    For harvest hauling found own customers. Otherwise I use a grain merchant from the grain companies. Occasionaly I will use a load board.

    Ok, I am officially sick of the rain, fog, drizzle, if its wet I am tired of it grumble grumble. I need to see the sun soon, or I will wilt.

    Wiper assembly broke yesterday coming out of Mound ridge. Volvo wont sell me the $2 rubber piece I need. But, they are willing to sell me a whole new windshield wiper assy (minus the motor) for $263, and I can have it on Friday!

    Any you guys ever been to the alcohol plant in Colwich?

    Sat in line there for about 5 hours with two loads yesterday. I was truck 14 in line. Me and another driver grabbed our fishing poles, and tried throwin lures into the ponds. They ran us off, but said we could fish the pot holes instead. I caught two bass, and a crappie.:biggrin_255:

    Yep, it's slow there. Only do about 4 trucks an hour... I've had to wait 5 hours for one load. It's one of the worst ethanol plants to unload at.

    I'm hauling from an ethanol plant tomorrow. Dry renew Meal or some such. The place is in Jefferson, WI if you heard of it. Renew Energy I think is the name.
