I get this a lot. No1, not 1 person thought of this while I was keeping it a secret.

But do you live in California ? Lol

I’m in Whiteland IN right now. Let me know if you’re in the area. Love to pick your brain on this line of work!

Man I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Took no time at all!

Yah they are very friendly and great place my brother is at the loves down the road from you lol

Screenshotting this message! If I go that way, I’ll have it on my list for a stop! Thanks Eric! 😎

I do meet ups all the time. Keep track with me on Instagram and message me next time I’m in your area

Left hotshot a few weeks ago

I’m curious, what happened?

I was heading east on I 80 in Wyoming and the wind was about 50mph and I did not have the tarp clamp do good enough and the wind caught it and ripped the tarp and broke the arm on the rear of the trailer and bent the rod that goes front to back. I had to get all of it replaced.

Trevor Heffner oh shit. I’m taking notes!

Keep up the good videos you doing great at promoting the industry in a positive way.

Worked with a broker who dispatched me.

@@DreamInspired would you care to shear the broker name and phone. Looking into a hooper bottom need advice

Yes you have to clean them. Most of the time just a sweep out but depending what you had and what you’re going to get, you might need a wash out. And I don’t run for less than $2.50 a mile. It’s not worth it.

Dream Inspired I figured you had to clean them wasn’t sure how much it runs you if your power washing them ! Nice move up btw

Steve Riley The amount of Commodities in the Mid west is crazy busy. You do have to sweep out between loads if required most do. Some have you get a wash out which I prefer so no mishaps occur. The money in this industry is very good. Some loads you make bare minimum to get you the next load that’s paying awesome. I myself parked my flatbed trailer because the money is way better in hoppers.

Anthony Taylor I was looking to go from dump truck back to semi was thinking flatbed but not 100% sure , but being from Ohio I see a lot of local grain corn haulers but not sure where the loads are posted to see rates and lanes for this kind of freight

Steve Riley To be honest Flatbed is not where it’s at now. I just sold my actually today. Hoppers in your area is great money. That should be your Avenue for sure.

Wow. That’s insane. No I unloaded at my scheduled time on Tuesday. I got there Monday afternoon and was told by my broker that they would unload me and move me fast... Had to wait til my appointment at 11am the next day tho. I’m in Sioux Falls SD now. Been here since Friday afternoon.

@@DreamInspired that's cool maybe they got their act together now

Got em👍🏻👍🏻

And a vibrator fir the trailer

@@DreamInspired awesome sounds good vibrators really help a lot

We shall see my friend. I’m in Pennsylvania now

Hey man. So I got out of grain hauling a while back. I’ve done a few loads over the years but the goal is to always be searching 80k lbs. The biggest tip I got was to always either fill the tanks before loading to make sure You’re never over 80k or fill after getting loaded and avoid weigh stations so you can get paid more since the pay by the ton. 23k lbs in the front and 27k in the rear puts 50k lbs into the bins. You’ll want the less in the front since your drive axles already have weight on them from the truck. I didn’t have much as far as advice going into either. Hope that helps man

@@DreamInspired dude thanks I appreciate it ! IL definitely take that into heart since il be learning it myself I appreciate the info il definitely write that down for future reference I'm going back to it this week from pulling box and refers bit nervous bit I'm sure il master it thank you !
