    The stupid part is what is the delay in Canada to refill them?

    I see container on trains everyday I haul grain....they have to be taken of the vessel and put on a train and unloaded and then the procedure reverses.....somewhere in there there should be an opportunity to stuff a container in less than an hour and get it back to China. ..

    Answer that riddle and you have an answer for solving the problem.

      When you deliver to the elevator where do they get cleaned for export? Do prairie high through puts clean them or are the most cleaned at port? In land terminals should have been licensed as terminals and had to follow terminal rules. They can and do the same work. Another screw up. IMHO.

        My local will clean cereals...wheat and durum....everything else just gets loaded....


        Sort of odd because they buy lentils and you can do a good job of cleaning them at the same settings as wheat...

          Think they are scared of splits but I wonder how many are shipped with dockage in. Cleaned at end user the dockage would be very valuable for feed in those countries.
