08 TIMPTE FOR SALE

Posted on Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 10:48 PM CST in GATEWOOD, MO

08 TIMPTE FOR SALE

42 1/2'x96"x78" with stainless back and stainless front corners, small front mud flaps, removable vibrator with air chuck mounted near center of trailer, alluminum wheels, new virgin tires, nearly new tarp, very nice and in excellent condition. Located in southern Missouri near Doniphan. Home 573-255-3253 Cell 573-660-0277.

Thanks everyone who helped with advice and information about pulling a hopper. I wish you well. I'm going back to dry van. I've always figured up to two hours loading or unloading time with a flatbed or a dry van. Sometimes it would go over that but most often not. I've probably wasted more time over the two hour limit waiting to load or unload in the last month or so than in the previous 2 years. I try to run legal. It seems many hopper freight shippers and receivers think my time is worthless and the log book and weight limit laws mean nothing. Maybe I should say they don't care if I get hung out to dry it's not their problem.
Well thanks again for your help and if anyone needs a good hopper bottom give me a call.
