East Central Iowa
Hauled some corn into Quaker Oats in Cedar Rapids, Iowa today and found myself behind 7 oat trucks out of Canada. Just having a hard time thinking about the cost to haul them that far. One driver said his company has 10 trucks hauling and had 200 loads to haul yet. Also said there is no good back hauls, so they are running back empty. He said its about 900 miles one way.
