Oh, goodness, everyone wants something for free...

Hubby had a load from OK to NE, going to kill. 42 head of fats. He gets there and all of them are standing. The company has no room for the load, so they stay on the trailer for 6 more hours, till they can clear room for them. In the process, upper 90 degree weather takes its toll on two of them.

Note from company on BIL, $0 paid for shipping due to two dead fats! WTH??? They were all alive when he got there, the heat and stress from being on the truck, NOT MOVING to keep them cool, was what killed them.

Anybody else have these kinds of problems with live loads?

 

Yup, we ate that load and the fuel! What a crock, huh? I doubt that he will be hauling any more loads to that facility. Darn shame too, because its only a few miles from home.

Oh yeah, and we paid $25/ each to have them removed from the trailer at another rendering plant.

 

Yeah, thats my thought too. Next time he will write on the BIL that he was made to wait x amount of hours to unload, and that all were healthy on arrival. Expensive lesson.
