Anybody here haul fertilizer?

You will need a commercial applicators license to apply fertilizer.

Be prepared to be bored. You get to sit in a truck on the side of the road while the floater is in the field.

 

are you talking dry or liquid fertilizer ? I've done a fair bit of both, it was a good gig, some of the stuff smells kind of funny. I had to haul 28% nitrogen in a tanker without baffles for awhile, if you do that try to fill it as close to the top as you can or it will whack you in the back of the head everytime you brake !

hauling out to the applicaters is pretty gravy, when I did it, it seemed like he'd get about three fills off of a semi tanker, but I don't know the volumes you are dealing with. If you do the supply side, hauling from distributers to your plant that can get kind of boring, on that 28% I would haul 4 loads per day for about a month, but about the time I'd get so sick of one thing, the season would change and it would be on to the next. Other thing I remember is getting slloooowwww in the winter, better stack your cheese up in the spring and fall.

 

probably gonna need your hazmat, if you dont already have it

 

No, you don't need hazmat to carry most fertilizer. Ammonium nitrate, yeah. But not most normally applied.

 

you will not need hazmzt just to haul dry fertilizer. I work for a type og company you described, per hour, over time after 44 hours, and home every night, and no Sundays
