A tractor-trailer hauling 38,000 pounds of raw Tyson chicken caught fire early Friday morning on Interstate 40, blocking all the interstate's westbound lanes for a time, according to the Ozark Fire Department.
Fire Chief Nick Trotter said the driver was able to disconnect the tractor from the trailer and was not injured. No other injuries were reported either.
The department responded to the call just after 3 a.m. near exit 37 on westbound I-40 in Franklin County, Trotter said. The driver told firefighters he had seen sparks coming from the back of the trailer and then the tires caught fire.

So the driver didn’t do a pretrial and notice the oil coming out of the hubs.....that is what causes tires to catch fire. The hub had no oil because of a break in the seal, and it ignited.

So where does one (legally) put over 19 TONS of dirty bird chicken? Do they distribute it over several industrial sized incinerators? You can’t just bury it. The eventual stench and soil-erosion would cause another Bio-Hazard. Too costly to ship it anywhere, besides China wouldn’t even want it.
