well, i am in the shipping business, but dont live in Winnipeg.
Canadian Freightways might give you a good rate, but honestly as an individual shipper, you wont get much attention.
You will need to be able to tell them how much it weighs and what the length, width and height are. I also suggest you dont simply ship it loose, you should have a small crate built for it, or you are likely to land up with shipping stickers on the piece. The warehouse and driving crews of these companies arent always the sharpest crayon in the pack.
At the end of the day, you might find the 1 day drive to Winnipeg less of a headache than trying to be an ad hoc shipper with a trucking company.
good luck!
