Short Haul Trucking: Deadhead to Springfield Missouri, Deliver in Waldron Arkansas, then back home.

[Mike]

This was my load to start the week. Woke up at the crack of dark, deadheaded 130 miles to Springfield, MO. Loaded, and then a little over 200 miles down to Waldron Arkansas to deliver vinegar to a Tyson chicken plant, and then a nice long deadhead home. Under 500 miles for the total trip from start to finish. Wouldn't mind doing things like this more often if it didn't require getting up so early.

As for the video, I screwed up at the end and forgot to cut the music. Long video, but wanted to capture the road footage on 71 south of Fort Smith.

I like the fast forward with the classical music that was a nice touch.
Pretty optimistic of getting in and out of Tyson in a decent time but, I'm glad it worked out for you.

I used to deliver dry-goods to chicken plants and it wasn't bad for me. The reefer guys on the other hand, not so much.

I hauled one load of chickens in a reefer. I didn't know when I accepted the load that the chickens were still alive. It took me 9 hours of waiting for them to be killed, dressed and blasted. Then they had to be boxed and loaded. It's no wonder we used to pick on chicken haulers so much back in the day.
