I'm Sick & Tired of Reefers...

I have never had any trouble at Smithfields. They always have me ready close to the time they tell me its will be ready.

 

had last 5 meat loads in a row ready when i got there
helps that 3 of them were at waterloo iowa
and 2 were combo
greely and marshalltown are bad
perry arkansas has always been ready
had good luck at nebraska city too

friona tx is terrible out in the middle of nowhere like cactus tx
joslin ill has been good for me

but if i have to wait i just get a room and kick back

 

i think my worst for time was the meat place in tarheel nc. might have been smithfield cant recall and it was tied with nastiest place as well. the other nasty place was the chicken goo place in dothan al on a nice summer day.

 

The Smithfield plant in Smithfield VA is worse than the one in Tar Heel. By far the worst chicken houses are anything that Pilgrim's Pride owns. The IBP locations in Nebraska - Schyler especially, and National in Dodge City are my top locations for worst beef plants... the trailer yards are dirt, and it just plain gets ugly when it turns to a sea of mud.

BTW, have you ever run through Hereford TX? The stench from the miles and miles of feedlots will flaten a buzzard a mile off on a hot day.

 

I spent 40 hours past DLD in Tarheel after thanksgiving, that place sucked...

 

Smithfield Packing on Hwy 87. you can smell the plant from up the road. I think I saw a CR England yard right next to it.

 

lol, I was in Smithfield, VA at the plant one night and watched a bucket loader go by with a bucket full of dead pigs. Not sure where they were going off to but I'm cooking up some sausage right now and I don't ask questions.

 

Picked my load up in Grand Island. Apt was for 1800. Was ready at 2000 4 stops not too bad for all those stops. Also like the fact that they have poured concrete and no more moon craters and dust storms. They even bring the trailer to you. Look forward to coming back. Oh have I said How much I love Reefers
