anyone haul apples?

Whitehouse in Winchester VA is a Cider, Apple Juicer. I forget where I got the apples for them from... But I shore as hayul remember unloading cider in gallon glass bottles, 6 to a box. You had to set them down GENTLY or they crack **TINK!!** on that floor and is a total loss.

 

all this talk about apples makes me think of hard cider. man that was some good stuff -

 

Used to set a gallon out of a farm in PA Line waited a month on it. Poof hard cider. YUM.

They sell cider down here, but it's never worth a ####. ive thinking about shipping some more from the east this year.

 

Hauling them right now. 34°F continuous.

 

Chicken haulin outta Waco, Tx to Portland with a second to Kent, Wa. Or just 1 drop in Seattle.

Was the klucker's blood gone in Ellensburg.

Get it to the Yakima area, theres several growers. Stuff em at 34 and get gone to a 2200 mile race back to Texas.

 

Yakima and Wenatchee, and north along the Columbia River all the way to Okanagan. 34 degress in a reefer until it gets REAL cold across the northern plains. then up to 39 or 40 with cardboard on the floor, but most on pallets now. The apples are stored in cold storage rooms in plywood bins with the oxygen taken out and filled with a gas. It deadens the fruit until they open the room to pack and ship. Usually within 2 weeks the room is mty and if the fruit is not shipped in another 2 weeks, it has to be re-inspected. Called CA (controlled atomsphere) storage. CH Robinson not only buys and sells the product, they also arrange the transportation, only one of many fruit brokers in apples.

 

I haul them all the time, 34 degrees on continuous.
