    There has to be more to that story.

    I smoke in my truck all day long and have never blew through a stop sign.

    Having worked some time in the ag field, I can say that I understand their scrutinization. Mix a bit of the wrong ag chem into a product and you can destroy millions of dollars of crops.

    I don't know about destroying millions of dollars of crops but I know what happens when you mix a butyl ester herbicide with an amine herbicide. Instant sludge. Instant plugged up spray valve and wing booms and nozzles. Plugged up to where they have to be removed and steam cleaned and the residue contained and disposed of properly. At least a day of downtime for the aircraft. Big bucks, big headaches.
    I can't imagine what a whole trailer load of contaminated insecticide or herbicide would cost and I don't want to find out.

    Especially if something gets mixed with Roundup. There are crops engineered to ignore Roundup. Mix another chemical into it, and spray a field, and you could kill an entire crop in the field.

    What? How? He pulled an empty trailer from NJ to Denver thinking he was loaded the whole time? How do you not realize it's pulling just a little to easy? Did it say sailboat fuel on the bills or what?
