to all end dump haulers...

This isn’t me or my style but I chuckle at this kinda crap

 

Just found my retirement plan! Shhhh...don’t tell anyone else, I don’t want competition. LOL.

 

Got another email on another joke, wheat from Pulaski Wisconsin to Peru Illinois for $.30/bushel
That’s $240 for 270 miles

 

I never pulled hopper only end dump, but if my math is correct it's about 33 bushel per ton. That's $9.90/ton. (I know you did the math already) Holy crap is that cheap! Do guys actually haul it for that rate?

 

#### whatever list you on I don’t ever wanna be on it but somebody hauling it

 

Hopper bottoms haul it all day at least the bottom feeders

 

From Peru it’s only a hundred miles over to the adm plant to reload corn gluten or pellets I’m sure Oakley or Atlantic would gladly haul it then go wait ten hours in line at adm!! Have I ever mentioned I don’t miss pulling a hopper

 

It's all good. Been busy a heck here! The weather is aggravating as I can't keep anything clean.
@blade thanks but you keep your trailer and make some money with it. My trailer is structurally fine, but I am irritated over the cracks in the welds and Winks failure to handle it. That's another story to play out and should be interesting.
@Trashtrucker1707 sorry I have been missing you when you've been around. Glad everyone is doing OK and waving hand in here so at least we know everyone is alive and kicking.
@whosfate don't despair it will get better. You're also in a learning curve which makes things harder.
Welcome to all the new faces
Happy Trails

 

I had a pretty busy week, left the house on Sunday at 10AM (which is enough to make me re-think my life's decisions), got up to Steele AL and kicked back until the AM, watched the first episode of The Walking Dead, I still watch it, because after investing 9 seasons I've got to see where it goes. After I dumped in Steele, I bounced over to Whitestone, GA making use of Alabama 411, some beautiful country out there but the sun was nowhere to be found.

I brought my GA load down in to Florida, and then loaded some rims for the long hike up to Huntsville, AL, that's the first time I've been there and the scenery was breathtaking. I knocked that off and came in to Birmingham, made it to Montgomery for the night and hung out in @NightWind territory at the Cracker Barrel. I woke up Thursday, went to leave and the truck fell on its face, I've been dealing with an algae issue in the tanks and it showed its arse again, I limped the old girl back to Lake City and hopefully righted the issue.

Had a super easy Friday, knocked my red rock off and came back home, did some moto therapy this morning in Tampa, and sent some jumps entirely too big for me to be doing at my age, but hell life is about scaring the crap out of yourself from time to time and motocross definitely has a way of doing it for me. I'll load Monday and head to Pensacola, safe travels all.

 

@Trashtrucker1707 whats going on with Supercross this year? I haven’t been keeping up.
