    I wonder if you could put some tarps down on the floor where it would at least make a liner that would be easy to take out. It would cost even if you got them at Walmart is the only problem

    That's a good thought. Harbor Freight has really inexpensive tarps, could probably cover the entire floor and 18" up the walls for less than $50

    Frito Lay paid pretty good for taters - its by weight, so the heavier you are the more you're paid. Yup... its a belt feed right out of the field, lotsa dirt... they pay for that too! FCFS at the plant, although if there's a line you could be there awhile.

    Picked up some Potatoes for Swift out of Farmington NM once. It was way out of town though.

    Anyways was going to PHX they had a Drop Setup for us at Receiver.I put my trailer in the Door but there was a couple trailers that sat there for a couple days. Those were Dry Vans I'm sure that was a nasty mess.

    Oh no worries, it's 90 miles from the house. Any problems and I'll leave the trailer in their door with a kingpin lock and BT home.
