Im currently towing a barge to seattle with 128 reefers full of crab.  Big, big money in those containers.  But with casinos and restaraunts shutting down and whatnot, i have a feeling the market for it wont be there.
Wow, that's a high value load there.  I was watching a 48' reefer truck being loaded with red king crab clusters when I was down in WA, and at retail prices that truckload was worth just north of $1.1 million. 
And you have 128 of those behind you...

Yeah, and i cant even keep 1 of them for myself.  There would still be 127 more, whats the big deal?  :dunno:

If the Somali pirates caught wind of your load, they'd be pulling up alongside with their RPG's about Milbanke Sound  :chuckle:

Good call Chris.  I didn't want to be the first to warn of this, but I unfortunately was right on this one.  My wife's son works in Emergency Management as a regional director, he's been on this for over a month and has told us every step of the way that this is going to get bad.  Glad you saved face and product on this one.  We all understand I'm sure.  We will of course look forward to the next opportunity, just glad I still have some of the last buy left. 

Thanks again and stay safe brother.

Thank you for sharing what you did earlier. It helped.  Thank your stepson for me for staying on top of this.
