Van Wyk Inc.

So today I had a live unload turn into a drop n hook....while I was retrieving my MT trailer at another processing plant in Omaha...I had need of a bathroom....I asked a yard dog where the Bathroom was and he pointed me to the front office......Now bear with me....I generally wear a collared shirt (Polo's or button Up) and keep a generally clean apperance (except I am growing my hair out and a beard now that I am out of the army but I keep it combed)....well I walk in and grab the next door that leads into the offices the secratary looks at me and just buzzes me in....I ask where the bathroom is and she say oh its right here....well longer story short...I went to the wrong bathroom (the one for drivers and help were somewhere else) I got to use the Office bathroom where the execs and office people use....moral of the story...You ARE judged by how your dressed...now imagine if I walked in wearing shorts (yes I have some) flip flops and a 4 day old tshirt with food stains...and no sleeves and a big ol stetson and smell like I havent showered in 4 days...I am pretty sure I would have been directed to the pleebes latrine....not to mention I would not have just been buzzed right into the office area....​

 

Decided to stay out yet another week....the kiddos aren't home and the wife and I really don't get along well so I reset and grabbed a load with 3 stops...one in Maryland and 2 in Jersey....

 

Getting loaded in New Glarus and wishing it was a beer load....LOL! Headed to Lauren, IA and then hopefully to Sheldon for my 10. Need some supplies and then on to Dakota City.

 

So if it's not beer what is it Jacks Links? I'm not aware of anything else in New Glarus.

 

Jack's, yeah...though...should I divulge that to the competition???

The sorry, sorry part of it is that New Glarus only ships to Wisconsin. I went to College in wisconsin and got hooked on Spotted Cow. Now I have to drive two hours if I want to have a pint. Booooo!

 

I used to live in New Glarus, it was good stuff. I'm kind of a Potosi Brewery fan myself.

 

It was Jack Links to Laurens, IA. I'm at the mother ship waiting for a service tech to look at why I'm getting a check engine light again.

 

east of Haggerstown....the hill climbs killed my schedual...but its all good...still have plenty of time to make it to first stop (about 1.5 hrs away) after my break.....hopefully they can get me in and out (yeah right) so I can miss the baltimore rush.....

 

Got a phone call from the wife an hour ago....seems I inherited yet another mouth to feed...her daughter from another relationship has moved in with us...and she is going INTO her teenage years....WONDERFUL....now I have 4 kids LOL...

 

which way did you take???
