It would be nice to know the company that sent you an empty barrel so we don't buy from them. I hate supporting crappy companies.

@tony52398 Жыл бұрын

I’m new to the community, but don’t be quick to blame the whiskey producer that shipped the barrels. My previous job included responding to trucking spills. All sorts of stuff winds up leaking in the backs of trucks and major trucking company’s hire third parties to respond (that’s what I did). If they say you have a leaking drum or barrel then those response companies are going to show up with those big yellow overpack barrels to contain the leak. The distiller might not even have known about it.

@tony52398 Жыл бұрын

Ok. Ever mind. I thought you were referencing the first barrel that broke in transit and wound up in the yellow overpack. Not the one at the end that was empty

That plastic barrel is for spills. Ethanol is a hazmat therefore the containers that carry hazmat are considered "Hazmat" even when "Empty". Surprised you still received it. Not supposed to pick it up for delivery if leaking, so it happened in transit. You can reject it and the shipping company eats the cost of replacement. Or keep it, your call.

@jamesbohling4864 Жыл бұрын

Yep. Leaking barrels would typically be rejected

@jasonGreenVw Жыл бұрын

I work for one of the big shipping companys and the policy is usually to return it to the company of origin in a plastic container if found leaking in transit.

@zchats Жыл бұрын

@@jasonGreenVw I actually work for Averitt, the shipping company. 2 main points, I can confirm we (nor most carriers) would not pick it up if leaking...if we damaged it, we would not put it in a plastic drum and deliver it. It likely came from an area outside of our coverage area and it was another carrier that gave it to us for the "final mile". BOL states 8 barrels, technically that's 8 barrels. I agree with @Bryan-fb8dh , should have done a partial refusal for damage. Don't have to deny the entire load.

Breana carrying those bags reminded me of working in a factory when I was younger. We had to carry 50 pound bags of carbon black up a flight of stairs to a mezzanine. There were three of us, one of whom was a college football lineman. Two of us would throw a bag over a shoulder and walk up the stairs. The lineman would pin a bag under each armpit and carry a bag in each hand. 200 pounds, walking up a flight of stairs.

Regarding barrels, I would definitely recommend at least a day trip to a winery and getting a tour of their barrel storage or cellar. Heck if you can negotiate time with the winemakers and cellar crew regarding their barrel protocols, and investing in some barrel racks. Rather than transporting naked barrels, it would also be a good idea to have them loaded on transport racks as part of the contract to reduce the chances of damage and ease loading/unloading.
