Cleburne TX
Back in the late 60s early 70s I hauled beans into central=Soya in Chicago.
CREST (Ceder Rapids Steel Transit) would come in with a flatbed with sides loaded with beans. After thy dumped they would fold up the tarp, take the tailgate and sides off (the sides were 4' sections) stow them on racks under the bed. Then go over to the steel mills on the south side by the lake and get a load of steel to take back. Don't think you could find a truck driver to that today.
