hopper bottom rates

Yeah, corn is 56lbs per bushel you can haul 49,000. (For example)

49,000lbs divided by 56lbs is 875 bushels times .90 equals $787.50.

 

Ton bushel all pays by weight. Don't get hung up on that 56lbs/bu on corn. I've seen 54, 56, etc. Keep your scale tickets they'll give you the test weight moisture etc. More bushel more money but you'll be a DOT magnet and you'll also be time stamped everywhere you go keep that in mind the log needs to match the stamp carry a copier and white out when in doubt.

 

bushel weight is set corn is 56 lbs a bushel anything less your getting ripped off. It is not your fault the quality of corn you get paid by the weight you haul not the dockage weight
