[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 7469671, member: 127792"] My grain goes in. It's sampled in. It's segragated. I get a list of what I've got. Then I sell say 29ish t of 74/180 softs. Lorry turns up. Gets loaded with c29t of 74/180 soft from the 74/180 bin. Lorry is samples and weighed. So lorry was weighed empty and full, and sampled to check it met spec. Lorry then goes 20 miles down the road, weighed in, sampled, weighed out again. It's worse with feed grain as it's potentially a national merchant lorry delivering to a national merchant mill. Lorries leave sheeted. What do they think has happened - driver takes two suitcases of lead with him so they can claim 50kg lighter when he gets out for a Ginsters? Not a lot of money. I just resent the idea. Mill never makes a claim Vs the store. £8 a load. Scale it up to 3,000 loads a year. And what a waste of time. [/QUOTE]
