    Wheathauler yep ive heard of mueller trucking them and penner are the local boys outwest biggest nightmare. Dad has been an o/o sense 1970 guess he knows how to winter the storm lol. Hes dedicated to a feedyard west of satanta lil bitty yard he hauls all there own corn but this time of year they buy from riada and debruce. So out comes the foreingners dad hauls from all the local coops to there usually 30 mile round trips and it pays pretty good averages 25 loads a week. So riada and debruce are only paying 4 cents a bushell and those guys are eating it up lol. His stuff is all paid for older equipment and old vehicle lol but he wouldnt have it anyother way you know the old G.D.I.

    I guess you got my PM. Yes, some of these guys hauling are not too bright. I got more than that a few years ago for the same mileage. Course that was few years ago... dog eat dog right now but your dad has been at it long enough to survive

    That's right I forgot about that. Yes, you have to be careful these days too much rate cutting. I don't want anyone else to experience the joys of being dumped for lower rates. Some things better said on PM's. It doesn't take too long to get to fifty.

    Did you see that Chiefs-Denver game! Man the Chiefs actually looked like a NFL team.

    Maybe, but I wont start holding my breath for a while just yet. They still need a new offensive line. Ill be jumping on the Colts bandwagon for the rest of the post season...

    I was for the colts until the jets game. I know the reason for not playing the regulars but I think people would remember a perfect season more that a superbowl win...as in the dolphins. JMO I know many will disagree. Anyway should have some good postseason games.
