    I pulled a load of blood meal to NY one time and the only thing we could find coming back was landscape stone in PA .
    I had a female DOT cop stop me in NY . She was going to do a level 1 but didn't get past the bills . "What's blood meal ? " Dehydrated blood - 48,000 lbs. of it " "Oh , o.k. , you're good to go . " :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    Not really sure. Used the ECM off old engine to put on this motor. New motor rated 385 could go to 430. Old motor 430 could go to 470. ECM off new motor wouldn't work on my truck for some reason. That's why I'm going to Cat to see what the motor is set for. They said costs $450 to uprate an engine.

    I only hauled a couple of loads of it and didn't have any problems .
    I loaded at Griffin in Union City , TN . The truck was covered with red dust . Then a little ways out I hit rain . :biggrin_2551:

    wow, wonder what they use bloodmeal for? My uncle runs coal in a tri-axle here in PA, and I found it to be quite intresting work, run 16 hours, go home, wake up at 3am and back out to run again, and mind you they all haul ### on these back roads. Call me crazy, but I would probably do it if I had the chance. I did see some guys running end dump out of the mines, just was wondering if it happened often, thanks for the answers fellas.
