    4 hours.
    A couple of Alieve.
    A couple Sodas.
    But it was only 24 mile DH to my next great adventure.
    Lamb Meat & Bone meal.
    $1000/Flat for 178 loaded mile back to Kansas.

    If this work out, I can get a reload 90 miles from there back within 20 miles of the house.
    It’ll pay $30/ton.

    I arrived here at 1100.
    Guy said “Lunch Break!!”
    I just nodded and walked back to the truck slowly with my head hung low.

    Always happens, and usually I sit there and think, I should have stopped for lunch! After lunch, the forklift runs out of propane. Never fails.

    After Lunch the lady said, “You got a scale ticket?”

    Me “I just unloaded 24 miles away, here is their ticket.”

    “No, Gotta have a CAT Scale.”

    me “That'd been freaking great to have known, but I will not drive another 30 miles to weigh then 30 miles to reweigh.”

    “You can weigh at MFA up the street 3.5 miles.”

    during this adventure, I get a call, unload that tonight, they waiting on you, don’t worry about 1000 tomorrow appt.

    “You want a load to South MS next?”

    “um what about my return to the house load?”

    It fell through...

    MFA scale is also a private scale, oh and guess what, the weight difference is 40 pounds.

    Now everyone must be in hiding, walking around looking for someone now.

    I haven't been paying attention to the news. So 30 minutes beginning the moment you go on-duty? Can it be all on-duty or does some of it have to be off?

    This is not a good sign.

    The spout they are unloading from onto my trailer just choked up.

    Meat Meal (for example, lamb meal): in this example, all lamb tissues, exclusive of blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents that are cooked (rendered). After cooking, the dried solids are added as "meal" to pet food.

    Blood is it’s own meal.. Blood Meal.
    It’s a NO! Never Again load.

    I took Sunday off, Yesterday it tained. No excuse, since I’m working inside a Trailer. But I used it anyway. Now I’m on the homestretch. Need 14 more screws. Total 54 screws. All I can say is. Screw this.
