Holiday Monday are most shippers closed?

President's Day

 

I just checked DAT and there isn’t anything but a partial for $0.59 a mile from Baltimore lol. Sorry man.

 

Is it not a holiday in NS as well? Its Family Day here in the west and most places are shut down.

 

Yeah, just trying to help. I know, I was hauling loads from there up toward MIchigan, that stopped in like Ohio (good place to get better loads), IN..etc, that would at least get you further up to a better market and closer to Canada.

 

Not sure, as I've always been a company driver, but I often had to remind my dispatch (who encouraged me to find loads, most of the time) of places I had been with other companies or just places I was aware of. I know there's one in Michigan that if I delivered to, I could have picked a load outbound right from there. It was up to dispatch, but at least once or twice I got them to let take one of the outbound loads because they didn't have anything closer. This of course, was because we already had "approval" because of the company, but I can't see any reason why his dispatch couldn't have hooked him up down there if they were "reputable".

Getting your own carrier pack would be a little harder I imagine, but once in...you've got an 'option' if down that way. I wasn't sure what his particulars were, but as @Elroythekid has stated, he has a dispatch, so I'd be chewing them a new butthole for not hooking me up and letting me sit. They may not like the rates, but if you want to move, at least it's an option.

 

Geez........I hope you weren't talking about Menards! Cheapest freight known to mankind...........
