    Those fuel haulers got a thread going. So I want to see what foodgrade haulers we have around here. Just a thread about anything foodgrade/bulk tank related. Questions, comments, general talk about our job.

    What do you haul? I mostly pull a chocolate wagon and sometimes I got sugar behind me.

    I pull everything from food grade oils to caustic acid. We haul our own stuff so we have loads when the dispatch can do his job.

    It really all depends. If I have crumb on with a slight incline, it's three hours. Liquor is 1 1/2. And there's a tasty bake I go to that takes 1 hour from arrival to departure for 45,000 pounds of some type of liquid chocolate. It's the fake stuff that's made of whey, sugar and oil that I hate. Scraping that stuff is like pushing a house an you always have a foot or two just sitting on the bulkhead.

    I like unloading sucrose. 25-30 minutes and I'm gone for the next load.
