    That #### thing fit so tight there was no chance of it leaking. Which was nice, until you had to unhook it.

    The fitting in question now serves as a cup holder in a Freightliner Classic.

    Slide it in between the cam lock and the fitting then close the camlock kindof pulling it into the fitting. Better, Clean the connection and if need be replace the camlocks.

    I haul to feed mills mostly and it varies from mill to mill they (company and the mills that condition of the system and piping has a lot to do with time unloading and pressure some i can unload pretty quick others 3hrs height plays a big part when your trying to push lime 100'or more striaght up it takes a lot of pressure to move it and trying to rush is hard on the equipment .

    Thank you. The trailer is only about a month old. The guy that owns the trailer has been getting Alumaclear on them before the trailers are delivered. And we have a wash out so it gets rinsed off after our inbound loads.

    We do food grade and feed ingredients.
     
    Frank Speak and MagnumaMoose Thank this.

    Here’s one when I picked it up in KC.

    I really enjoy this line of work. It’s not bad once you get the hang of it. So far the worst stuff I’ve hauled is a tie between urea prill and pressed cubes of water softener salt.
     
    Rugerfan and Frank Speak Thank this.
