Load Shift On A Flatbed

Thank you!

So, if I understand this right, 15 miles = 79,200 feet, divided by 3 feet times 3 strokes = 200 cans for every 9 feet. 79,200 feet divided by 9 feet = 8,800 "cycles" (for lack of a better term). 8,800 times 200 cans = 1,760,000 cans per coil. Three coils on a truck means 1,760,000 x 3 = 5,280,000 cans. That's 1,000 cans for every foot above sea level in Denver, which is a lot of beer.

Today is International Beer Day, by the way. I worked late and missed the celebration, so I'll have to catch up tomorrow and call it International Beer Weekend.

 

I appreciate the effort. We have what? 60,000 cans in a trailer load?

88 Loads for today to ship later.

The brewery in St Louis had 116 loads on drop ready for the taking when I showed up to collect mine one night.

50 states in the Union. Millions. 300 million people. Call it 140 million people drinking. There is only roughly 14 million cans brewed today at just st louis and williamsburg roughly if you went by the total of roughly 200 trailer loads.

I wonder how many breweries in the Nation. I know of Coors in Golden which is literally a huge operation.

 

Yeah, and the Budweiser plant in Ft. Collins is huge, too. So those two plants probably supply all the beer needed for Colorado, Wyoming (a small state for population), and Utah (more drinking than you think over there). Maybe New Mexico too.

There must be a lot more breweries.
