    I would like to find out from anyone about pulling a hopper bottom around the midwest out of Indiana.
    Does anyone know how to calculate how they pay the hopper bottom? Is it by weight?
    Thanks for the help!!!!

    Depends on the company.
    1). Set rate per load.
    2). Percentage of gross revenue.
    3). By weight or bushel.
    4). By the hour.

    Nobody but the company you're looking at could possibly know the correct answer to this particular question. Make a phone call.

    Everything I have ever done is by the bushel, the hundred weight, or the ton. Always heavy and behind schedule

    And always running on fumes, because you want to save your gross weight for product.
