A new chapter begins and a new home for the Morehouse/fcc orphans

Granted I'm only a month into this but I've yet to load or dump at a place where the people are jerks ...99% are straight up cool !
Boss is laid back and doesent treat me like a slave .
Decent tractor and new trailer .
3000 acres I could hunt if I still hunted lol.

 

What I'd really like to know is where my outbound dispatcher at Morehouse went when he abruptly quit in July and walked ?
He was what kept me there for almost 7 years and he had been the about 20 years .
Nobody's talking if they know .

 

End of week 4 hauling grain working for a farmer .
Is it perfect ? Nope But it's dam close compared to otr .
Boss doesent treat me like a slave and is easy to get along with , pay is good and on time , equipment is decent and well kept , home every night too .
Definitely not a boring job either and the people I pick up from and deliver to are a world away from those I dealt with OTR .
Other than harvest season off weekends too....im very happy ! And ....I owe all this this to my last 3 employers starting with Fremont contract carriers for firing me in June cause I only wanted to run around 2300 miles a week ..from what I hear they can't hardly give that now to people that want to run more ...more to come on that soon.
2nd runner up for July goes to Hill bros. Transportation where I stayed for exactly 31 days ..they get the prize for the most disorganized don't give dang company I've ever worked for .
3rd is Don hummer trucking of cedar rapids iowa and they get the blue ribbon grand prize for totally lieing to me and they're expectations of me ...I stayed 7 days ...absolute dirtbags .
Glad I discovered the agricultural side of trucking and will never willingly go back OTR again , which saddens me a bit because I loved it until some factions that I won't name trashed it and made truck ownership no longer worth it .

 

Last 2 days hauling high moisture corn out of the field loaded off a grain cart that will put 1000 bushels on my trailer in about 7 minutes grossing 86k that were permitted for .
Glad for my days working at the county hauling rock as I understand field entrances and rock roads .

 

Ohhh and by the way ...yeah my truck trailer looks nice ....trailer near new but running miles of gravel roads a clean truck is off the table .

 

If you are a pride and polish person this isn't the job for you ! ...constantly in gravel dust , grain dust and chafe , when it's wet it will be slop .
Elevators and grain facilities are either dust or slop .

 

I remember grain dust explosions from when I was a kid ..I think they have that handled .
Strictly corn and beans .
Bartlett grain in council bluffs last 2 days and they are constantly out there doing something with the filtration system.
