Spent over 20 years doing it.

It wasn’t me, I’m retired. It was hard work and potentially dangerous hazardous health wise. Knew a few guys that got seriously sick.
Egg farms, Switchyards, grain processors, meat packers, poultry farms, and now fuel distribution.
Biden strikes again!
Thanks for the explanation. You learn something new every day on FR!
