It's another long haul for Lori, following exactly the same route she just took to get to Pennsylvania. This time she's hauling 42,000 pounds of that "ol' school" favorite, Beefaroni (along with a variety of other Chef Boyardee products).SIDE NOTE: For those of you who might have thought that the "store brands" were different than the name brand products, this load includes equal parts of Chef Boyardee branded products and the exact same products branded with Walmart's "Great Values" label. I highly doubt ConAgra (the manufacturer) uses a different recipe for each of the brands.
You have to wonder what's in those recipes, however, after looking at the "best if purchased by" dates on these products. Lori was going over the bills of lading for this load and noticed that they included the "best by" dates. They were all at least TWO YEARS away! What the heck is in those cans that can last that long? I'm not sure I want to know.
The load is due in Corinne, Utah by Saturday morning. Lori would like to get it there by noon Friday so she has a better chance of getting another load before the weekend; many shippers don't work on weekends so she doesn't want to take the chance of having to sit around all weekend. A lot will depend on the weather, driving conditions, etc. so we'll see how it goes.
