Cottonseed in a hopper part 2
Hello all, last year I posted a similar post regarding cottonseed in hopper trailers. If you are new to this business know that it will not flow out (unload) without significant help. Help by the customer should be established before taking the load. After all, if the farmer isn't willing to pay the small premium to have the load hauled in a belt or walking floor trailer, you had better make them share in some of the work. I called on a cottonseed load from NC to MI this week that was labeled H,HHS,B,WF and it would have paid my belt $1.92 a loaded mile. If a truck pulling a high side hopper could get 25 tons it would have paid $2.09 a loaded mile............. ouch.
