Today we got dispatched to pick up some Sugar and haul it to a Bakery in Kent, WA from Nampa, ID.
Simple enough right...
Wrong!!
Our trailer had to be inspected for cleanliness and then we were allowed to enter the plant only after sweeping out our trailer. Got my Cardio in for the day. Once inside, a secondary inspection took place as we are haling food grade products. They found a small hole in the upper left corner of the trailer that would allow moisture in. So they rejected our trailer. Off to call dispatch to locate a repair facility.
One located 20 miles away. 3 hours later, we are repaired, inspected, and loaded. Off to Kent, Wa over the mountains in Eastern Oregon. We didn't encounter any adverse weather other than a brief 20 min closure outside Baker City due to a hazmat spill.
Made it to Prosser, Wa for the night.
