Snow 4 or so inches so far. When all said and done supposed to have 10-14 inches of snow.
Big John Thanks this. -
Called on a posted load just a minute ago. Soybeans; 280 loaded miles, 30 cents, 950 bushel, $1.02 p/mile. WOW!

Those guys can tear a truck completely apart and put it all back together right. They could open a diesel shop and make good money if they wanted.
They've also got a deal with a certain broker/company and we do all the hauling through them. Runs year round with the busy season in the winter keeping all the feed mills running. So that deal out of Catoosa and Inola isn't through the lowballers at ADM. Not that we're making money hand over fist, but I don't think anyone is.Last edited: Feb 20, 2013

They run regional here so worst case for them is a truck broke down a couple hundred miles out. They'll get the parts together and come fix it where it sits. If it's something minor, we fix it and limp it in. I blew a radiator hose on mine and had to replace it in the dark, then wait for another driver to bring me coolant. It was cold and dark, but they paid me for doing it so it's all good. I've been thinking one of those tow units that attaches to the fifth wheel on a bobtail would be a good investment for them but we haven't talked about it yet. -
