Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

yeah and then getting some people to pay you for the freight is even harder its not my fault if your corn didnt pass

I've run into the problem with bugs in corn if its a friday or it is slow I'll just fumigate on the truck and their bin as well to try and solve it for later and I have no choice but to charge for hauling it back

I have had to charge people rent on the trailer when I could have been going and a load ties me up they dont like that either but you really have no choice

usually they like this option as opposed to delivery at a lower price elsewhere

 

Might as well go enjoy the fair if you don't have anything else going on.

Heard from the radiator shop today, he finally got around to testing the air to air and said the thing was leaking from almost every tube so he couldn't fix it. He's got a new one on the way, will be here Monday, freight and everything is just shy of $900- ouch. Maybe that's best anyway, at least this way we'll know its good. Can't wait to see what kind of improvement in MPG there is if it was leaking that bad, surely something.

 

They do that here for home owners, good people good risk, and have a hard time getting insurance.

The last year I had my insurance agency they just released the computer modeling to predict hurricanes and wind storms. Canceled about 1000 policies on me because the computer said there was going to be a storm. Still hasn't happened there after 12 years. With the losses in the southern states and western fires, they will do anything legal to raise rates to recover their reserves.

 

Insurance companies are the root of all evil!

 

I thought Lawyers were?

 

What are you paying now? I use PJC out of Springfield, MO which is an agent for Northland and they insure a lot of bulk haulers. I got a a quote of $3400 a year and that was for the following for a 300 mile radius.

1 Million Liabilty
$25,000 Cargo
$80,000 Physical Damage on my 07' Pete
$30,000 Phyiscal Damage on trailer
