Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Don't know what the temp was today but it was scorching here too. Did a couple loads of DDG's today and man they did not want to come out very easy.

Oh here's my new ride too.

 

I really hate doing DDGS when its this hot and humid, think ill stick with my fertilizer and organic corn as long as possible. I feel for you gettin that stuff out this week.

 

It was real windy and hot here today also, seen two drivers loose their tarps over the side today. Hope you stay busy during harvest WH. See a lot of trucks just running back and forth bringing wheat down from Kansas.

Thought today was it. Had a kid driving a empty custom harvesters truck just about loose it on a two lane road and about hit me head on. He let his right steer get off the road and he tried to correct it and he did but then came over in front of me and then back over in his lane. I hope he had to go and change his britches. You got to drive safe then you have to watch out to see if everyone around you is going to drive safe.

Been busy and just got home, all the small elevators are filling up fast and the trucks can't keep up. It is a better harvest then they thought it was going to be. I have hauled out of four different elevators today, playing musical elevators I guess. They have one elevator that is small and he is completely full so they have a bunch of us going to be their at 6:30am to get some wheat out of his bins so he can take some farm trucks tomorrow.
Shower and to bed, see ya.

 

I haven't hauled wheat yet. What kind of rates do you see and is it worth it to drop my van, grab and hopper and follow the harvest? We don't see a lot of wheat out of IL so until I read these posts I wasn't thinking about it.

 

Anyone selling a hopper. Getting ready to pull the trigger and would rather give money to a driver than a dealer.

 

Yeah you ain't kiddin! These DDG's are sucking royally this week in this humidity. Did 3 more loads of them today. Gotta do a short load or 2 in the morning then head out to Des Moines to Cargill.
