Im getting real tired of shippers wanting washouts even after hauling a load of corn and and spending upwards of $100.00 for a washout (5 minute spayout with a garden hose) and shippers not willing to compensate for this expense. This is crazy money for these wasouts expecially when I can washout a livestock trailer that takes an hour or better and a hell of a lot of water for the same price.
