Cottonseed in hopper trailers
This is for those guys/gals googling "Cottonseed in hopper trailers."
Cottonseed is normally a decent return load out of the south for Midwest belt and walking floor carriers. One of the larger broker/shippers (The Andersons) is now trying to pedal these loads on hoppers for sub $2 a loaded mile. When I told the gal I was surprised they were trying to get Cottonseed loads moved in hoppers because it won't unload easily, she told me they were getting the Cottonseed unloaded using shovels and air kits...... 🤦
A) Cottonseed is not meant to be hauled in hoppers. If you don't believe me look it up on youtube. You will do a lot of sweating and cussing trying to unload it.
B) If you are running for sub $2 a loaded mile, just save yourself some trouble and drive for Prime Inc.
