Wes806 1,483 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Thanks for sharing WP. I can remember seeing some sites like that when I drove OTR years ago. Always enjoyed driving the western states. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

edwardporter1 227 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I got home an hour ago from hauling stone in Yellowstone National Park for 2 days. The park is closed to the public but I was hauling for the contractor on a big project. I saw 12 people in 2 days .more bison than I could count. Gorgeous scenery and no traffic. What an awesome experence. Slept in the truck. Dead quiet. and the moonlit night. Beautiful 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IH Forever 376 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Where did you take the salt? We buy salt for feed by the semi load but it comes out of Kansas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. Trailer is pretty much all aluminum. I probably average a load of salt a week. Hauled 2 loads this week. This is the first one at Neligh Nebraska Quote Link to post Share on other sites

farmer john 8910 230 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Everything around here comes from Kansas. That’s one of my favorite runs. Good share of it comes from Lyons here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good share of it comes from Lyons here I don’t like loading in Lyons. Just personal preference. I know all of the mines have terrible lines during the winter but I still like Kanopolis. I can leave my truck in line and go home. 😜 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
