Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

You buy it in the 5 gal buckets? That's the same oil I get. I'm always checking Oriely Automotive and Tractor Supply for the price on it in 5 gal and they can usually beat Wal Mart. Napa is another good one to check. Have about 25 or 30 buckets on hand that I caught on a sale about a year ago... Hate to think what it's gonna cost when that runs out..

 

Most of the time i do,but they only had it in the 2.5 gal. jugs and i was getting a tad ''over-due'' on a change,so i bit the bullet this time. We have a local Napa store in Danville that is usually the cheapest in the 5 gal. buckets,plus they carry a better supply of trucking related stuff,and they are only 10 miles from me. Tractor Supply's in our area are normally a little ''pricey'',but they generally beat WalleyWorld,i was actually out for dinner with the wife and we ate at O'Charlies which is across from W-Mart,and was just too tired to try and drag her away from W-Mart

 

Yep, I've been there several times. I've delivered to Fairfax, which you have to be there before 7 pm, then River Rail, up to 11 pm. I've delivered from the KCT one.

It's kinda confusing, the Fairfax elevator is located off of I-635, to K-5 hwy. You'll come to an intersection at the bottom of a curved hill, have the jakes running, as there's a stoplight there. To your left is the elevator. This is in the Fairfax addition of KC.

River Rail is located on I-70. Take the James Street exit. Now at the bottom of the ramp, go to the left, then back to the right. Look for the stoplight that has the green light arrow pointing to the upper right. You go over a bridge, that dumps onto Fairfax. This is how and why I get them confused. River Rail is on Fairfax Trafficway, while the Fairfax elevator is on Kindleberger Road in FairFax.

 

That would have been Monday or Friday. Those were the only 2 days I was through Hutch. I'll be back through their on my way to Plevna again on Monday.

 

Don't forget their Kansas City Terminal elevator that is off of MO 210 between 35 and 435

 

Small world, my dry van sat at a customer location less than a mile from that elevator on 210 for several weeks. Often wonder about some of the hoppers I see when I'm out there hauling freight in some of you guys areas. Run through dairyman's neck of the woods more often than up in MO, KS areas though.
