    Just so you know you can make as much pulling your hopper as a flat.

    I don't run my hoppers commercialy. Farm use only. And no. On an average day you'll get 3 maybe 4 or 5 loads to ethanol plant daily. Not uncommon to see 40 trucks deep at the plants

    Can you get in and out?? Absolutely. Very inconsistent though. And I'm not going to trash out my clean Wilsons...never been in salt and I plan to keep it that way. Original post said flatbed, that's what I wanted help with...don't want to help then move on to the next thread, thanks though

    Flatbed has always been a dream of mine, and I now have the chance to pursue it, so I will. I have no girlfriend, wife, or kids. Money is not really an issue. Seems like a perfect combination. Just a little green when it comes to starting up the business. Thanks! Drive safe...

    Also bti would probably work if you lived here in Kansas I could recommend atleast three places that wouldn't have a problem with you taking time off to take care of your farm
