Where is everyone?

You running a hopper bottom or an end dump??? I hated running dump in the winter. Used to haul salt from the Port of IN to the DOT sheds all over IN. You wouldn't think road salt would freeze but it does. Nothing like having a 40' dump all the way up in the air with 15T of salt stuck in the nose and gusty winds :O

 

Wilson hopper bottom. Only problem I have is the roll tarp being froze after snow or sleet.

I can imagine an end dump with frozen product could get a little tricky.

 

Not really, just missing flats but I picked up another part time job dispatching

 

ehh i thought about just throwing some dish soap all over the truck and u would of woke up to a nice clean truck with all the rain but i guess i just aint that ambitious that early in the am haha

 

I used to haul out of the port too. Nothing like driving a tri-axle all the way to Chicago and back everyday for two weeks, then to all the DOT sheds forever after.

 

Indianapolis at our terminal. Going to try to get this off and reloaded and out of Des Moines tomorrow and hopfully far away from that storm!

 

Dodging the scales was always the fun part, as the loader at the port had no idea how to gauge if he was putting on 20T or 28T

 

Well got delivered today in Hastings FL, bounced up to the port in Brunswick GA picked up 2 tractors and sitting in FT. Payne AL waiting till the am to kick the first one off. Then off to Princeton KY to kick the second one off.

 

One of our hoppers is that same set up.

During harvest we will ocassionally spot a trailer in the field and let the farmer fill it with the combine. We give very specific instructions on loading it but sometimes the scale ticket can get a little scary.
