Hennepin, IL | Used to see that when I was a kid here. Loads of grain would come in on spread axle flatbeds with sides. They'd dump grain at one of the 2 river terminals that had a hoist, roll the tarp, pull one of the sides and bows off and haul coils of steel out of the mill. Sometimes there would be some unfinished coils come in on trucks too. My dad was friends with a guy that worked at one of the terminals. He claimed a guy pulled in to dump a load of beans one time. Only after they hoisted him up and the beans came out they found out he also had 2 coils chained to the trailer. With it in the air. He was maybe not so politely asked to not come back. | |
