What are the companies out there that one can get on with, for this kind of work ? I currently haul pneumatic bulkers, but am thinking of a slight change to expand my horizons. Thanks.

Into DeBruce with beans today. Tomorrow, its back to the Walton bunker for me...! -
cowdoc,... rice feilds drying out any this week? how bad are the beans hurt? wheathauler,.. ever haul ddg made from milo? if so,does it flow out of hopper any better than corn ? i had a good day today,2 loads goin,,,2 loads back! why can't they all be like this? we could actually make a livin. most everyone around here finishing up with beans,all the farmers in western ky. happy with yeilds, they are switching over to corn now. DeBruce river terminal at Maceo was busy,1 pit beans,1 pit corn, corn line twice as long as beans. my dispatcher at DeBruce said they have used 60,000 gal. of propane since oct 1st. ,i guess everones corn is still wet. hope everyone has a profitable and safe week.
graymist,... try Boyd Grain if your close to southern in. one of their drivers said they were hireing,i don't know for sure. i think they are out of washington,in. -

I haul mainly grain. I haven't the dubious pleasure of hauling feed ingredients.

What would be the ideal truck specs for hauling hoppers ? I pull super b pneumatic bulkers ( 138,000 lbs gvw approx ), and our trucks are 18spd, heavy frames, 13.2 fronts & 46 rears, 475 ISX or 475 Cat, ratios of either 4.10 / 4.11 / 4.33, with set-back front axle, and wheelbase not exceeding 224". Mind you, these are essentially work trucks ( both T800s and Volvos ), and not exactly "pimped out" like some of the large cars.
Also, the 5th wheel height is 52". -
