A lot of places even want 3 prior loads without animal by-products. -Manure or litter is similar to the animal by-products where at least a washout is required before hauling feed ingredients. -Certain fertilizers -Aggregates can be a tricky one, certain aggregates like lime and gypsum usually don't require a washout, but some places don't want aggregates to be a prior load. - Scrap or shredded metal or aluminum - Tires

If your not sure I'd call before you load and make sure your good, don't want to have to buy out the load

Best thing is if hauling feed loads try only hauling feed . The certified washout alot of places require doesn't exist ! Also at times you need to travel 50 miles or more to find a wash out , wait in line for hours & pay up to $100 for a half ass wash out .

If you receive a receipt from a hopper washout it's considered a certified washout, the Beacon in Minot ND is one of only two in the entire country that will washout hoppers, can't remember where the other one is.
