Height restriction at ADM Mount Vernon, IN

Just putting this out there to save someone the hassle. If you ever enquire about wheat midds out of Mount Vernon, IN you will need a trailer less than 12' tall. When I showed up to load, one of the plant employees noticed I had a tall hopper. He informed me that the catwalk that ran along the side of the load spouts was only 11'7". The load spouts themselves are only slightly higher. The employee told me he's had to turn away guys with walking floors due to height, yet a lot of the load postings call for HHS or WF. An 84" sided hopper would be pushing it there, and you might have to dump the suspension to get loaded. I've got a 43'102"102" and I'm 13'5" at the center of my bows. Most flour mills can accommodate tall trailers for midds loadouts, but not ADM in Mount Vernon. For those brokering those loads please note a 12' height restriction.
