Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Probably was Nebraska, they can run the three axles up there. They have different weight laws. Third axle doesn't do much good in Kansas.

 

Kansas has something similar for end dumps. They don't enforce the bridge law if you are hauling material that the state uses. Rock or whatever for road work or highway construction. A person can haul to contractor if they are building a road. They can still get you for being over on gross weight.

At least that's what it used to be. I haven't run a end dump in a long time.

 

Anybody been down in Oklahoma recently? Was wondering how far north in Oklahoma the wheat harvest was. Here in SC Kansas the wheat is turning color but not a lot. I have heard the Texas harvest was not good, supposedly oklahoma isn't going to be great either.

This weather keeps up won't be harvesting until end of June. Normal harvest is June 16 or so. I'm a little worried ,with Texas and Oklahoma not doing well ,there are going to be many of their trucks coming up here. A number of north & south dakota trucks come here also.

 

Thanks LDH26

I had a feeling it wasn't going to be turning much along the northern border. It's pretty green in some fields here.

 

Yes, basically. In this day and age states don't want to lose any revenue. Kansas some years back raised the motor fuel tax, mainly for road construction. That wasn't too bad they did do a lot of work on the roads.
