    Roflmao chewy ... seriously as a company driver on milage I wouldn't be to happy about it !
    The people are nice and don't screw around but it isn't for anyone with a weak tummy and if I didn't have a side kit to put up I'd probably say no .
    I load hides at Omaha , Kansas city , kuna ID , Hastings ne and scottsbluff ne .
    It isn't for everyone for sure ! And after you load at kuna it'd straight to the Boise stage stop for a shower cause the smell there sticks to ya .
    Blood , gore and flys abound .
    Just like a cow hauler I keep rubber boots in my trailer box .
    Rendering plants such as kuna are the worst with Omaha being the best with fresh hides .
    Pull my side kit down and im back to bein a regular flatbed again .
    Somtimes it's not pleasant but I got bills to pay.

    Could be worse. You could pull a dump trailer for Valley Proteins.

    Doing the things others do not want to do will always make you money.

    I believe I'll just try to stick with wheeled equipment, machinery and chemicals. Rarely tarped and always odor free.

    I knew guys that pulled rendering wagons into Hygrade ("The Aroma of Tacoma"), definitely need a stout constitution to do that work. That place was gross. Ball Park Franks never appealed to me after I found out they were made there.

    The "Aroma of Tacoma"! Boy does that bring back memories. I grew up in Federal Way. On summer days when the wind was right the smell was overpowering even 15 miles downwind. The neighborhood kids made a poem:

    Stinkle stinkle little city,
    What a shame,
    What a pity,
    You can tell by the aroma,
    That you're in or near Tacoma.
