No way in the world Baltimore pays 6200 for truckload produce.

I once took a COD out of Nogales AZ into South Central Denver, little mexico district grocery store with a load of green and they paid us a 1450 dollar check, which we promptly and carefully handed over to dispatch.

The reason I don't believe Baltimore will pay that is because the people there are not much on produce anymore. So they must be putting them into more affluent counties to the stores there.

Nogales has been paying huge rates going east for several months

Yes there has been enough loss of Pork as in actual pigs. Dead. China is laid waste. What they did do before that ruin is buy Smithfield foods in the east coast and a few other big pork producers. Now they can ship American Pork and keep their society running. While they exterminate entire farms of pigs.

Once that jumps to the USA we are going to be hard up to get bacon at 50.00 a packet. Might have to fist fight for it. Thats where we are headed anyway. If you can haul it great there will be money in it due to it's value.

I actually endured a week of swine flu aka H1n1 with a W267 marker. antifivials at 20 dollars a day from India called Tamiflu broke the fever in three days, I am still infectious and am isolated from everyone until monday. But gained immunity now from that. It was a very vicious virus that attacked my brain for about 30 hours in the worst of it. Exhibited as confusion to the point that you cannot do anything for yourself. A doctor visit took care of that. Because life was in danger from that brain being eaten by the virus.

HA I laugh at swine flu. But at the same time I don't wish it on anyone. This isnt normal flu.

CDC reports that 6000000 sick this week, 55000 in hospitals. 3600 dead including 29 children And the season has already exceeded any values recorded since the CDC established weekly outbreak watch monitoring down to every single US county (Google it) weekly. One of those is me from last week. Not very many got it. But I got it. Ugh.

Anyway I expect the Pork situation to die off literally when it jumps to America eventually. Making it a most precious and valuable resource availible to only a few who has money. The rest of us will dream about bacon, sausages and other things and not have it for a few years until the herds are built back.

But to anyone able to haul a truckload will make money from this calamity. And hand over fist too.

Glad you were blessed to be healed from it. I'm so glad bacon & sausage haven't been on my plate for years.

Yessir, just goes to show how much is skimmed before the driver, who actually does the work, receives his share..... Direct hauling is the way to go, more effort, paperwork, time, & research, but bigger payout.

You can see the massive skimming going on in 2023 now too
