What kind of money are you talking and what is involved with grain hauling? I am used to LTL freight and hazardous chemicals, waste, and plastic resin...
Moving to Missouri soon, looking for info on good companies there

All depends on who you sign on with but I personally cleared 57 a year after taxed working for a small O/O here in michigan.. as far as the work thats involved depends on who is loading you.. some placed will turn on all the legs of the elevator for you and other small farmers may have you do all the loading ur self.. seems confusing at first but once you get the hang of things its pretty easy work.. lots of in and out of the truck but if you have done LTL then that is nothing new.. you will have to climb some days tho.. might be just climbing up the trailer or to the top of a bin to see how much is left.. personally i loved it.. plenty of physical work to keep you feeling good and grain haulers tend to stick togeather witch can be helpful if you ever get in a bind or need any kind of help
WickedGoat Thanks this. -
Thanks for the info... I will look into it as I search. Walmart has a DC about 40 mins north of Lebanon so I may put in an app and see what happens... I know it is tough to get in there and finding out accurate info about them is tough, but we will see...

I know this is an old Forum but. Indeed Hopper Bottom Drivers most of the time 9/10 help each other out. The fast you get unloaded the faster the person behind you gets unloaded. Stick with a hopper and don't change it up even a same one year and everything can change in weight and how fast stuff slides out. Been Looking for Hopper outfit for about 2 months now in Illinois and Cant find anything OTR home weekends and during the week would be great have end dump shortbed Framed and frameless experience Local only though so ya. If you find nice Owner op or company to drive for you can easily hit 60k a year if you bust you chops. 50 I would say if you don't.
