Might be loads picking up Tuesday and Wed that run over the holiday weekend?

Last year my wife and I wanted to go to her Aunt's house in Houston and I snagged a Tuesday pick in Indy delivering Friday in Laredo. Paid for that trip nicely. There might be some stuff going then.

I am going to be home. If I don't go home the wife will have me shot and quartered.

chefdennis · Nov 17, 2010

Chances are I'll be home, but it really depends on where i am at on the 24rd...

Maybe those of us out on the road and between loads or passing thru with a load and some extra time...we can meet in a central location and have an EO Thanksgiving dinner together?

Sounds like a plan guess will have to wait see where everyone is on Wed and which way everyone is headed?

Diane and I generally remain in service and available to haul freight over the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. That is our intent this year.

If you can make it happen, you will definitely find it to be worth the effort. See this about how expediters came together on Thanksgiving in 2007.
