Does anyone know anyone in montana or idaho close to the border?

I need to find someone that is close to the border to be able to accept a delivery of a large part, and hold on to it till I can get down there to pick it up... freight up to here is crazy.

Or is anyone going down south in the next month and could pick up about a 1000# part,, Ill help with the fuel etc

thanks

Kevin

I seem to get the best out of country deals from Day & Ross, Manitoulin, and Trans-x, in province I get the best deals from Canadian Frieghtways and Hiway 9.

I know Marine lives in Montana, and comes up here frequently. Try contacting him. I have his phone number if you want to call him.

Might not be any help to you, but if you find someone headed down this way you're welcome to ship it here if it's cheaper. I've got a tractor to unload it and a shop to store it in. If you covered fuel, I could probably haul it a ways north too, don't know if I'd have time to take it all the way to the border though...

They will hold it for almost nothing.

I MIGHT be heading to Montana sometime in the next month if you'd need. If you find it is more feasable that way. I'm sure I could bring it back no problem if I am.
