift truck at delivery locations, than send a Moffitt all the way down south..

Thanks for the help everyone, none of the Ontario carriers with Moffitts will send them to the US
