    I'm back to doing my one a day load of soybeans from home to Fayetteville. The rate is great since it's set for Raleigh, but Fayetteville is 50 miles closer to me and takes the product just as well. So Im' getting like $1.80 all miles and home nightly, but Cargill just closes too early to get more than 1 done, so it's not nearly enough volume to stay ahead.

    Man if I could do 2 a day I would be set. I'd stick to this for years.

    Why can't it ever just be EASY???

    LOL no... the Fayetteville that is 50 miles closer than Raleigh.... NC!

    I'm starting to notice that every state has all the same city names as everyone else.

    Tell me about it. But.... Hubby called me one day and said, I'm going to Mexico.

    I gasped.

    He says Mexico MO. I wanted to wring his neck for scaring me like that. LOL:biggrin_25525:

    Its all confusing. I still have problems with the mapping, because you know if you don't spell the name of the town right, you aint finding it. :biggrin_2552:

    What time do they close 4PM? Too bad they don't have the hours Wichita bean plant has 24/7. You would be set for some time. But then again that would be too easy. You really wouldn't want it that easy you'd get spoiled.

    7 to 3 at most. But usually 7 to noon.

    I hear during "season" they are open 24 hours, but not most of the year. I bet or wonder if that wichita isn't also closing early a lot of the year.
