Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Perdue in chesapeake is really sucking today. I got here bright and early at 7:30 and been sitting ever since. they took my sample half hour ago, said it takes an HOUR to test.

I was supposed to be done and over for the day at home by around 4pm. Now I'll be lucky to make my next delivery by 9pm.

 

I got loaded with some steel beams this morning, took a while. Weighed in at 32,340lbs. Loaded 7 bundles at 6,624lbs each. Weighed out at 80,340lbs. So now I'm still sitting here waiting to take a bundle off.

 

for 300 lbs? crap, you'll burn that much fuel off waiting

that's less then 40 gallons of fuel. throw out your trash, go take a crap and run on down the road... lmfao

 

Add up the load weight.

 

Took one off and finally got out of there. Now I get to run all the way to the jersey line. Ugh.

 

There's a farmer I haul for near here that has probably 15 bins of various sizes and empties most of them with a vac, works great. Its a REM, can't remember what model number, but if you can park it right beside the bin and don't have to use much tubing, it will load a semi in 15 minutes. That's faster than most farm augers I've loaded out of. When it gets down to cleaning out the bins, there's no dust in the air, it sucks it out. Only bad thing is you have to remember your ear plugs, that thing is LOUD!
