    Yeah no doubt call ahead to your pickup and delivery locations. I had a couple trucks barely get unloaded on Thursday in KC before they shut down, I was lucky they weren't stranded there over the weekend.

    Send some of that snow to TN we didn't get a good one this year and winter is almost gone. Bill and Lauren think it doesn't snow down here they were bragging about wearing short sleeves a couple of days ago.

    Know of them e-mailed him some. Loads seemed too cheap if can't find backhaul.

    I am trying to put a round together and what they have pays good just didn't know about how they are at paying. ADM still owes me $300 for a load I did out of Kansas almost 30 days ago. ADM pays within the week here in Oklahoma but the Kansas office drags their feet, just another reason not to haul for them.

    If they are part of Kanza Coop they should pay fairly quick. I don't know if they are though.

    ADM locally pays very slow too. Count on 30 days here.
     
    Big John Thanks this.

    I don't think Sunflower Commodities is part of Kanza Coop? They must have some contracts with Kanza Coop? I believe Sunflower Commodities established business in 2010. I don't know much about them and never have done any business with them either.

    Sunflower pays quick, seems like they turn your checks around about as soon as they get your freight bills. Not sure what the exact connection is between them and kanza coop because I have never asked but it appears they may market the grain for them and some other coops in the area or something, similar to TMA. I believe the guys I have dealt with work out of the kanza coop office in Iuka so there is some sort of connection between the two. If you are able to put together a decent round you should be in good hands with them on that side.
     
    Big John Thanks this.

    UTI. Is it just me or are the rates still going down? I've been getting some really low rate offers this week.
