    If they don't blast it, it'll rot in a reefer. Which is why I had to explain my infrared thermometer to everyone. I can't be the only idiot that pulps to cover my ###.

    I keep mine in my mini fridge. Never needed to check anything. Yet.


    As for load times, I waited for 6.5 hours to get loaded up with chicken yesterday....

    Wait time depends on the DRIVER. We use to have to wait four hours to unload 3-4 pallets and reload 2 pallets on the trailer, so we kept losing the load that we were on after we were completely unloaded at the next stop. So we had one of our guys come into the office tell them we aren't picking the reload up and we left just like that. Next week, unloaded and reloaded in one hour. A lot of the times the employees are just too lazy to work, so you yourself have to rush them and be their boss.
