As recent as a couple months ago, LS had van freight coming out of Laredo going into London. There's a LS guy on CDLofit that had a regular run AND a back haul out of London IIRC.

Well, I ended up deadheading to Houston, TX (350 mi) and taking a good paying load to Winnipeg, MB, Canada, 500 miles North-West of St.Paul, MN. Getting to Ontario, Canada might be easier form here.

When I was at Landstar, I did notice a lot of loads going from the Chicago area to Ontario. Most were automotive freight but paid well. I didn't do them because I did not have my passport........ something to check out.
Figure if you can run 1 load to chicago then 1 back, then once again, you will have a 4 day work week, be home 3days and prob make a good deal. Not sure if you have payments or not tho.

I am glad to hear that you found a load, Tracer. Most of the time, if I take a load to Laredo or somewhere near Brownsville, I don't hang around very long. I have previously done better coming out of Laredo, but if I don't find something in a day or two at the most I deadhead out. Usually, I will head up to Houston. I figure that is is cheaper to put 50 gallons of fuel in the truck than lose all that revenue sitting. Hopefully, you can find something to get you home out of Minnesota or MB.

I did get out of Laredo This was first trip, remember? I should have just taken one of those prime loads to Alberta but I was waiting for something going north-east, and then it was ... the weekend. That's why I spent so much time there. I called one of the agents who was active with Houston loads and he got me a load out of Houstion to Manitoba, Canada. I deadheaded to Houston, TX and picked up this 40,000 lb load going north into Manitoba, just 10 miles on that side of the US border. Paid pretty good. I then deadheaded back into USA, and shut down at the Petro in Fargo, ND. Will start looking for a load to Ontario or Quebec on Monday (tomorrow). Already sent a few emails to agents around this area.

I actually saw an ATS truck delivering some containers to the same location in Manitoba. It's where they are building all those wind power generators.

That's what I'll do next time if I ever get back to Laredo. Landstar board now shows some loads in LA, and that's an easy deadhead out of Houston. Laredo is a dead end, unless you want to head out into Alberta tundra

Not much action on your twitter. What is LS policy on starting your blog again? BTW...did you notice the accent from the people in Fargo?
