MARCUS DENNIS AMERICAN AG TRANSPORT York, NE 10 Posts, 0 +, 0 -	MARCUS DENNIS AMERICAN AG TRANSPORT - York, NE Some guys seem to make it work...... Where we live we can make around $3,000 gross dollars a week. With our vans we can make 4 to 4500 dollars a week on reginal hauls. That is not saying there isn't a sweetheat deal out there but I have my last Hopper for sale now.

ANDREW WENGER AWTRANSPORTATIONLLC Tampa, FL 167 Posts, 11 +, 4 -	ANDREW WENGER AWTRANSPORTATIONLLC - Tampa, FL make sure your hopper has enough capacity. There is a huge difference between grain hoppers and ingredient hoppers. perfect size would be at least 43 ft 102 wide and 84 in walls minimum. I like my local runs in pa . you need to work with good connections as everyone seems to be rate choppers
