The plant was shut down for several days for repairs/updates. It always takes them some time to get things working right again. I loaded a load of 18% gluten pellets Friday evening. They got the load loaded so late I delivered it today. The customer wanted it unloaded into an auger. Normally not an issue. It would be better if they would let me know so I could have the coal chute on but it usually works anyway.
This load of pellets was stuck together so bad that the whole load wanted to come out just like a big log!!! I sometimes get them that are a little sticky but you can just rake them down the pile and they are loose. Not this load. You could stick a pitch fork into the load and you could not get it to break any loose. Finally used pallet forks on a skid steer. Still had to beat them up to go into the auger.
Took over two hours to unload the load. What I really wonder about is the guys loading before and after me that had grain hopper trailers. Can you think about getting them out of a tapered hopper trailer??? I bet that the dispatcher's phone will be lit up Monday morning. LOL
