Been sitting since Wednesday noon in NC, no loads back to Canada, just figured out Monday is a holiday here. Are shippers all closed for Presidents day?
My option is dead head back to Nova Scotia.
Holiday Monday are most shippers closed?

Banks and Government offices will be closed. Most everything else will be open.
CAXPT and Elroythekid Thank this. -
Thanks, trying to decide to bounce or stay. I can go back and get a good paying steel load coming right back down tuesday. Long dead head tho, but I'm getting stir crazy sitting here eating my face off.
CAXPT Thanks this. -
Elroythekid Thanks this.

I didn’t think this was much of a holiday either other than governmental but after talking to my broker for a couple hours this afternoon about loading Monday seems like half of the north east is closed on Monday so I’m not sure about down where you are
CAXPT and Elroythekid Thank this. -
Thanks folks, I'm leaning towards bouncing. Hard decision. Been here since Wednesday.
I dont book my loads or have access to the load boards. They say there was nothing moving this week, they found one load, tarped to montreal for $2200 gross that went to the truck that was in front of me. Company truck.
Then a $2200 gross to toronto, that ended up needed 53ft trailer, for 50ft pics, I have a 48, before I could find out if I could over hang 2ft of it, she said it was gone. I didnt really want it, it was 3 hrs in the wrong direction, ( I'm in Mebane, ) and then to toronto, I get 74%.
Last 3 loads down here were like that, I dont think I'll come down again. I'd rather do moulding in the roll tite for less money, and be consistantly busy than sitting like this.
It's just getting my head around bouncing home AGAIN mty. 3rd time In 6 months. Or....Wait til monday or tuesday, and get another $2200 special, and make crap.
Sorry for the rambling but I'm, for some reason, having a hard time making this decision. I hate bleeding cash.CAXPT and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
CAXPT Thanks this.

Is there somewhere on the way home your company’s got better freight like further up north just to mitigate some of the cost
CAXPT Thanks this. -
