The truck full of wood chips would back up, set the brakes, and get chained down. then the lift would tilt the truck and dump the contents into an auger converyor, which dumped into a standard conveyor, which filled the barn.
They burned the wood chips in a furnace to run a brown-bavari steam turbine/generator. It ran for three years until they shut down the plant, I heard the turbine went to south america.

I did a quick search and found that plant is listed here:
California Mesothelioma Exposure Sites | Asbestos Lawsuits in California
I scrolled down the list and recognized 18 places on that list that I've worked at, but some of em were duplicates of the same site under different ownership.
