Jackson is at AK at the moment and appears to be backed in.
Just about every other traffic control light, coming off I - 75, @ Melvindale @ River Rouge, on to Schaefer H'way. going into Dearborn, there are 1 or 2 semi's with 2 stacks of 5's - 150's truck frames , from Tenn (?) I am thinking the ore for those frames was delivered in Ohio, (?) along with the fact the Alum. factor for the 150's is kicking in. Just not using ore like they use to........quantity or vol.

No More room at AK to finish unloading ! where they were pulled in at, they turned around, to reach another area, to finish unloading ......... no conspiracy theories yet. seems they might be going for stone?
""Yeah. Just finished the unload we had to back in to finish"" ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies...smile

She also appeared to get stuck for about 45 minutes while backing away from the dock. She was moving back and forth with quite a bit of prop wash and exhaust from her bow thruster.
She's currently on the St. Clair River, up-bound to Marquette.
