    Is this ur own wagon ?? Or a custom wagon ? Why on earth other then that would you want to do that ? 53's are a dime a dozen in the US .... and most are in decent shape. Anyway, best bet is per above. Livingstons (who has their own car haul division) is pretty good (obviously) with cross border wheels paperwork.

    Why would you WANT to.

    I paid about $13K for a 2003 with 9000 hours on the reefer.

    All of the cheap reefers I looked at looked more like mobile storage unit material than road worthy equipment.
