Special Order
Special Order
For the Davenport Union Warehouse Co., no order is too small and when a wheat order came in for a single hopper carload of wheat, the crew sprang into action. Since the variety of wheat ordered was in a facility across from the tracks, a company truck was used to transfer the required bushels to the car loader. It took ten trips and involved 5 people to do this; a loader, a truck driver, elevator unloader, hopper car loader and a supervisior.
