    LOL your not kidding. I was just there a couple days ago hunting mt's. Went to everywhere no one would let go of a trailer.

    Did notice the places I went to were called distribution centers so yeah seemed like they no longer made anything there. I also have brought sugar down to the border from Dominoes in Baltimore heading for Kellogss in Mexico before. Sadly people fail to realize there is no such thing as a service economy, you must make things to have a healthy economy. After all if everyone is in the service sector who are we servicing, the rich people who have made all their money by shipping jobs overseas thats who.

    And, like everything else, very little of Kellogg's cereal is made in Battle Creek anymore. They have a very busy international flight department that my office oversees. They fly all over the world arranging for links in their supply chain. I even think Tony's job was outsourced.

    I don't know about BC specifically, but here near GR, south of I96, I see Swifties all the time. They serve Costco, Target, Walfart, er, WalMart, and even Meijer, among others. My guess is they'll be in your neck of the woods, too.

    You shouldn't have a problem at all. We have a major shipper in Kalamazoo, Paw Paw, Reed City... drop loads in Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, etc.
