You need to get you some remote controlled automatic trap openers!!! The same place that put the auto tarps on will install all in 1 remote. Super handy, labor saving, keeps you outta the dust.

Truck drivers get almost no exercise. I know I was one. I pulled flatbed most of my life for 20 years. It did give a little more exercise. It’s sad you’re suggesting to get power traps to take away what little exercise you do get. I do understand wanting to stay out of the dust but the labor part is just ridiculous.

@@kangeo I'm not suggesting you don't exwrsize, I'm a farmer and use truck, work my arse off. It's about speed to keep up with harvest and keeping your lungs from filling up with the dust and chaff, of course it's good to exercise?

How big or small of an object do you need to hit for that hopper to dump onto whatever road you're on?

Every Facility is Different - depends on what your product is and how big the facility is where you will unload your truck at! I’ve hauled wheat Mids to a place in Florida and they only had a 6” inch Crack in the Ground for me to dump into.. took me 3 full hours to unload there!! Then I picked up a load of Corn and hauled it to a Fuel making bio plant in New Mexico… the dump area was as long as the whole truck was and I was able to open both Gates at once and unload in 5 minutes!!! 😁👍🏼

Are you a Man or Woman? Yes this Question is very Important to be asked… Hopper bottom trailers such as this Require full attention when loading and unloading. Proper PPE should be worn at all times in the loading and unloading facilities as well. PPE - Rubber Non Slip Wet Boots - some loading and unloading facilities are Slippery and wet, and there are obstacles on the floor or ground that can penetrate your feet without special protection!! Safety Glasses - Dark or Clear ✅ HARD HAT - depending on Facility Rules 3M DUST MASK with filters- Loading and unloading = Wheat, Corn, Grains, Oats, and other products Contain High Volumes of Dust that can lead to Lung 🫁 cancer or breathing difficulties!!! Rain Coat - You may be unloading in wet environments at times. High Impact Gloves - Good slip grip resistance helps when unloading your trailer. Neck Lanyard Water proof Case- goes around your neck to carry your phone should you use it while unloading or loading to keep it protected from falling into the grain bins below your trailer and from getting wet if in wet weather!! SAFETY VEST 🦺- Orange, Yellow or Green and worn when at facilities with Special Rules! Especially in case of an explosion 💥 they can find you if you are Injured at the facility!! Bright Vest have been known to help emergency workers locate people injured or trapped in rubble or debris!

60-70K net depending on how fat you wanna run, 100K gross. 50-60k net if your trying to run legal, moat states allow ag hoppers 84K gross. Just plan your trip according!!! Or get some more axles and license to 95K with ag exemption 😉
