    I just won't pull meal in my hopper for the simple fact it doesn't seem to pay any better than hauling stuff that doesn't take hours to unload.

    I'm in it to make money. I agree hours unloading is losing money but that doesn't happen to me often. I do not haul the #### in summer or outta certain plants. I have a suction cup shaker not fixed.

    The time loss is no worse than getting in a slow ### line which happens on both sides. I hit the button to roll my rag and open my doors once a day. Doesn't matter if its corn, meal, biofoss etc.

    I don't have a shaker yet, need to get me one of those and maybe try another load see if it helps. I don't do much of the local stuff, there's a couple company's around here that have that pretty well locked down, what they don't take care of nobody wants to pay enough for it to be worth my time.

    It will pull up some porn stuff dont open it it will give your phone the clap. I have used em mounted solid down low, both sides and higher. That suction cup is still way faster. You move it any where. Start low work up. They are high though

    I don't like doing the local stuff anyway, I'd rather go down to Oklahoma and play around down there for a couple days and then home for the weekend and do it again, something a little different every once in awhile.

    What do they got coming out of there, I don't think that would break my stay west of the Missippi rule too badly.

    FWIW...When ever I take a load far east (Mi, Va, Ms, etc.) I don't get a "local/regional" load to get to my load back "west/home" anymore. Reason...every time I did the "locals" know all the "tricks" (and I do mean tricks) of sneaking around you in line, or 10 of them showing up at 3:30 a.m. when the place doesn't open till 7 a.m. So I would lose 1 1/2 days between loading and unloading between these 2 scenarios for 300-500 mile load that didn't pay anyways because the locals will haul for "breakeven numbers" so they can see their name on the door and be home every night. Then its Friday p.m. gotta wait till Monday now for load back west.
