    The bad part is, I-29 was still under water the last I read, and I think that area got some more rain earlier this week.

    Ironically i will be going right through the area I wanted to avoid with all those bugs. Your right, can't use I 29, will have to take secondary roads.

    So went around I 29 by going up 71 North to 92 across. Could of just went up to I 80 but instead took that 92 side road across to I 29 up into Council Bluffs. Just decided to followed the GPS.. Had the time never been that route so what the heck. Road was a little rough and narrow in some spots but all in all a nice drive if you like the country side big fields and green areas.

    Loading up now at Tyson here. Load should be ready in a few hours.

    Got my trailer washed out before going into the shipper because there was PICKLE juice on the floors and smelling things up :biggrin_2552:. Didn't want to take a dirty trailer like that to pickup food products.

    Plus they might reject that trailer if you do take it in like that. Sooo.. just keeping it as clean and hassle free as possible. You know strive for Professionalism!! :D

    Heading to Idaho Falls to pick up a load of produce and then heading to Sysco Jacksonville Florida. Should keep me busy for the weekend. Hopefully the weather will get better.
