    Dryland beans and milo are looking bad around here. Hoping we have something to haul at harvest and this winter and spring.

    I've never considered what Nestle spews out to be chocolate milk. I'll stick with Hiland or a similar small distributor. Course I say this while munching on a raw hot dog wrapped in cheese and I know how they make hot dogs. Hey, it's edible by the time I get it.

    Too dry or too wet?? Its been hard to keep track this year. :biggrin_25513:


    They could be using it for something other than chocolate milk! Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for!:biggrin_255: In my area, Prairie Farms Dairy have the best chocolate milk, at least we know its real milk from real cows.

    R.W., keep drinking the Prairie Farms Dairy milk,thats who we sell our milk to,they bought Southern Belle Dairy out last year(thats who we used to sell our milk to).Prairie Farms Dairy have been real good,down to earth folks to deal with and they are really strict about milk quality,which is not the norm in the milk industry,plus they pay REAL good for quality bonuses:biggrin_25525:

    A 98-year old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They tried giving her some warm milk to drink but she refused it. One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen and remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk. Back at Mother Superior’s bed, she held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little… then a little more. Before they knew it she had drank the whole glass down to the last drop. “Mother,” the nuns asked with earnest, “please give us some wisdom before you die.” She raised herself up in the bed and whispered, “Don’t sell that cow.”

    I would like to know if anyone would know if there is any grain hauling companies in the Southwest Missouri area that would hire a new driver with little OTR experience. I have about three weeks of OTR under my belt. I had to quit the last company It was due to a family medical emergency. When I called to let them know I am on my way to the hub. They told me to turn around "Thanks to the crapy trainer). I want to get behind the wheel again, and get away from the radios and the computers. If you could help please let me know.

    Thanks,

    Nathan

    I've delivered alot of different products to Nestle in the past year - remember it's Nestle/Purina. :) That stuff is probably for pet food, esp hauled in a hopper.

    Hope things are going well out there - still at home trying to sort out my end of things. Have a great weekend friends!
