When ever I run my route into Evesham I always see at least 4 or 5 of these lorries.
Plain white units with no sign writing pulling curtainsiders with the curtains ■■■■■■■ round the back and loaded with orange crates. I see them normally on the a45,m40, a46 and a44.
Just wondered what they are carrying and who the might be.
At first I thought they were just empty crates but they don’t half slow up on the hills
They carry live chickens mate, Cargills I think
I think that’s placenda or whatever they’re called from brackley

Faccenda
I used to go into the Faccenda plant (cranberry) Abergavenny, regularly. The chap there told me that the birds were killed elsewhere and brought in dead in the cages for processing. Wonder if it could be those.

That’s it. I had a mate that worked there. He called it placenta as it stinks like afterbirth haha
Sat behind another one one way back yesterday near snitterfield and noticed all the feathers blowing off of it.
Well that’s that one sorted. Cheers lads

Crates of placenta - what a delightful thought!.. 
I was on the pumps next one a couple of months back and couldn’t believe the amount of heat they kick out. You could feel it radiating across the forecourt.

The truck or the birds?
The birds.
Stunk to high heaven as well.
Farmyard smells don’t normally affect me but this could have made a maggot gag.
1994 when we were all made redundant from Federal Express, I applied for a job at Faccenda because it was fairly close to home and they seemed to have well kept vehicles … Big mistake ! The first day I was told to start at 08.00 and would have a load to take to Sainsbury’s, I waited 6 hours for my load and was expected to repair pallets. I delivered the frozen chickens, drove back to Brackley and went home. Next day as they could see I was not happy they gave me the same run with a brand new FH12 and a triaxle reefer, I got into an argument with Sainsbury’s when they expected me to go inside their chilled warehouse and sort the various chicken sizes on to different pallets. I got back to Brackley and fueled up, I didn’t know where to get red diesel and went into the supervisors office to ask ? he was watching a World cup match and told me not to interrupt him… I did not say a word, I left the truck at the fuel pump and went home, I never returned, the next day I went to sign on at the unemployment office and was told my redundancy pay was too high to claim so I walked across the street to a travel agents and booked a trip to Morocco an Fuertaventura for 3 weeks, then went back to show them how my bank balance had dropped 
Damm Faccenda, they treat drivers like animals 
Didn’t someone on here work for Faccenda outta Brackley, with tales of waiting for The ■■■■■■ Squad (or was it catch team ) to arrive and chasing thousands of bleeding chickens around?
