    What the heck,is that shipper too cheap to bag the potatoes.Your company should pay more then $75.00 to unload.Do u have any idea how long and back breaking that's going to be?

    Pattyj, I was joking about $75 unload assist pay. It's sort of an inside joke among us May drivers, it has to do with plant loads ;-)

    McCain Foods has a "All traffic must stop and check out with guard before leaving" sign at the outgoing lane of the guard shack. Yet when you stop and wait for several minutes for the guard reappear and come check you out, he tells you, "You're good! If you're empty just go! Don't stop, there are cars behind you!"

    I find that irrational.

    Clean up is ten times worse in a reefer, gets stuck in the floor. Usually a driver can net himself about 20# of taters for taking home.

    No extra charge for the stink :biggrin_25523:

    Was back in Othello, WA today getting another load of taters. Good Lord, I've never seen so many potatoes stored in one building in all my life. The guy was loading like 3 trucks an hour.
