I think my merchandiser thinks I'm a idiot, well maybe I am, he was paying 15 cents a bushel for 50 miles and then wants to pay 27 cents a bushel for 120 miles! Guess it must be merchandisers math.

Found some wheat to haul today and will have some more tomorrow. Tomorrows actually pays pretty good I like that. I've already run more this winter than last winter. Next week looks like a really cold week according to the weather people.

I've been hauling a little bit this week, 2 days out of the elevator, and today beans off the farm. The bin is really slow, but it is a short walk to his house, so he provides coffee and breakfast for the first load!
I don't forsee this winter being a very good one for us hauling grain, rates been going down, fuel going up, and a short corn crop. Since yesterday was the last somewhat warm day in the forecast, I powerwashed the drop deck, put it in the shop, and if I'm not hauling grain, going to work on painting it. So something good will happen either way, either I'll be busy hauling, or busy prepping and painting. Think I'm going to use POR 15 on the rusted parts, haven't decided on a topcoat. I used some of Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black this summer on a couple steel pieces, seems like really good paint. -
