    It did. We hauled that one and only load to a feedlot in Winnemucca. Apparently traveling five hundred miles will pack that stuff down pretty good.
    The trailers were fairly new Bealls and they unloaded everything real well. Not rice bran, though. That stuff would not flow.
    The driver wound up unbolting and dropping the bottom cones, driving around and around in a circle on a big concrete slab, vibrators on full, and bottom dropping that stuff in clumps and chunks while two guys walked alongside the trailer and beat on it with rubber mallets.
    The guys in the feedlot said that the last set of pneumatics did exactly the same thing. What a surprise.
    When the driver called in empty I told him since he made all the money that day he'd better bring us a box of donuts next time he came by the office. He brought two.

    I had to wait on a guy to unload that mess one day. The receiver told me “He should be done soon. He’s been here about an hour.”

    Right, I left and went to our yard down the street and hung out for an hour and a half before they called and said they were ready for me. Lol
