As a Canadian shipper, I do find it difficult to find carriers heading back into ON, AB, MB and SK at times. Really hoping BulkLoads focuses on growing in the Canadian market. Most of my leads are for carriers that don't cross the border.

Good luck with that in a hopper......gonna take a week worth of bouncing to the 4 corners of the US to get to Muleshoe TX. Then another week of bouncing to get back to Alberta. Only thing on the board right now going to Alberta is from Redfield SD, and that's if they're shipping DDG out of that plant this week.....easiest option would be a power only of oil field equipment to Texas IF there's anything available

Just looked......Lethbridge to ********* Kenosha WI to *******, Houston to ******* Dallas to ******, Hereford to ******(Meat and Bone Meal)...Ope nevermind Lethbridge to **** is no longer on the board, now we're back to square one.... TX won't let you gross over 80k so if you have a pusher on your truck and a big wagon, some places will let you go to 85,500 but they're few and far between you'll only be able to get +/- 24 ton on.....no idea what the rates are are on any of that....probably not even worth the hassle

Mike, We run up to Canada often, but since we do not load out of Canada our rates are round trip to get back to the states. I've quoted numerous loads going to Canada, but it seems everyone wants a 'backhaul" rate for tankers. I basicly stopped quoting anythng to Canada unless they are a customer already and they are aware that we charge round trip.
