    The pigs convince the animals that all animals are equal and anything with 2 legs is an enemy. They convince the other animals to battle the farmers and many of the other animals are killed off. And in the end, they make peace with the farmers. The other animals began to have difficulty telling the pigs from a human by their appearance.

    The reason why I brought it up was because it dawned on me that the males are not the targets of feminists.Why not?


    One of them you have sympathy over...the other you hope to never piss off.

    @wore out is right. I would say start with your local elevators. 100% of my hopper work is direct customers. No load board. Way to cheap. Show them that you have operating authority and alll legal insurance. Then tell them that you don't farm and when harvest hits you won't disappear like the farmers that try to truck. This is my best selling point. But its not all gravy. Better be ready to do some turning and burning. I run back empty to reload. Some days I will dump 6 loads. Factor that into your rate. FYI my math says you need to haul 1100 bushels or more to make money. No money in legal loads. 96k and up common. You save for the over weight because you will get burned. Pay it and go load it up again. Plus I loose 1-1.5 mpg with hopper compared to van or flat. Its the weight. If I am really getting after it 5.0mpg isn't bad. Any questions ask.

    I used to see those boys hit the scale at the Lima plant, 102k to 105k gross was pretty much the norm.

    Speaking of pics on the thread, here’s my contribution today. The Elf on The Shelf reports back to Santa on bad behavior. His name is Chippy, and he is one resourceful dude.

    Yep. My new trailer 100k is about all I will get. 26400 light weight. Now back with a older highside I was tossed from Bungee with 114k on. Band me for 3 weeks. Had to ask real nice to let me dump off. I sure as hell didn't want to take it back. Mind you most of this is done while the sun is up.

    Don't ask how I know but be real careful if you run from one side of the elevator to the other in Cutbank, MT. The local cop has a set of portables, a CVSA certification and a really bad taste for "ousidurs" running around "his" town. Spensive lesson learned.

    Mine still believe if you touch him he loses his magical powers. Ever so often I will walk over and get as close as possible to touching him without doing it to freak them out. Suckers.
