I remember seeing a show where small time truckers or guys with trailers would bid on delivery jobs. Is there like an Uber of trucking?

I've used FedEx Freight in the past but I'm looking to ship a laser cutting machine from TX to MI. And I've BEEN to truck depots. Those guys are BRUTAL loading and unloading trucks. I'd like the machine to actually work when it arrives and i know that wouldnt be the case if I used some big company that'd pass my load through 15 depots along the way. And at 60 I don't have enough days left to burn off 4 of them driving back and forth to TX
