Apparently this is what separates a common hauler that delivers to "feed mills" from a custom hauler that delivers to a premium petfood facility that is an AIB operating plant. The truck hauling each incoming load must first certify what it's previous load was, ie: edible grain, other non bovine food grade waste, etc. A wash tag is required for any trailer that has hauled anything that was not an edible grain. If you've hauled Construction debris, garbage, scrap metal, toxic materials etc. you're rejected before you can roll your rag back. No attitudes that's the rules. Then the load is inspected for infestation and contamination and tested for micotoxins, moisture, protein levels and if required predictive values. If everything flys you will be unloaded, That's also the rules no attitude involved. Our broker makes it very clear to suppliers what is required to deliver to us, if they don't contract a carrier that will comply, it's their fault. We pay premium prices to get premium ingredients. The majority of the time we get haulers that care and we work well with them, but on occasion we get a real "winner". I had a truck load come in one night and my bulk receiver called me out to look. I sorted out almost 100 lbs of scrap metal that was laying on our pit grate, another 1/2 dozen pieces of scrap out of our metal detection catch and I noted several more pieces still in the truck, this was all buried in the bottom and wasn't seen until offloading commenced. The guy that signed off as having done a pre-loading inspection of the trailer I imagine was in hot water and the driver was also in hot water for having lied on the certification form all drivers are required to sign before we touch the truck. Once our broker got done with the driver's dispatcher he ended up waiting while we reloaded his load back on him and the driver ended up "eating" the load. His response? 'it's only dogfood'. That's an attitude.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
