    Probably totes of animal remnants… I pulled a load like that from Tyson to a Tyson plant & it literally drain blood everywhere I stopped… Those tote loads are some of the worst

    The back drain channel was completely full. I wonder if the beacon will even touch it...I could joke with them and say that 'at least I got rid of the bodies first'...but that might end up getting a visit from Mr. LEO.

    How’s 287/87 Denver bound vs taking the i70 route through ks? Is there a lot of lights?

    And the load from Hell just won't quit. 1 combo tote refused. Receiver said it appears it was punctured, and based on the amount of blood I had coming out of my trailer before they even called me in to unload, it most likely wasn't them that did it. And that Cargil is a small place with minimal places to park, so after I spoke with OSD, I went all the way to Weatherford (OSD said stay as close as I can to the receiver in case JBS asks them to take care of the disposal). But I have to wait until tomorrow to find out what the decision is. These last few months have taken their toll on my desire to do this job...not just OTR, but trucking in general. And the kind of issues I have had with this load alone doesn't help.

    I came across there today. It isn't too bad, there are a few decent grades on I-25 after 87 dumps you off on it in NM.

    Not sure...will find out tomorrow. And this most likely will screw up my next load. By the time they tell me what to do with it, I get it off my trailer, and get this nasty trailer washed out, I might not make my live load tomorrow. This might be my last refrigerated load, I may just see if Deland can bump me over to Hunt.

    Take 25 to Ratan then US87 to Dumas. That’s 4 lane all the way and the same mileage. 287 isn’t bad other than the 280 miles of two lane between Limon and Stratford Tx. There’s passing lanes and a few speed trap towns but the biggest issue is two mile long backups caused by 55 mph Raider Express trucks. The I-70 route adds over 100 miles.

    I had bar s foods in seminole ok reject a whole load of combos like what ssb is hauling eight now. They said the temp was too warm but my reefer stayed at the twmp the bills said. Problem was the product was loaded hot and the company put the temps on the combos. I had to take that load to our animal food plant in clarksville ar. Caused me to get home a day late
