    How hard is it to grab a reefer load from Portland area going to the great lakes region? Generally speaking.
    I'm just the driver. But I've been waiting in Portland since monday, to deliver until an hour ago. Why has my carrier not been able to do anything yet to get me outbound?

    Disorganization, I used to work for ch dredge just before they went broke and had a lot of equipment repossessed and strangely enough, emptied in Portland and had to wait for a couple days for a load.

    If it's reefer, you are going to either take nursery off the pacific coast in Oregon (Pretty much within a mile or two of the ocean down really small back roads...) or Yakima WA going east or California/Arizona going east. Or Potatoes in Idaho going east above Salt Lake.
