Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

WoW
In HH/OD if I'm within 500lb on a axel the coop master is ok with it.As long as my total weight is correct or under what's on the permit.
I can load the same type machine and if I move it 3" on the deck it will scale different on the axels. None of the cat scales are set up for OW/OD and 8-10 axles

 

I'm always close to 80K, sometimes a little on the other side of 80K. Its more a matter of honesty, since you're selling someone's crop with the weights. With corn at $4.00 a bushel, I'm worth about $18.50. With beans at $10.00 a bushel, I'm worth about $43.00.

I haul out of the same few elevators mostly, and I load myself 99% of the time. If its not right, only one person to blame that way.

We had some snow last night, an inch at the most, but brought the corn shelling to a halt temporarily. Some guys got going this afternoon, but not many. Sounds like the weather is going to get interesting tomorrow, I'm hoping most of it stays north.

 

Called it a day already. Took me two hours from Wichita to Newton. Enough is enough I went back home.

Just throwing this out there. If any of you guys have the ability to move Frack Tanks I know of a small job a cousin of mine is needing some help on. 8 Tanks from Pratt to Great Bend. No idea what he wants to pay (knowing him its cheap lol), or any of the other details. I would "assume" the tanks are destined for the scrap yard... PM me for a name and number if this is up your alley.

 

Raining here right now, could change to snow later. Then nasty wind and cold tomorrow. Nobody that I know of is in the field right now, feel sorry for what corn is left out there, the snow/wind combo could really be bad. Doesn't sound like we're going to be hauling much the next couple days, not that I mind considering the weather.

Kansas, just out of curiosity, what are Frack tanks?

 

I had a guage in my dash on a 96 pete made by Rite Weigh (I think they changed the name) anyway mine was $69+ installation. It showed the weight on the drives in 500# increments. I weighed a couple of times on CAT scale, the thing was right on. Kept the truck almost 5 yrs and the gauge was accurate the day I sold it. It's a good investment and a great Christmas gift. Try googling Rite Weigh. I'm sure they are more now than what I paid and I believe you can get one that's digital.
