    Nah I'm home now. Nothing good out there today, but I was under load this morning and went and dropped it off in Columbia SC and then back home.

    I had told him if there was something remarkable to let me have it, but otherwise I needed to catch up on paperwork and filings... which I do. But as usual, I just ate a big meal and feeling drowsy now... probably fall asleep early and get a load in the morning and be in the same boat. :biggrin_25511:

    But, I worked 9 days from saturday to sunday (if you lump this morning in with yesterday), so I could probably take a day or two off I'm guessing. Although it's not easy to stay running over the weekend so not a good idea to choose weekdays for time off usually.

    I'm sorry, I should ask how you're doing? I'm a little behind in this thread.

    Thanks for the reminder... looking now. Guess it's H&M trucking, not farms.

    If I have a decent week this week as well I'll assume July was just a fluke, but if last week is the fluke then I'm going to explore options. April and May were fine as well. We'll see.

    About to finish up this one elevator. Maybe tomorrow, earlier than I expected. Not sure what's next...check with grain merchant I guess. Thought would last all week guess not.

    Could haul from this other elevator but rate was really bad... not sure it's worth it. May check with other grain company. Heard today one company only had one pit open, around six hour wait. ADM has three elevators in town but only one pit open for all of them.

    At least it's a load. Cowdoc and you are the only ones I have heard of hauling rice.

    Yeah, Its common in dog food. He used to haul it a lot. They pay pretty good.

    He used to haul oat hulls out of Mason City too, and hasn't done those for a while either. I'm sure he doesn't care, that stuff is itchy!:biggrin_25525:
