    Thanks for reading. Yeah they have 5 production facilities. All located in small towns nowhere near big cities. The biggest city Jack Links is in is Mankato and Mankato ain't no city.

    Made it to Pratt,KS after picking up in Booker. Pretty routine run. Especially love Wisconsin this time of year it's not cold and loaded up with snow.

    Made it to Minong without much issue. Pick up on the other side of the building after I deliver going back down to Underwood, IA. Crazy to think I have almost been at Stan's for a year now. A year at Swift felt like an eternity and I was there for 3 years
     
    TB John, Vic Firth, Lonesome and 2 others Thank this.

    Today the roads were quite crowded in Minnesota. Glad to be back into Iowa. No appointments are available for tomorrow so they got me dropping in Underwood at our drop yard. Picking up in Le Mars, IA going to Lansing,MI bet you guys could easily guess where it's picking up and where it's going.

    Yup. Glad I'm not taking an ice cream load down south again. The heat in Texas did a number on the old reefer I had.

    Waited around yesterday for the load to be ready and now I get to wait around at Meijer in Lansing, MI. Seems like it's going to be one of those slower than molasses weeks. Hopefully they unload me on time but I doubt they will.
     
    radioshark, Vic Firth and bzinger Thank this.

    Sitting at a TA in Denmark, TN. After I delivered I went to Romulus, Mi to pick up going to Memphis, TN. Delivers in the morning. Not a good week mile wise.

    It's just how it goes sometimes. The freight isn't there or isn't paying. Not sure, but I will stay positive regardless and enjoy the extra time I have this week to read more.

    Just got a phone call. Got a load picking up at Coors going to Golden, CO thinking it's probably dunnage from a distributor. Either way nice to see a bit longer run. Should go smoothly as long as Kroger doesn't give me hell in the morning. I am just bringing freight from another Kroger warehouse so hopefully they don't take too long.
     
    Vic Firth, bzinger and Lonesome Thank this.
