    Mr. BigRigger: Next time I'm there, can I go visit your mom? She's gotta be better company than those young security kids they have....

    That's the typical Cargill for ya. I'm almost to the point of refusing cargill load's because of that BS. Plus the place's are nasty as I have not seen one cargill plant in half ### decent shape.

    The norm, its a meat plant they are all like that. You get used to the stinch after a day or so, I would go to the days inn motel or that fuel stop with the scale and park when I went to plainview. Meat plants are notorious for using up all the extra pickup time and making you run your ### off to get to the appt.

    The reason alot of meat loads are late is not really the plants fault, they have an order to fill for a certain number of a certain grade of beef. They have to wait for the USDA to inspect it and grade it, and since they dont know what the grade is until they process the cow they have no way of knowing how long it will take to kill enough cows to produce enough of the certain grade that the customer ordered!

    Us meat haulers deal with it but I hope I was able to explain why this happens to some of you who dont have alot of experience haulin beef!
