    Probably had steel on. US20 is very buckled and rough from the frost so all of my drivers are taking 80 to 61 to come back from the Gary area with steel.

    Unfortunately, that's my competition. The planters are moving hot and heavy to get them out before the season. Things are going good for us out of the combine factory. Between combines and heads/tires we are pulling 2-3 per day out of there.

    I know some of those loads of tires going east to the port pay very well and most of those heads paid AWESOME going anywhere! Especially when you consider they are legal and somewhat light loads! Those planters were always fun and super easy to secure!
