Last year ended busy, the first week of the new year was a little slow, but now it's non-stop busy. Bean, Millet and Popcorn exports started late, usually they hit in Oct., didn't get in full swing until late Nov., now they are not letting up. A lot of 10 and 12 hr days, a few Sat. as well, recently started getting a ton of export hazmats as well. The office thinks we're going to stay very busy until March, they already have 30 pre-schedules for Feb., and one booking for 25 that rolled from Jan. to Feb.. A few random pre-notes for March, one of our bean customers sold 200 20' TEU loads (44,000 lbs ea) to a buyer in Jan., shipments start in Feb. will run through end of May, we are not confirmed for them, but looks likely.

 

I don't miss running grain/beans.

Kudo's

 

I never minded running corn/beans. Sometimes the lines got a little ridiculous and finding MT's sucked, but other then that, LOL.

 

Anyone know about pulling containers??
