    Im sitting in a Flying J in Boise. We were told we had a load out of here(we devlivered diapers from Chicago). Im just wondering if it is a dead zone for outbound frieght, like people say Florida is.

    Shouldn't be a dead freight place... they have all of the potato factories, plus some large grocery chain placed, and Ore-Ida.... you should be able to get out there in a reasonable time frame. Of course.... with all this danged snow hitting us here in the West.... who knows?! Good luck!

    Reefer, shouldn't be difficult. That big Greek Yogurt plant just built a huge west coast plant in the Idaho valley somewhere.

    I never have a problem getting reefer loads out of the Boise area. There are a lot of produce loads (onions, potatoes, etc) shipping from that area.
