Depends on product you're gonna be hauling. Right now as long as i keep hauling corn or if i haul gluten corn feed i don't need a washout. If i happen to switch to organic wheat or other products i need a washout. A lot of shippers dictate whether you want they want to wash out or not. Some may require proof it was washed out. It really depends upon the products and what can be cross-contaminated and what can't be

 

I found out from a buddy yesterday that if You Haul popcorn that's all that trailer can haul. It can't have hauled any other product ever before so it's just dedicated to hauling popcorn only.

 

What's up everyone? I am delivering granules in mt Vernon In in morning an heading home. Got thru the house for a 10 hr break Wednesday night. Coulda went home Thursday but boss offered me a load paying 900 bucks. He told me i didn't have to take it. But I couldn't see turning down that kinda money. Come outta Chicago on 57 today. Roads were wet an had areas with snow an ice pack built up. Had lots of spray coming off the roads but there were a ton of vehicles in the ditches between kankakee an the 250 mile marker. Crazy stuff.

 

@bryan21384 I don’t mean to pry, but I will. How’s recovery goin? Any time frame yet on getting back on the road?

 

On my way back out to Cali from auburndale Florida with a two drop load of OJ. One in Stockton the other in the Bay Area

 

I imagine cuz it's food grade and they want no chance of product contamination. Example, I had the trailer washed out thoroughly in ottawa. Even went down road with tarp open to dry it out. Loaded granules. Unloaded today an seen a few stray kernels of corn coming out at the end. So contamination is possible even with a washout.
