to all end dump haulers...

What’d you end up getting out of Memphis @Professor No-Name ?

 

Ha! Ha!, ya jinxed me. Got cotton seed outta tiptonville tn. Managed to get almost 24 ton packed in.

 

Back to the old grind today, ground corn to go feed the heifers in south Florida

 

82 degrees at 6:30 in the morning. Tsk tsk. It’s good to see I’m not the only one roasting alive up here in KS. @Arctic_fox are you still among the living? What you been up to?

 

That’s good! I think I got like 22 ton on an end dump. And the crap wouldn’t come out even all the way up I had to brake check it back a few times to get it to slide. Originally they wanted it out the coal chute, and quickly realized that wasn’t gonna happen.

 

Oh heck fire, now that woulda been interesting. A 40 ft end dump standing straight up an nothing coming out.

 

Had that happen with a load of rock last year. Froze in the trailer. 26 tons standing up and nothing moving. Couldn't get it down fast enough lol

 

Been a brutal summer down here for sure. Ive stood a few loads up that refused to come out, definitely an eerie feeling with all that weight standing on four tires.

 

I seen a few trailers loaded with coal that froze up an laid over back in the 90's when I 1st did end dump work. We were always feeding our local power plant.

 

It can be quite worrisome at times for sure.
