Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

The new shop doesn't surprise me, when I was there, it was 2 old buildings side by side, only one of them was heated, pretty cramped place to work for as much work as they do on stuff. They didn't have a whole lot of parking space either, they're hemmed in by the RR tracks on one side, and the rest of the town.

The elevators here barely have enough hauled in to give them some hauling out for their own trucks. This coming week should be interesting though.

 

Sun shined today Wheathauler. We'll be back going Monday I'd say if the Cache goes down enough. Probably no trucking for awhile tho. They'll be buggying back to the bins. SLOWWWWW. Plus I'll have to run a driveover loader instead of driving. They did get the final drive back in the new combine. They're always messing with me about Deere being vastly superior equipment cause they know I'm kinda partial to IH for sentimental reasons. I told the youngest boss it's a good thing you didn't buy an IH cause probably all 4 would've fell off. They hadn't fired me yet so I should be OK.

 

What a week, every other elevator I hit seemed like I was getting the last load of beans, or they were already out, and I got kicked out empty lol.

 

i am a newbi to forum but have been farming or trucking for a while now,just wondering i anybody is able to get in fields in iowa,ill. or neb. here in ky. we are still really waterlogged. i have enjoyed reading all the posts .thanks in advance for weather report ,

 

I saw a lot of harvesting going on in Ne and IA this week. There's a lot of corn standing in Ill that's still green though.
