So my neighbor calls me this morning and said hey, you got freezer room? I said not too much why. He said for 30, 30lb cases of chicken fajitas.
WOWSERS, HOLY CARP BATMAN ;D
This is 12 of the 30 cases we got today, the rest tomorrow. I'm thinkin chicken fajita sticks. EH ;D
We also got 2 cases of cubed sweet potato.
9 showing, 3 on the tail gate.

He said this is more of what they had to throw out or give to someone. I said why not donate it to a shelter, he said they cant.
Holy Chicken COOP Nepas!!!!

You're gonna need a truckload of tortillas!

Why can't I ever score free stuff. :'(

Wow, I would have trouble using up one case, let alone 30. Another great score. :)
That looks like the setup for a 'Dinner Impossible' episode...
LOL nepa. All hail the "Chicken Man". That is a score of all scores buddy.
Rick,
That's nearly half a ton of chicken! Exactly how big of a freezer do you have? What a score. You're going to sound like Bubba on Forrest Gump "fajita gumbo, fajita scampi, fajita jambalaya, lemon fajita, BBQ fajita, .......oh yeah and just plain old chicken fajitas". ;) :D
Larry

Atomic fajita turds..
Send a box to CRG, he needs something to wrap in bacon tomorrow!
Well the chicken went to family. Me and my neighbor only kept 8 cases between us. It almost sounds like we may be getting 10 cases of beef fajita too.
Like Ky said, GUUUUUUUMP
nepas
I still dont under stand why they cant give stuff like this to the needy.
Here in Neb. we can give our deer to the needy if we dont want it, you have to go through the proper channels of course.
What a haul Nepas!
Getting that time for an extra freezer ;)
Carolyn
Wow! That is a great score.
Just a thought, if he can't donate it directly to a shelter, couldn't you take all of it and keep what you need and then donate the rest to the local shelters, churches and food banks. Of course this would take some planning ahead of time, you don't want 10 cases of food rotting in your back yard. :)
I had to laugh after seeing this! ;D You need a another neighbor that sells appliances!! :D :D
Ole
Nice haul!
I have several retired truck drivers in my family. A couple of them hauled food - mostly produce. Due to health regulations in the various states, when drivers deliver their merchandise, if even one item within a case, i.e. case of bananas is bad, then the whole case is generally rejected. Technically it should be trashed but the truck driver many times can keep the reject. Many times the truckers keep some and give the rest to family and friends.
A few years ago, our County's fire departments scored a full semi-load (I think...may have only been a half) of chicken pieces through the process Wildcat stated. Driver couldn't use it so he took it to local refrigeration place and told the Chief in the County Seat town it was all theirs. Dad and I also got a couple of cases of sliced pepperoni from one of our customers once.
That's part of the reason I want to go truck driving for a while, but don't want to make a career out of it. Just do it for a while and see a lot of the country on somebody else's dime. I know it ain't that easy, but that's what I'd like to do.
I understand what you are saying Tiny. Here is something to consider - My Dad is a retired driver with over 35 years on the road. I drove for about 8 months. When you drive for a living the bosses do not allow for time to see the sights. Most of your driving will be interstate. Time is money in the truck driving industry. If the truck is not rolling, then it is not making money. Hard to see the country from the interstate. On the interstate you can see wide open flat land, mountains (with and without trees), rolling hills, desert, snow, rain, ice, and A LOT OF STUPID IDIOTS THAT SEEM TO BE TRYING TO GET YOU KILLED.
Yeah i know, i would have liked to donate it. I talked to the lead man of the cafeteria and he said because its GOV bought USDA food its either give it to employees or trash it. To much legal GOV red tape mumbo jumbo to go through.

I'll second that Wildcat. Their is nothing glamourous about life on the highway. Every load was supposed to be there yesterday and no matter how fast you get there you were late or your an asshole. And somplaces if you are late they send you away and say make a new appointment, which could be a couple of days away. So then you have too make arrangements for someone else to deliver it because if you don't you will be late for your next delivery and then the guy who delivers your miss appointment gets a cut of your profits. God I miss life on the hiways.
