    Just checked and not one load for 100 miles posted on CH load board around that area, it is all hit and miss with charcoal as with any seasonal commodity.

    If I had a 53 dry van that I did not care what went into it I know more places to get cherry seasonal products, but some things should never be loaded in a food grade dry box and since my trailer is good to go for food it will not see this trailer.

    Oh and FYI, if anyone trys to get you to haul a load to Dublin Ga say no. It is recycle paper and card board and heavy, and once you get there they sya you must load your tractor and trailer onto a dump ramp and they lift it up and shake it off your trailer. I kid you not!

    I told them hell no and had a yard tractor take it and dump it, 2 hours later it came out with a bent hinge on the trailer door.

    Must be a landstar load, CH does not have anything listed, that part of the country is not on my route. I do not doubt you at all but just saying not posted on the CH board is all.

    Mulch and fertilizer?

    2 cans of ground coffee does wonders when it comes to getting odors out of the trailer. But baled plastic milk jugs? Never Again.

    Yes both commodities you posted, but.

    If a 3PL is asking for food grade trailers and they know you hauled some funky monkey bags of XXX they mostly do not let you have it, but you are correct that coffee does wonders.

    Milk jugs, that made me gag a little knowing the odor they do make.

    Mulch is live loads, if the bagging plant is low you have to set as well. Compellingly understand why you did it and I would as well if in that situation.
