Reefer Drivers - Nastiest Rendering Plant

Guymon ok pork plant.

 

Used to be a place on US 30 in Plymouth Indiana, called Plymouth Fertilizer. You could smell that place for miles around.

 

JBS-every location.

 

Go

Go To the cattle hide plant on babe gomez and Z st in south omaha sometime.
They process fresh cattle hides from greater omaha packing , Nebraska beef and JBS beef .
Nothing beats the smell of fresh blood , feces and tallow mixed up in a washing vat as the hides get washed .

 

The worst one I was at Thorn Apple Valley's processing house, where pigs came in one side, and the remains of the slaughtering process were at the other end. These were the guts and other parts loaded up on a refuse-hauling trailer, always overflowing, never covered, and often had things falling off. These were hauled off to the landfill. One day I ended up behind one of these trucks, with bloated stomachs bouncing and blood dripping from the gates, the smell was unbearable, and I thought it was the worst smell I ever had to deal with but I was wrong.

I was a temp driver and delivered a die set for a customer to a place that was across the freeway from the same landfill where the pig remains used to go years ago. One morning, I had to deliver there early in the morning, it was a morning where there was a wave of strong stench going across the freeway right into the area where I was parked to unload. I opened the door of the truck and almost puked, it was so bad that I had to close the door, turn off the heat, and hope that the smell didn't penetrate the seals of the truck door. I called my customer and told the manager there was no way I could deliver the load until the smell was gone, he broke out laughing. He told me the first time that happened to him, he puked in the truck cab and kept puking for 10 minutes.

 

fun times got deliver to a hide and tallow place east of town one day smell was not bad at all but when i got out of the truck walked up on the dock the guys that worked there were eating lunch setting on dead cows to eat only got go there once

 

Can confirm tannery smells are heinous. OMG

 

I can confirm that a dog food load of rancid meat was the smelliest I’ve ever hauled.

Had me wondering about standards for what we feed our pets, because the pallets of meat were labeled “Not for human consumption,” and the customer didn’t require temperature control(DRY load.)
