Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Get right on it , no deadheading, good paying, home at night...truckers dream come true. Local work used to be like that around here until the bottom feeders appeared.

Talked to friend today and he said rates were bad on about anything he hauled. He goes OTR mostly but said fertlizer rates were bad ...around dollar a mile. He hauls grain, DDG just about anything in a hopper. He has his own authority and equipment and contacts.

 

I just remembered found the old school dr peeper at the walmart monday. Made from imperial sugar and in glass bottles could it be? I was going to snag a six all for me maybe sometime this weekend.

 

Thanks for that info kansas, Is your week going good havent seen ya sense monday morning. I been hauling alot out of cereal foods wow what a cluster this week. There only taking wheat from 7am to 2pm and in that time john told me they were dumping close to 60 trucks a day. And only have room for half that lol. Im sick of the cluster of construction around 13th and mosely. crop jockey

 

Yeah, they started making that again in cans and bottles a couple months ago.

 

Im late lmao. Now I need to go buy some but in moderation before, I get hooked.

 

Have actually had a decent week, only Friday left to mess it all up lol. Yeah, 13th is becoming a real pain. I watched a truck turn west off of mosley onto 13th, pinned a 4 wheeler into the orange barrels. I have never seen anybody clinch a steering wheel as tightly as that woman had a hold of hers. It was a 10 minute stand-off. The 4 wheeler couldn't move, the truck couldn't back up, traffic building up every where 5pm traffic and all, it was awesome. Finally the gal got out of her car and started moving orange barrels, and throwing sand bags. I think she was trying to tell that driver he was number 1. She was highly pizzed at that big truck, and rightly so LMAOOOOOOOOOO. Oddly enough nobody honked at her, I think everybody knew she was on the edge...

 

Were they actually unloading the trucks if they didn't have the space? I believe they were closed a week, because of lack of space, a while back.

 

It sounds like you know how it actually works, big john...maybe you've got a future in hoppers yet!

 

I think this situation prompts a man to start thinking about how satisfying it would be to dump that broker's load right in the driveway of the receiver...letting the broker worry about getting it cleaned up. I get to daydreaming about that sometimes, and honestly, it gets me through the day sometimes.

 

Those guys sound like clowns Hwy, who is H&M out of NE.? I was looking at a truck this winter & when I called the previous owner, he said he was pulling a hopper for those guys. Seemed to like it & seemed plenty busy, but know nothing else about them.
