Overload of the Day

[stinky64]

My broke trailer story was particularly nasty. Hot summer, overloaded 40' end dump low sided rendering trailer, broke down along the highway with a cloud of flies around it. They jacked and welded it that night and it was gone the next day.

Dealt with some nasty crap on WM maggot wagons, but them rendering wagons are a whole nother realm of FUNK.

Yes and you know if the thing is broken where all the juices are going to run, right to where you're going to sit and weld.

Just be glad it wasn't human remains.

There seems to be plenty of space between the tires and the trailer which could mean the airbags aren't deflated which should mean the frame would be pointed down in the front if it was a legit picture.

Funny story( for us), friend was involved in the fish business on and off for years. He had a truck that hauled fish offal to the rendering plant across the border. Customs had a new person who just had to look inside the lid of the tank even though she was told not to. There was a little wave still moving inside the tank and you can guess what happened when she opened the lid….

When I lived in Ellensburg---A guy I knew bought a radiator shop that also had another
business tied to it--the only septic pumper in town & county. Came with all the state
contracts for pumping rest areas. Anywho the trucks were old 60's GMC's with vacuum
pumps. The old owners showed him the operation of loading and pumping off at the
local county crap pond. The first didn't go so swell, he and his helper were trying to
unload and it wasn't discharging, so for some reason he was fiddling with discharge
hose when his helper found the right combination on the valves-------hose bucked
around and covered him in crap and white mice!. The Creature From the Brown Lagoon.

Septic trucks and a oilfield water truck is basically the same thing, luckily when I covered myself with fluid most of the time it was saltwater and a few times oil. It was always a stupid mistake and avoidable.

Been there, done that…..34 yrs in water and waste water, been part of lots of mistakes, both above and below the bowl, mostly just the cleanup end but still, it takes a strong stomach sometimes.

Got behind a maggot wagon one day decades ago.....90○+ day. Pulled over and barfed my guts out.

90 degrees with an overnight rain and 15 tons of residential garbage that couldn't offload day before because of breakdown is the secret recipe for maggot wagon magic. Walk out to the truck in the morning and it looks alive from all the wiggly rice squirming around, can't even see out windshield and don't even think of turning wipers on. Then to sweeten the mix add an entire flock of sparrows swarming the truck for the maggot smorgasbord while sitting in line at landfill. Priceless....
