    I certainly hope they look out for you on that split. They've split mine a couple of times. Last time I went to Laredo, they paid the miles from Laredo to Conway, MO on that week's check. One thing about this company, they will do what it takes to keep the company average of 2700 miles up, particularly for solos.

    Hahahaha we should have put a steak dinner on the line lol...Robert sends those messages sometimes, I'm thinking, "Dude, why are you yelling on the keyboard?"

    On a side note, the last time I went to the yard, the put on new steers. Then on the passenger side, they put this rusty, dull ### rim on. I finally got a chance to hand polish it, and I forgot why some truckers pay the pros to polish rims....I'm getting a workout for real, now I want a beer lol

    Ya need to let them know that anytime they change a tire on you're truck that you want to keep the same rim because you polish your wheels. If any of them have an issue with it ya can talk to Larry about it. He has told me in the past that keeping the same rim or rims is not a problem.

    Ahhhh ok I'll keep that in mind next time... I was able to somewhat revive that rim. Itll probably take a couple more polishes to get right though.

    Yes sir it doth cost $40 to enter the st.louis produce market. And by the way it's posted i must've had to pay it the last time as well. Also unloading across the street again like last time but in a different spot. Had to check in with guard shack. Gave him all my info then was directed across the street. The clerk over there had to see the receipt in order to check us in. Now waiting for a phone call to the dock.

    So all in all the produce market wasn't bad. 2 hours spent there total. Was only charged the 40 dollar entry fee. I guess the Lumper fee must've been prepaid.

    The only reason that I ever pay usually to have them polished is if I have a chance to pay someone that can do it with a buffer that can do them. I have paid for someone to do it by hand before but I figured if I going to have it done that way I can do them myself. I personally think that having them done with a buffer gets the best result.

    I stopped by the Iowa 80 truck wash to get cleaned up. I forgot how good that wash is. I remember you mentioning them a while back, but that's going to be my choice if I go to Oak Grove, Joplin, or anywhere else with a location. I do agree, the buffer for the wheels gets an amazing result. I used to pay to get them buffed when I worked for a different company, down in Baytown, TX since I went that way all the time.
     
    Lumper Humper Thanks this.
