Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

R.W.,you get any bad weather?

 

We haven't got hardly any rain, last one had rain to the east of us. The wheat could really use it. tarpsavercords.com. I bought some but haven't put them on yet as the electric tarp works good in the wind.

 

Dairyman we got a toad strangler too. They had tornadoes in NE La.. Heard they were bad around St. Joe and Lake Bruin. It's full wet here and they need to be planting rice.

 

The dealer put them on for me before I picked up my trailer, I was told they are pretty easy to do. The also look nice on the trailer a lot better then the rope. Not a bad investment for $39.95.

 

Big John, Does that ADM wheat mill in Enid unload trucks fairly fast. I didn't know if a person could get stuck there for hours waiting to unload. Doesn't pay the best but a option. Elevator I have been hauling from has a auger problem and may be down for a while.

 

No, we didn't get any bad stuff, just really windy Sunday and Monday, got about .5" of rain Sunday night/Monday morning. We were getting pretty dry around here, so that was a nice rain. Been a lot of field work going on, but have only seen a couple fields of corn planted. Still pretty early and cool.

I saw on the news this morning some parts of KY got some severe weather, was that near you?

 

No you won't wait long, they are pretty fast unloading. I went by their at a 11 this morning and there was like two waiting and one on the scale. You bringing wheat down?

Directions if you do come down: Hwy 81 south. On the north side of town you want to exit to the left and go under the overpass. You will be heading south on 4th street (four lane rd) watch the cop in this area it is a speed trap. You will come to a four way stop, continue south on the two lane and the mill will be down on your left past Athey Lumber Yard. The first driveway is to the scale, if there are trucks in line you will continue south and right before the tracks there will be a turn around on your left and then the right northbound lane is for grain trucks.

 

Yes, it's wheat they want brought down. You would think they would already have enough in Enid. Maybe it's a certain protein they need. If I do go down I'll give you a call and thanks for directions.

I made a hot load run down to coffeyville last year because they needed high protein wheat there right away. It paid really well.

 

They need a lot better corn also. The corn that Highside and crew are bringing down is a lot better corn then what we have down here. I just found out that some of the elevators have bugs in the wheat so it means it is going to get a little slow but then again their is still a bunch of milo to haul.

 

Thanks for the tarp saver info,fellers.

WH,i'm checking out the tarpsavercord web site right now.

R.W.,we were east of the really bad stuff,but one farmer i haul beans for in Bowling Green had some barn damage.Glad ya'll got some rain. What about this dang corn,have you ever seen anything like these prices? I hauled a load of cash corn yesterday for a local farmer that the elevator ticket said $7.22/bu.! That was a $7200 load of corn,I have hauled a LOT of beans loads in the past that were not that high.

Ya'll have a safe week.
