Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Same thing over there, not on much anymore though

 

It's 6 out right now. My body isn't used to it being this cold. Still no moisture but is supposed to get into 50's later in week.

 

Good Morning All ! My question is if any of the hopper companies; large or small, utilize a load board called BulkLoadsNow.com, and if so, would you tell me if it has been helpful. Thank You in advance !

 

I've looked at it but not sure it is worth $30 a month. The loads tend to be on the cheap side IMO. Then again what hopper loads aren't cheap right now.

 

If you want to starve to death.... Just hook to a hopper! Doing that myself rite now! Alot of #### work for little pay...

 

I cant believe they sensor out "Hard work for a little pay"

 

There is a broker out of Minnesota that keeps way more then there share and the farmers are getting screwed on the rate...

 

Thank You Wheathauler ! My normal merchandisers are really having a hard time finding work for me. I don't fault them at all, but it's gettin' really bad. I just counted them for the first time, and I haul for eleven different companies. They all have a little work right now, but I can't put loads together without way to many empty miles. Compound that with the cheapest rates that I think that I have ever seen and I can't make any money. I don't know what to do !!!

 

I agree, way too many deadhead miles on the loads. I don't think it will get any better for the next few months or longer.

 

Merry Christmas folks!
