Training to be a Truck Broker currently, mainly moving produce and meat around the country. This first one isn't really scary, but it's funny (especially considering it's from the Arkansas/S. Carolina area): I've been shipping chicken from Arkansas to S. Carolina, and then loading the truck up with identical chicken product to head to Arkansas. Now these two are the scary ones: first, I've been seeing oranges shipped from Florida to California, where they are repackaged and shipped back to Florida as California product. Second, did you know that eggs you buy in the grocery store can sit for up to five years before they are sold, and if they aren't sold they are sent to a cracker and stored in 5 gallon tubs where they can be stored indefinitely, essentially (these tubs of old eggs are what are bought buy companies like Sara Lee to make their cakes)?
Cliffs:
- products are being shipped to areas that don't need it for the sake of creating money.
- produce labels (and probably other things) can be totally misleading.
- I'm afraid to eat eggs now (which is sad because I loves me some eggs).
