Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Good to hear. M and the others were right, they were willing to deal with you. Doesn't always happen these days

Of course, as you said on load boards, if you hadn't sent e-mail two weeks ago saying you would buy it... Might have been different story.

Anyway, at least you have month to figure something out

 

I'm guessing he's trying to buy it himself. Trailer is expensive but for the percentage they take out you can more than make trailer payment.

I would say 5mouths was right on target about not wanting trailer. I would think Pharm should have good chance to finance it. Pawnd was right about floor plan not exactly sure what that is.

 

Ok, Thanks for info...Sounds like another victim of the inability to get credit. I remember when banks actually lent money.

 

Hauling screenings today from a wheat seed company...screenings is the not so good wheat. They use the real good wheat to sell as wheat seed.

It sounds like they are selling a bunch of seed wheat to OK and Texas...Mainly because of their bad harvest. Had that happen in 2007 here, frost killed most of wheat...They had to get seed wheat in western ks, OK, NE etc.

 

Well, finished with screeings for today, may be more this week I never know. Depends on how much wheat they go through in a week.

Usually only haul these July-Oct during the wheat season. Hauling this isn't bad...haul certified seed you have to have the trailer blown out. They are real particular when you haul certified.

Interest place to load, small building dark inside...Know you're in the right spot when you just miss hitting two poles in the shed. Being a hopper driver it takes me longer backing up. I really don't back up that much with grain. Well, I back up but don't have to jackknife it like I have to do here. Probably Pharm does on some of his loads.

 

The darkest I ever backed into was a grain flat. Finally talked them into putting a light in there so we had an idea where the auger was. The light was like a big flashlight but it helped. Like you said Pharm couldn't see hardly at all until got cab inside.

I love it when a person tells you which way to turn your wheels when you back up. I tell them to point where they want me to go. Half of them don't know which way to turn the wheels.
