Truckers and hogs left to wait in heat
Swift shuts down : Truckers and hogs left to wait in heat

Worthington Daily Globe, MN
Quote:
WORTHINGTON — Hundreds of squealing hogs sat in trailers in the blazing heat on Wednesday, waiting to see if JBS Swift would re-open the kill floor. With little information from the plant, the truckers who waited with their loads were angry and disgusted.

Sure they are ticked off, because guess who pays for the dead ones, while waiting to get unloaded??? Yup, the trucking company or the O/O that is hauling them. We ate a load last year, because of this very problem.

Yup not just dead but broken legs weekly looking and so on.... I would be irate if they made me wait as well... that's simply something you can't do with livestock and expect nothing to happen.. If I was one of the drivers there I would be getting every bodies number I could to file against the company for my loss....
