    Nope...sending Horsey to AZ next week. Sounds like there will be some room on the truck. Gotta make the money on the way down, 'cause we won't make it on the way back.

    Its not a Deere load. It is for another customer. We haul everything they make. So when they sell a system in Arizona, we go to Arizona.

    As for Deere loads, they don't really care if you put something else on the deck as long as you comply with all their requirements.

    We have about 15 van trucks. Most of them run between MN, WI, IA, IL, MI, IN & OH. 2-3 trucks per week deliver to the Northeast. We have about 35 open deck trucks.

    For the most part, our flats run relatively close to home. We do have a customer that is working on a big project that will require us to make deliveries to Washington DC over the next couple months. So you may see my trucks pulling flats in your neck of the woods. All our flats are 48' Benson aluminums.

    We have delivered out there for years for this customer. The current job is better than most. Right off of 395 in a commercial district. The trucks can get in at 5AM before traffic.

    Got stuck in northeast indiana today but worked out after awhile as they needed two runs taken over to portage, in and paid me very well with an even grand. Turn around and loaded out of butler, indiana for ETown, KY where I sit now for an unload in the morning. Overall very good and productive day.
