Does anybody know of any good online freight shipment discounters, for domestic small (pallet sized) shipping? Looking to possibly have an item that is larger than standard shipping, for a package that  
measures about 80" x 24" x 16" and weighing 100 pounds, shipped from the Toronto area to Brandon. I am wondering if anybody has come across any online LTL discounters that offer economical "Less-Than-Load (LTL)" options. Don't necessarily want the standard UPS or Fedex response, as I find their rates to be extremely high and uncompetitive, and am mostly just wondering if anybody has come across any any competitive LTL companies or websites, that offer discounted rates that seek to pool shipments, for more economical consumer freight rates. If anybody has any experience with this, your input would be appreciated. I have come across and used www.netparcel.com before, but they aren't giving me any LTL options this time around. Thanks.

Manitoulin has the infrastructure for it. Have used it in the past but not sure what price range you are after

Just reached out to them for a quote. Very happy with the response. I will see where things go from here.  
Thanks.

I just had occasion to get a smaller shipment delivered and, with the help of the seller, got a much better price from Manitoulin (other option was Canada Post at 3 times the price).

I got a quote for $125 for your shipment using a generic Toronto postal code.  
 
Watch out for Manitoulin extra fuel and various fees I've seen the extras add up to more then the quote.

fees can add up, the fuel surcharge you can not get around.  
But by having your item delivered to the truck dock, (which Brandon has) and you pick it up there is cheaper than having it delivered to a business or a residence or farm.
