Did he haul out of the field? That's where some good people are, the farmers. I haul out of the field for some farmers, been doing it for 14 years for them.
Course they can get a little testy. If the weather gets bad or the lines are long at the elevator. BHW you could probably do it again seems always need trucks.

We can't do that now, because he's pretty much dedicated on a route now. Though it would be nice to break up his routine. -
Yes, If you haul for farmers some will do about anything for you. In my case they help me sometimes with minor truck repairs. I also park my truck on their land.

so how hard are these hoppers to unload in the Winter.say 0-20 degs? seem's like it would all freeze and become a solid..with a dump you can pull forward and bang the gate if you have to.seems like a real pita in a hopper. Thanks Walt

But loading in the spring, during rainy season is WORSE. It really sticks then. And most places that load my husband will leave some part of the trailer sticking out in the weather. We learned, wait out the rain, and don't load or even roll that tarp open.PharmPhail Thanks this. -
If it is grain no problem. I've hauled grain when temperature was is single digits. If you haul what Pharm does it could possibly freeze. I never had it happen but if rock is put in wet and it's very cold, it supposedly can freeze.
PharmPhail Thanks this. -
