It's back to the Wild West for Lori and Tamara. After making their delivery of bagged salad this morning, they accepted a load out of South Port, North Carolina headed for Casa Grande, Arizona (just south of Phoenix).
They got a bit of a treat once the salad was off-loaded. It seems the receiver didn't want to accept one case of Cesar Salad kits (6 bags) because they thought it was "damaged." Lori and Tamara didn't see anything wrong with it so they put the bags in their cooler to enjoy over the next few days.
The pickup location (Archer Daniels Midland) was near the North Carolina coast, a good spot for this particular facility since they produce sodium-based products, which they must get from sea salt given the HUGE pile of salt outside the building. The load is 50-pound bags of sodium citrate, otherwise known as citric acid, a food additive.
Getting to and from South Port was interesting since much of the route was along smaller state and U.S. highways. Lori saw lots of small stands selling local produce, including yams and boiled peanuts, a very Southern roadside treat.
The directions from Prime weren't the best either, so Mike talked Lori toward Interstate 20 over the phone while he was looking at Google Maps on-line. Once she makes it onto the interstate, the rest of the trip should be pretty straightforward.
The delivery location is Ross Laboratories, which manufactures "nutritional products" according to documents Mike found doing a Google search. They should arrive Saturday afternoon.
