    Any current or former O/O's on this forum that is/was leased to Cargil Meat Logistics as an O/O?
    I know they use to be Exel, and they haul alot of their own product.

    I take it that the Plainview plant can be just a little slow?:biggrin_25513:

    Sometimes. Pull a company trailer so sometimes it is ready and I just drop and hook, then the next time I may have to wait a while. But it is no different than most. The best is probably Beardstown.
