Dang right I got home this afternoon and had to have to usual talk with patsy about us being civilized folk and we don't live like pigs ...now get ur arse to work you've known for 4 days I'd be home today ill be in the garage.
But dam it hot in here !
Somebody took out the windows and enclosed them when this area was a war zone but the frame work was still there , perfect place for my spare window unit I have from a semi truck generator experiment years ago so out came the Sawzall and it looks pretty good ...works good too.

 

Well first of all being an old meat hauler so no disrespect intended liberal ks is national beef ...dodge city is also national beef along with a Cargill beef plant
.
The ibp brand is still alive and well although ibp was purchased by tyson foods in 2001 .
Not sure what year but you may remember Excell Beef whose name still lives on but they were purchased by Cargill years ago .
The former ibp beef plants at Lexington ne and Dakota city ne live on under tyson ownership with the packaging and boxes carrying the ibp name.
Dakota city and Lexington have been expanded extensively and last I knew between the 2 of them could kill 10000 head a day .
My info is dated as I don't haul much fresh beef anymore .
Tyson , Cargill also own ibp and excells former pork plants and its marketed under the ibp and Excell brands .
The above mentioned are all choice packers and I haul a little pork for tyson out of the perry iowa plant ...a little out of Lexington Nebraska .
That moves us to prime beef packers in omaha which are Nebraska beef and greater omaha ...I haul a little greater omaha but very little as they are a pita and no Nebraska beef .
I forgot to mention jbs packing and they are a packer that is all over the map slaughtering everything from utility cattle to choice beef...I do a little out of the omaha plant witch slaughters utility cattle but it's few and far between and I'm not sure if they even slaughter pork other than at beardstown Illinois .
I got windy lol. And only touched on what I know which is dated.
94 degrees here and cool in the garage.

 

No problem Paul and welcome to our little bs session !
It's gotten better with elogs but packers are ###### with no concern for the driver and I have little use for them other than pushing the rate till they say no.
As said I haul very little fresh meat these days and if I do it's on my terms .

 

Yep they are a prime packer and nobody orders a full load of prime beef ....lesson I learned at greater 0 .
