Meatloaf for the Entire Firehouse

Beth had to make dinner for the enitre volunteer fire brigade, and it was a success.  In case she ever has to do this again, or one of us starts a catering business, I wanted to preserve her lessons learned in the Cloud.  Here is her report:

Just in case you ever need to cook 25 lbs of meatloaf...........
Was able to fit four of the 5lb ea meatloaves in my oven at once. Jacked up the heat to 375, I usually do 350. Put them in at 12:45 and by 3 a couple were done. I did rotate them one hour in. The loaves that started on the bottom were ready first. Then had time to put the fifth one in the oven.

Didn't want to use inlaws oven as they are all sick as dogs with stomach flu.
We let them rest a bit covered in foil and then sliced them and put them in the big roasters the fire house has and kept them nice and warm and not too dry.
What would I do different? Probably use more eggs to make more moist. That is about it!
