The container driver maneuvers into the best place for unloading as well as letting traffic continue. We were very thankful for police help. At the left you can see where one lane traffic splits into two lanes.


The seal on the load was intact. This container is insulated and refrigerated for hauling bananas to the US. From Nicaragua or El Salvador, the loaded container goes to Port Barrios in northern Guatemala and is loaded on a boat. The boat takes it to Gulfport or Biloxi, MS. It goes by truck to any of dozens of receiving facilities where the bananas finish ripening and are further distributed to stores. Unless the shipper finds a backhaul like this load, the container makes the reverse trip empty.


Tomorrow you can see what it looked like when the doors were opened.


God bless you, Ralph
