Tobacco - NC

[misto27]

Good day!

Have 6 skids to move from Wilson, NC to Drummondville, QC - cannot think of anyone who can move this after the few I reached out, which they can't.

Any names someone have in mind?

Thanks in advance

Have a great day!

Bourassa comes to mind?

First one I called - they don't do Tobacco - at least that's what I been told...

Tobacco as LTL can be tricky because if any other freight is textile or food related nobody will mix it because of the odor. I remember having problems with trailer rejections due to this in the past.

 

[misto27]

Totally agree and normally, I wouldn't even lose time with it.

We all ( or almost ) have bosses right?

Try Steve Hibbert at SM Freight .... if anyone knows who will haul tobacco, it will be Steve.

 

[misto27]

Thanks Micheal, I will!!

Or Stafford as he hauls it all the time also. Heck the Tobacco in Wilson probably came out of Delhi Ontario last year.

Textile and food don't go well with carbon black either... learned that from bitter experience.

That's true ... only difference is that it's not smell with carbon black, it's that you never get rid of it. Destroys trailers ... it's even a forbidden commodity on intermodal.
