Dump your air suspension when loading, stack them high, be gentle when you shake them down (if you go hard you will throw them off the truck and make a mess). Enjoy the ride with a light load. They normally flow like water, I wish I could haul the all of the time. Good luck!

I had them pile that crap a foot over the bows and had 22 tons on. I tried to shake down but we had plenty, went about 30 miles then I could re-tighten the tarp. Pay was good and it flowed right out.

I've got a 72"x96"x50' and it was everything i could do to get that much on. If it is Sioux City and they haven't changed it in the last 5 years or so, it's a bitch to shake down there. Not much space and you've got to do it while you're tractor is not straight with the trailer. I always charge a little extra on Hulls or tell them it's a 24 or 25 ton minimum charge.
