Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

I've got half a load of bobcats to run up to Chicago. I'm just grabbing something to bring back and that's it for the week as far as I know. Might head back out Friday though.

 

Working on couple days of soy meal for Tuesday/Wednesday.

Does anyone know if soy meal is heavy enough to use a standard size hopper and get 24t on? If so, can put another truck on it.

 

If you mean 66 inch side hoppers with standard hoppers,you'll probably be fine at 24T BBB,as long as they don't have the high-clearance hoppers. Watch your axle weights though.What size are your trailers? What's your tare weight?

 

24 tons will be easy squeasy lemon peasy. We can get 28 ton on ours without too many problems.

 

Thanks, that is great news.

We have one 78" side and two 66" with standard hoppers.

The buyer said he had never heard of any issues on his end but he doesn't normally work with the trucking side.

Now I just hope they accept my rate and some sleaze ball doesn't call with some "fuel money" rate.

 

easy squeasy lemon peasy,my grand mother used to say that all the time,been a while since i heard it though. You staying busy?

 

But it's a ''backhaul'',ain't it?

 

BTW, Dairyman, it's a no go on using a weaker dilution. I tried 12:1 and noticed a reduction in performance.

 

Yep highside,my curiosity got the best of me so i tried it at 15:1 and it really fell back.I'm actually mixing it at 8:1 and it REALLY does a number on the grime,and since i'm a ''1 truck show'' that is actually where i'm gona stay with it. Thanks again for the info,i love the stuff.
