    Humans are pretty resilient. For cryin out loud, we eat Roundup, formaldehyde, antifreeze, and so much more, with the government's blessing. Food safety is a recent thing. What do you think we did before that? We ate spoiled meat, moldy grain, rotten veggies; and people keep on keepin on. I doubt anyone would starve if they knew where our food comes from; least of all those who know and cause the conditions we're talking about.

    I used to deliver pallets to the chicken processing plants in Delaware and you are right on about what you see. One trip and most people would swear off poultry .

    One would think that for $17.99 a pound for Boars Head Virginia Baked Ham, sliced thin, the issues at hand with them would be nonexistent. This is just one plant. The main one at 24 Rock St in Brooklyn is just as bad if not worse. It’s very obvious someone is getting paid off to look the other way.

    Say you caught it from eating Boars Head and get in on, or start another lawsuit! But seriously feel better, hope it’s a quick round.

    Back in the truck after my covid adventures, which mainly involved a great deal of coughing. Not much in the way of loads out of Richmond. I was offered two loads, both of which totaled about 200 miles. But they delivered today, so that's an improvement. Picked the load of pallets which delivered in Roanoke. Was here a few weeks ago and got 6 hours of detention. Things seem to be progressing much more smoothly this go around, however. Already got a preload on me for tomorrow.

    Getting this almond milk unloaded for the last three hours now, typical Lineage Logistics place, lol! Can’t complain coming from Utah though which is rare here anymore. Bissel load next to Grove City Wallymart.
