Williamsburg to Hagerstown

I picked up the beer today. Drove from Ashland to Williamsburg and then had to go through Anheuser-Busch's byzantine rigamarole.
1.) Weigh in, full truck and empty trailer.
2.) Check in with guard.
3.) Pull Forward to have guard check empty trailer.
4.) If clean, drop trailer in rows 1 or 2. If dirty proceed to trailer sweepout area, sweepout trailer and then drop trailer in row 3
5.) Procedd to entrace gate for Bobtail weight. (again this time with no trailer? what is the point).
6.) Get trailer assignment from guard.
7.) Proceed into the plant to find trailer.
8.) Hook up to trailer, brace load with straps, adjust tandems (rear wheels) to best guess of where the right position is for legal weight distribution.
9.) Proceed to exit gate.
10.) weigh trailer
11.) If overweight on axle distribution, return to the drop yard to adjust tandems.
12.) return to scale (repeat steps 10-12 until legal (12,000 on the steer axle, 34,000 on the drive axles (combined) and 34,000 on the trailer (tandems) axles.)
13.) Get papers.
14.) Have guard seal trailer (a seal is a little plastic strip that might well be a deterent to theft but anyone with fingers (or teeth) could break it. I suppose the purpose is more proof of non-tampered-with-ness.
15.) Leave.

all this took just 90 minutes!
This beer doesn't have as much room (it is in cans Busch and perhaps Busch light) to slosh around but it is stil heavy as balls (43,000 pounds) and on the crppy roads of Virginia knocked me around quite a bit.
The Busch plant is quite a place. Smelly in that malty with a hint of hops sort of way. steam billowing out all over the place train tracks leading in but not coming from anywhere (perhaps they used to bring in all the barley by train but no longer).
Enormous.
I got through DC just fine this time and then up to Hagerstown where I delivered (am presently delivering) mercifully just before the Appalachains get into full swing. (Heavy loads are very slow going up hill and very fast going down and so are a bit frustrating and nervewracking, alternately.
The next load will take me to Cockeysville, north of Baltimore, to pick up and the to Terre Haute, Indiana to deliver. What could it be! every time the quallcomm (the satellite comunications device) beeps it's like Christmas!
