Does anyone know? Reefer or dry van freight? Truckloads or LTL? Anyone finding it hard to come back home these days?
 
you bet. we have a truck in VA and haven't been able to find a load back to Quebec. We had a truck on the west coast last week and had to do 1000 miles to load up with a load that hardly even paid the expenses... Can't wait for the construction holiday to be over in Quebec. It's getting more and more difficult to find outbound also because all of the shops are closed. OH wait, I'll be on vacation next week :cool: I'll be going where no cell phone can find me HE HE;)
 
but that should be to our advantage. One US dollar can buy $1.25 worth of merchandise...
Yes to our advantage on the outbound loads but nn the flip side as far as reloads back to Canada, Canadians are getting walloped as $1.00 CDN is only .77 USD so it seems we just aren't buying from the US right now.

3 options;
-buy local
-buy overseas
-wait it out

so any of those three means not much freight for trucks...
