    You can also move product with your blower, but it's time consuming.

    That's only works best when you first get loaded. Once you have driven any distance at all, the product packs down and it will be next to impossible to shift it like that. The only option left then is to use your blower which is time consuming or you can open your bottom drops and let some product fall on the ground, but I think the scale house may frown on that just a little bit Lol:biggrin_255:

    This is true to a degree. The type of product you're hauling plays a part as well.

    True as well...I mainly haul sand, clay and limestone and that stuff is hard to move once you have driven a ways especially sand. It will settle and compact thus making hard to move.

    I can only comment on Food Products. Never hauled Non Food grade. But In Food, as far as my personal experience, soy flour is the worst. That stuff is so fine you blow a hole through it instead of getting it off or moving it.

    Anybody have the scoop on Sandpro Trucking LLC in Alice, TX? They seem ok, but just want some opinions.

    I know Sandpro was having some problems earlier this year but seem to be doing better now.
