for coffee
this morning as hegot his cup filled and headed back to his unit. He explained that the unloading process at each of the five local terminals was pretty much the same, excellent people to deal with and at UGG and Dreyfus the use of dippers was a regular feature of the delivery where the truck stops before going onto the unload area and a remote dipping device takes samples from his load to speed up the grading and assessing process.

This concentration of traffic and commerce continues to demonstrate the underlying strength of the economy and the positive growth that goes along as we see continued economic diversification and impressive productivity fueling the economic process.
Today these transportation giants are peering through the ground drift as they hustle their way to and from pickup to delivery. A daily grind of gears, coffee and commerce.
