Long ago, the chicken-gut-offal trucks traveled with open tops- riding on the back of the motorcycle of my boyhood friend (artist,musician and aviator extraordinaire Wolf Grulkey) I have been bathed in the spray. A better story, though, is the motorcyclist who slid out on Leatherwood Hill on some spilled chicken plant waste from an unseen truck. When he picked himself up, he saw that he was covered in shredded viscera, and fainted dead away. No danger of this happening nowadays, as all the floor sweepings and runoff become Nuggets.

And where are any of the pictures of wrecker crew and trucks.If it were not for them the truck would still be there no doubt.And as far as having to empty the feed from the truck there was not a choice in that matter.Due to saftey of all people there pulling up all that extra weight, the cables could have broke, went flying and someone would have been hurt.Second reason the feed truck would have twisted and bent along with trailer,which would cause problems towing it out of there.Third why would they want to cause the owner more cost in the end.SAG TOWING does not try to purposly tear up a customers property if at all possible.Forth possible damage to wreckers.
