Well ladies and gents...in case you are wondering if those companies are looking out for you and your health...I thought I would let you in on a little something that happened today. We picked up a load of packaged beef in Texas and brought it to Nebraska (which is odd because we normally haul meat out of Nebraska) ANYWAYS....When we left they put a combination lock on the back. This has never happened before (well, to me) and I am thinking to myself...gee this is a little odd. ANYWAYS...I ask the guy about it...and he says that the meat is not done being tested yet, and that when they get the lab results they call us with the combination, then we can have the truck unloaded. Just so you know...we always have a lock on our loads, that we put on ourselves, to help protect the load (it's a pretty intense lock). So we run this meat load up to Nebraska, no call yet. We get to the receiver, no call yet. We talk to the receiver, call the guy back...yeah the tests will be back soon. We are just sitting at the dock. Waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Now what is wise of this company is that this is a combination lock. Not just a silly piece of plastic that we can rip off. Even the receiver guy said he was tempted to take it off. Short story long...we were sitting at the receiver ALMOST as long as it took to drive before they would release this combination. They ran the meat through extra testing...and wanted you the consumer to be SAFE. So eat up America...those burgers are E. Coli free!!!! ((side note this is a special attempt to make you more aware of our silly daily lives, if you have suggestions please feel free to email them to me.)) Kiss Kiss, Terrilynn
