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.

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
