I opened a terminal at a DuPont plant that was heading towards shutdown. a neighboring terminal had a flatbed with sides and tarps sitting so they were paying corporate and hadn't found a new home for this oddball.
As the plant shut down the needed to return super-sacks of Vanadium catalyst returned to the source in Arkansas. My guys were fighting over these loads, I think in '92 they paid the operator $4500.00 round trip.
I used tha flat bed for a month, didn't pay to have it, and really boosted my P & L statement... -

I did one better, before moving to the DuPont plant got a call from Conrail about a leaking tank car just before going home..
I called in 4 junior men and took a mechanic an pickup out to the edge of a tree farm and pumped out a car that was overflowing the pail under the dripping valve and after Conrail bought us all breakfast, delivered it to the nearby customer.
Downtown considered 'emergency service' as one level of response to a customer location, portal to portal, but had this item called Emergency, emergency service [I kid you not] and head of invoicing said she stopped at $14K cause she figured 'that was enough'.....about $3K per truck and $2K for the mechanic, me and the pickup in 12 hours and two days before the end of the month, nice shot in the P & L on a slow month.spindrift Thanks this. -
Hopper bottom mostly. Some places can be end dump. Just depends on if you have to dump it into a small hole for auger. Easy job but make sure to sweep good after. Some places will reject your entire load if they find a bit of it that has fallen down from top of trailer while you were rolling. It hangs in every crevice. Especially in the doors of the hopper and up on top, tarp side.
