Where is everyone #5

My opinion on newer hoppers is ALL the manufactures lightened them up to the point that they will not hold up like the older ones.
For brute strength a high side Timpte or Wilson is hard to beat. Bigger the box, the more stout it becomes. The style with the enclosed hoppers and a rail running between the doors is one solid trailer.
If you can resist the temptation to fill it level full...
I know on a 15 Stoughton and you can tell how heavy you are by just looking in the mirror.
This old 76 Wilson was about the first grain hopper in this area. Prolly hauled as much fertilizer as grain. Demoted to a field wagon anymore but it'll still carry the mail.

 

Thanks to everyone’s help. AC is clean, working well, and I survived.

 

Well if that fixed it, you better get on to another project then I guess.

 

Is that all you had to do was clean it?

 

It takes forever to go from Des Moines to Denver

I've looked but cant find if it's true or not but can someone force you to move or otherwise come on duty after you've started your 10 hour reset?

 

If you're on an ELD, log it as PC and notate it as "forced to leave property and park elsewhere" or some such. Of course that being absent any company instruction/policy.

 

Not on company or anything just curious. Been reading about places forcing drivers to leave or ticketing them.

 

Drop the trailer
