One of the best places to find heavy machinery and farm equipment is at auction sites, and there are many great auction houses across Western Canada. The prevalence of accessible websites and easy-to-use online auction systems makes it possible to participate in auction events no matter your location. As long as you can arrange payment and shipping, you can attend an auction anywhere in North America.
Some auction companies have in-house transport services, but with limitations on the geographical distance they will ship and their scheduling, and some won’t transport across the Canada-US border. If you need to send a heavy haul from an auction to a location in North America, Trusted Dispatch is your trusted shipping company.

Auction Opportunities
In the digital age, the options for participating in auctions have radically changed. Many companies will host on-site live auctions, online sales, and time-limited events. These opportunities make it possible to take part in auctions anywhere in North America. The main consideration is shipping. Trusted Dispatch makes the shipping portion easy so you can focus on finding the right piece of equipment, no matter where it’s located. That being said, the closer to home you find your equipment, the easier it is to get it shipped in a relatively quick time frame.
