    Once upon a Time a long time ago I worked for a coffee broker and trading house. We bought coffee from Mexican farmers then graded the beans and put the beans in the warehouse and sold them to rosters all over the world shipping them out of the port of Houston. Mexico is a great source of Robusta coffee beans and Thats is the type of beans that The European market likes to have a high percentage of it in their ground coffee, whereas people here in the US prefer a larger amount of arabica beans that’s grown high in the mountains, (not just because the Jolly Green Giant pees in the valley)

    When I was with QC, I'd sometimes run a bulk tanker. Loaded coffee beans at the port in New Orleans. Took them to Sherman, Tx where they would somehow remove the caffeine, which they sold to the soda and pharm companies. Then we would load Decaf beans and take them down to New Orleans to the Folgers roasting plant. You could tell if the moisture content was high by the time it took to unload the bulk tank. Didn't happen very often. Was a good run until Folgers finally put a decaf plant in down in NOLA.

    I'm preparing a T-BONE STEAK and gratuitous SIRLOIN STEAK for today's arduous journey.

    The OM is UP.

    If your guy calls you on Friday and says “hey where you at and what are you doing next” that’s $. Then says “I got a 100,000 pound grinder I need loaded today” that’s $$. Then says”I need it in Nashville tomorrow and you’re the only guy I know with a TN blanket” that’s $$$ because a single trip permit will take 4 days. Then I explain I don’t have the hours and I ain’t been home in two weeks so it’s $$$$.

    I feel kinda bad about charging 5 grand for 290 miles, but only kinda. Hopefully he’ll find someone else. I really don’t want it
