I've pulled alot of that Buttwiper beer out of Fort Collins, Williamsburg, and St. Louis. I never had a load above 44,500. sounds like a broker trying to kiss some shipping clerks ### or something to me.

Red, hope you don't mind deadheading. I see a lotta empty parking lots rolling between the auction houses around here. Nothing like bouncing from southern Indiana to Chicago, Nashville, or St. Louis for free.

Good ole Wal-Mart... keast the only thing good about them is you know how muchthe charge for lumpers... 50 for 1 box or a trailer load....but they are never timely.

Also the only place you can spend an entire day and not get any detention from them.


Of course that could have been just another bad deal from that POS Kansas company I was driving for.

Medicine Man, don't know if your company has it but the last two companies I was leased to had an agreement with Wal-Mart. 4 hours to unload from the time you checked in at Guard Shack. After 4 hours detention was paid. Wal-Mart was really good at unloading in 3hrs 50 minutes. HA!
