Remember those days? The old Fareway store still had the rail in the meat department.
Those beef lugers must have earned the pay.

A half of beef weighs from 350, to 500 pounds.
Truckers didn't like to haul swinging beef, unstable load.

Truckers didn't like to haul swinging beef, unstable load. When I first started billing trucks for Wilson, I had to find the load sheets for one of our loads that got to swinging and wound up killing the driver (I think somewhere in Ohio). It had been shipped just before I started. The tractor was in bad enough shape that it wasn't until some time later that they discovered that he had apparently picked up a hitchhiker.

A few years ago there was a truckload of hanging pork halves that tipped over. They condemned the whole load and contacted the local rendering company where my wife's friend headed up the office.
All the halves that weren't near the truck doors were still frozen solid. That lady slipped them under the back door while the soft /thawed ones went on the pile.
Supplemented her income a little.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.
