In 200000 miles I haven't put more than 20000 dollars value in my hopper. I'm sure you have a reason, but to me it seems unnecessary

Don’t know. I assume if an accident epa issues or cleanup never asked. It is work and pays good at 72 ton a load. With pup

Not many people haul treated seed in a hopper. That's a specialized situation. I haul mostly organic and I won't haul for someone that requires 100k on a 20k valued load. I'd be 90 percent of people in bulk hopper industry never put more than 10k in the trailer except for a few specialized loads. If you have 50k in insurance that leaves 40000 for cleanup

I dont see the sense on having overkill for pulling a load that only pays 2 bucks like most hopper loads. I need to have more insurance now that I pull a tanker, but I'm also paid triple per mile over a hopper
