    Well, finally getting some wheat to haul. Only going a couple of miles so won't use much fuel. Hopefully my body can take all the unloading I haven't run a lot recently.

    Good deal wheathauler,be sure you don't over-do-it, I have gotten a tad ''rusty'' myself this winter,it has been slower than normal. On a good note though,i picked up a really nice account for this year:biggrin_25525:

    We had some rough weather north and south of us today, kinda seemed like we were in tornado alley.

    Hi all. The boss told me today I'm fixing to start unloading the flat storage bins. Just hauling around the yard but I will be back trucking. The dry rice is slowing down so they're gonna shut down 1 side of our sample house and put 3 of us to work emptying flat storage.
     
    wheathauler and dairyman Thank this.

    Hauling more wheat in town next week. I don't spend much for fuel but the body is getting a little sore. I hauled close to fifty loads this week. On a postive note I should be in fairly good shape when the contract ends.

    Make sure you roll your tarp over a few times/day too,you don't want to get out of practice:biggrin_25525:

    50 loads:biggrin_255:,plus a free workout.That's a lot cheaper than a monthly membership a the local fitness gym:biggrin_2559:. Glad ya'll are staying busy.

    I've been hauling 4 to 6 loads/week of hulls with a few b-meal loads sprinkled in here and there trying to keep the rust from gathering up on my brake drums:biggrin_2559:,but at least it's been steady.

    Tarps rolled once a day Dairyman. Not sure yet if I'll be in a truck or inside on bobcat. 1 of the trucks is a 68 model Mack R600 237 Maxi and 5 speed. First truck I ever drove was a 67 specd just like it. Will bring back memories. And a sore back.
