    Yeah, I heard our Office in Chicago went Union and I think We have a few others that Unionized before Jim Bults said He would just shut terminals down if they Unionized. The only reason I ever got Dirty was because we ran turnpike doubles and we had to break the sets up in a dirt staging area. With My route, I only ever had to deal with the trash if one of the loaders didn't pack the trash down enough and I couldn't tarp it. I kinda miss it, but I don't miss the Company at all. I loved hauling those turnpike doubles!

    Some of our loads would freeze too! We hauled sludge/poop in the Winter and it would turn into an poop cude! The loaders were supposed to make a nest for it in the garbage so it wouldn't freeze to the trailer, but there was always an loader will a bad attitude who hated to be told what to do. Sometimes the driver would be on the tipper for 15-20 minutes just banging away, tying to get it loose
