Other trucks deliver to the same place and their DDGS fall out like wheat. The DDGS we haul are orangish in color and the DDGS that slide out of yellowish in color. Why is that? And where do drivers go to get DDGS that are easier to unload?

Then what ever is left in after dumping i use my brakes, broom, and ice chipper. some of the damper types can be a pain in the ass, i dont think i have spent more than 45 min unloading. GOOD LUCK

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. there is not a 100% proof way to get them off. the humidity,temp,recipe,how dry,and trailer all have factors on how it comes out. high powered wax in ia doesnt do any good. it is a luck of the draw deal. sometimes it comes out and sometimes it doesnt. i've seen small hoppers unload easier and faster than oversized hoppers with every helpful option coming from the same plant same day and same dump site.

Make sure you sweep it out of the corners, off the rails and bows, and any steps you may have in the trailer every time to keep the new stuff from sticking to the old. We load it here sometimes and if they load them hot, by the time we get where we're going, the condensation makes them clump. Long broom handle or rod from the bottom helps when it rat-tails. We've even hauled them in pneumatics, and sometimes had to de-pressurize and shake it down to move some of it loose. Good luck!
