Nice! More complex than I thought.
Surprised Memphis, TN is so critical, but because of it's location, it's understandable.

Arkansas was exporting rice to China back in the 80's and I know that because many of us hauled truckloads of it in intermodal sea containers to the ports.

 

Did you ever haul chicken feet? Serious.

 

No, sure haven't. Wife and children love to eat them though. Delicacy in China and with most Chinese people.

 

Bars in Panama have them sitting on the bar like the eggs lol

 

Oh, yeah; Panama City, Panama. Good times!

 

For sure lol

 

Meanwhile I wonder why Lumpers aren't paid directly by whatever warehouse they're at.

Sooooo,,, I get $80 to pull this 160 miles and you get $300 to pull it 53 feet?
