In Scottsbluff, NE there is a plant dedicated to processing sugar beets.
So, what sense does it make to haul sugar beets from Ft Morgan to Scottsbluff?
This is the road I must share with these beet haulers.
These are some of the beet haulers.
These are the "good" trucks. Some of the junk individual farmers and independent truck owners run are downright scary. I speak from experience having worked as a truck driver one harvest some years ago. By some miracle I didn't hurt anyone or wreck a truck. I did have a tailgate failure and scattered 12,000 pounds of sugar beets along a three mile path. Oops!

If it runs and rolls, it goes. You are the drive, make it so. No time or money for upkeep. But prayer does help.
Gmail doing what Gmail does, I guess.
Do what you need to do to stay ahead of expenses and hope you survive. Bonus if you don't kill someone.
Sugar beets in Nebraska! You know they have lost several workers in those vats and fingers and whatever. It all gets mixed up there and you eventually eat in cake. True story. My ex-mother in law used to work there.
Big plant in Torrington.
