    Thx to the heads up I seen on here about the lines for salt I tried putting a bug in the boss's ear about trying to steer clear of them tomorrow. Unloading chicken meal tomorrow and hoping for a reload back South.

    Got my wish. Load of salmon meal going right back to the same place I picked up chicken meal in South Carolina. Unloading into a railcar
    was a rather slow process earlier today. I had to give the guy in front of me a jump start cuz their pick up truck wouldn't do the job. Had a much better connection to do it with my battery terminals. I'm here to tell ya though, watching chicken meal unload onto a narrow auger belt is akin to watching paint dry. Lol!!. I should've took a picture I guess.

    Yup it was the wrong address. Ended up going to esentially a junk yard i had to back down a super tight icy slope to get into. Wasnt too bad just took me a while to get on there because my.trailer kept slideing to one side or the other and doing its best to go in the ditch lol.

    On my way to grab rocks now going to ks

    Oh good well glad you got it figured out. That was altogether different than what I’d done, mine went to a concrete yard that sold bagged salt. I dumped in Springfield today, reloaded a whopper glass load and I’m done for the week. 3 day weekend!!!

    I’ve stayed close to the house all week, the heck with fighting that weather. I have a friend who trucks up in the panhandle and said it’s an absolute nightmare up there, and the temps remain cold during the day and frigid at night so there’s at least a few more days of that mess to deal with.

    I don’t know if the funk(flu) is going on in y’all’s neck of the woods but it set in with a vengeance down here on Sunday morning and has been kicking my butt ever since, I called in sick for the first time in about 10 years on Monday and have been doing just enough to get by since then, hoping this mess finds its way out of me before too long and I can get back to normal. Stay safe and healthy out there fellas.
     
    Oxbow and motocross25 Thank this.

    My girlfriend’s daughter got it, and then she got it. Luckily they all bounced back in a couple days. Our shop guy had it last week and he said it dang near leveled him. Hopefully you’re feeling better soon!
