    Did you get the permit changed, or do you still have to run to Houston then up 59 to 20?

    Loading @ Cummins Power Gen. in Fridley MN in the morning. Anyone ever been there?
    I'm curious if I can park there overnight.

    Can I run 35 W right through MSP to get to the 694 or should I go around?

    Run 35w straight through until you hit 694 West. Get off on Central/65 north. There will be construction on 694, but it is after your exit. Where are you headed from there? Lots of construction around the north side of the Metro, so I can help out if needed...

    On Edit... Are you coming in tonight? I also changed the directions... I was thinking about a different Cummins Location! Also, I've never been there. But google maps shows a tremendous amount of space to park overnight, just not sure if they allow it.

    If that's the Cummins power that builds military generators I loaded there once and they were great.

    Let me know if you have any questions. I would highly recommend going with contractors. You will pay them more. However, it keeps you from being an employer. You will also have less risk financially. Even if you own the trailers, you aren't on the hook for the rig. This will give you the chance to decide if it is going to work or not without owning a bunch of trucks. Don't let your Owner Op roots get in the way of good business decisions. Don't overpay...be fair. You will never be able to lower the percentage you start at. It would also be a good idea to have a good lawyer and accountant...I forgot, you have the lawyer part sewed up.

    No, they got it corrected for me. Running 10-20 then have to go south on 59 to Carthage and then up 79 into Greenwood. Then I'm good across LA MS AL GA. I have not ordered my SC NC or VA permits yet. Wanted to make sure I got the right dims. And luckily I talked them into using the 10.6 container instead of the 11' container. That saves me $140 escort fee over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge :D
