    I used to load out of Lamb Weston several yrs ago...one week to Grand Rapids, MI..the next week to Hebron, KY. Hebron was a snap...bump the dock, they off ld the pallets...sign the papers...I'm GONE! Meanwhile in Grand Rapids...every other #### week it was: these fries need to be broken down into "such and such high and across etc etc."....well F' me! Finally I ask the dudes at Lamb Weston if we could stack a certain way on the pallets. Not a problem says Lamb Weston. Next time I show up # Grand Rapids...they of course say: "these have to be restacked""...I look at the pallets, wave an imaginary wand...say Abracadabra, presto changeo...and say "well there you go"! They were dumbfounded!!!!! Its amazing how one can solve problems with a little strategic thinking!

    Can I do that while the lumper is still in the trailer? There's a few I wouldn't mind sending for a tumble...

    Ahahahahaha... Problem is, it was the consignee's lift... :eek: I posted that on my facebook a while back, with the caption "PREPARE FOR LIFT OFF!"

    Pic was taken at Better Made Snack Foods in Detroit....the place that came out and gave me several bags of chips with my bill of lading..hehhe.. :)

    I hated that place. Thank God my first trip in there was at 5am. What a PITA that place was. That was the place I blew my shoulder out trying to get the #### trailer high enough so I could get out from under it. They actually had to start raising the wagon and I drove out from under it. And then I couldnt get back under. they had to lift it with a fork lift.
    And yeah dude gave me 4 big ole bags of chips too. But man the BBQ were spicy and salty as all get out, but the plain vanilla chips were good.

    I liked the BBQ, but it was spicy.

    That's funny. I didn't get to go on the lift, i went in the dock next to it...i had no problem whatsoever.

    Man, I used to love going to the spud factories. It always smelled so good! Can't remember which company it was, might have been Weston.
