Q: One of the odd products that Local 79 freight drivers hauled in the late 1930s and early 1940s was canned rattlesnake meat.  What was the one main problem that kept the company from keeping up with demand?

A. Rattlesnakes were harvested in such great numbers that they actually became scarce in Hillsborough County and the Tampa Bay area.  

B. Local 79 discouraged its members freight companies from hauling the canned product as live snakes were kept on the property and two of our members were bitten.

C. Those that caught the snakes were drafted into the US armed forces and could no longer go out and catch the snakes.

D. The company went out of business when the owner died of a rattle snake bite.
