Sticky DDG's

I've tried using spray wax and I don't believe it actually helped. For one thing, carnuba wax basically breaks down at something like 88 degrees, so if you're hauling in the summer it's not really doing anything for you. About the only thing I've ever found to be at all effective is just running several loads of corn through the trailer. One thing a guy could try I suppose would be silicone spray. That stuff seems to last forever on whatever surface its applied!

I have heard that a spray wax works good. Just spray the inside of hopper with the wax and let it dry then load it up.

Try and unload in the cool of the morning and it generally drops right out.

Has anyone loaded DDGS out Mason City Iowa in the last week or so ? I wanted too see how they unloaded

its way to hard on trailers to have your drivers beating the heck out of them for that kind of money just decreasing the value of your equipment

i also use the stuff on the gear openers of my hoppers

attitude u-haul DDG you'll starve to death I know what everyone gets paid pocket change its a joke the whole grain industry is a joke this website is a joke junk cheap loads

And don't forget, you have to wait 30 to 60 days to get paid, if your lucky...These people think they can hold your money, tell they get paid, they say...

the reason I got on this website is because a potbelly dispatcher 4 a grain company told me about itwhich I found out he's nothing but a thief a liarand I was verylucky that I sold my truck and trailer and got out of this racketjust for the rich to be folks it's after trying to make a living haulin this cheap product you better be looking for something else to do or you will be in bankruptcy courton the average good day you probably make $3 an hour from the time you leave home to the time you get back home and always brokers that forces these drivers the hall stuff in their trailer they did they shouldn't be hauling I promise you it will come back and bite you you cannot mix food products contaminatedproductsthey say go have your trailer washed out but that don't get it clean enoughwant u Haul that bad products in your trailer you shouldn't never put the grain food products back in it for people to eat or livestockthat's the very reason this country is so full of diseases

I think someone needs to go back to grammar school instead of complaining

AMEN BROTHER!!!

This country is full of disease because: 1. nasty people do not wash their hands after using the restroom. 2. People fail to clean up their equipment properly between loads. 3. Many more reasons then I can list here. But the biggy is the nasty people not washing their hands.

Steve is is a subscription not a prescription. A prescription is what the doctor gives you when you are sick from a disease that you contacted from nasty people that don't wash their hands. LOL. I as well as others are happy that you sold your truck and trailer and are not out here running with the real truckers. You need to stay on the farm where you belong and draw your welfare subsidy from the government.

Walking floor trailers rock DDG. Right trailer for the load. Art Pfluger

Hey Justin You are right about this forum getting off the subject and for my part I apologize. Hoppers are the lightest simplest trailers to use for many things but in my experience they work best for grain but everyone wants to haul other products with them and have to improvise how to get it out, been there, alfalfa meal and hominey in a 9 hole tempte are the worst that I remember. Have hauled hominey lately in a end dump, sure was nice to see it just slide right out. People that have spent money on specialised trailers to do a job have always have been resentful of hopper bottoms trying to cut the rates. Just the way it is. But everyone, including me, could be more polite and stick to the subject. Thanks

I don't know why you wouldn't be able to haul grain and fertilizer on a walking floor I've done it for 15 years. If you need to unload in a pit you just put a grain shoot on the back. You're more versatile then as well. You can haul pallets if need be.

Our drivers say that they roll back tarp the last hour before delivery and it helps dry it out.

I haul ddg alot both from rail car and from the plant....seems like rail car comes out eaiser but that is because risidual moisture and hear are gone. I have a air hose and long wand that helps with them really sticky loads having larger doors helps some hoppers have small doors and nothing but grain wants to come out. Some times you can shock the load after you get a little room in the hopper by moving forward and backward hitting the breaks. This is one of my least favorite commodites to haul right up there with meat and bone meal but there are times I haul it alot.

I hang a 3/4" rope from a bow and pinch it in the door of each hopper before I load. If the product sticks, I can pull it up from the top and create a "starter hole".
