Any info would help.

i drove for a company that had steel sided trailers with grain traps down the middle.
a lot of scooping after the traps were open. the best part was when i was sent to cargil with a trailer dump.

Never thought of doing this. I'm in Murphysboro (extreme Southern Illinois). Got my CDL last month and have been out with a trainer with a national OTR company, and I'm already beginning to feel that the OTR lifestyle is just not for me. This grain hauling sounds like an interesting alternative. Cn anyone suggest companies in my area that might be willing to give a newbie a chance??
