Hopper Trucking. A must watch. Lots of information about Hopper Trucking

Very cool guy, I miss hearing from the vets. The industry has been so flooded with cash grabbers. It’s good to hear from a humble, down to earth driver.

Dennis is one of the most respectable, honest, enthusiastic, positive, experienced drivers I have worked with. You struck gold with finding Dennis to interview. What a great guy.

Most bulk hauling is monday- friday 6 am to 4-5 pm for load unload times, depending on what im doing with my hopper im only in the sleeper 2 nights a week. home weekends and 3 days a week, im regional/ local-ish hopper. Sure if you wanted to you could stay out in a hopper and run it just like OTR, if he's running it that hard i bet he did double his salary! Bulk loads pay better, always have and always will, the only exception in the last 20 years was the post pandemic 18 month explosion of dry vans, that was easy to see that was a huge bubble

Been driving 24 years only about 4 years hopper. Hopper generally pays less to company drivers per mile but!;you can use ag exempt for HB which more than makes up for it. The main thing I like is not sitting around all the time. It's hands on and I never wait to get a load. Very busy pay off the trucking world

I’ve met him and we’re from the same county. He has dispatch that runs him. Most of us go home everyday because we run no log agriculture exemption. We run how we want. There a load board for bulk loads. You can run state to state or around your county. All hog and chicken plants make the product. All grain is the cheap loads. Most pay by the ton and grain is by the bushel. Dogs and cat food food protein meal like sand. Animal by product has to get use in something

Dennis is great! We use hoppers to deliver frac sand in the oilfields of Texas and ND

[lawrencethegoodsaint]

Great interview, I thought those guys go home every day

[mobent]

Everytime I met a old trucker, thats been doing it 20+ years. They all said that same thing. I wouldn't do it. Its not worth it. I lost all my family. Did 5 years otr, started a business home and been home every since. Im glad I left.

[johnnyleon]

Thank you for your insights. Preciate you.

[ShortySmoovu]

It’s our fault as company drivers for allowing the industry to take advantage of our skill set. The numbers matter!! Let’s get these numbers in our favor!!

[Ken-harris]

When you said you got a family now he was like with that damn grin lol ….😆

[Jaquez]

Ok freedom ok you must been at Cargill? I stay close to there currently running a hopper bottom as a owner op here in Oklahoma. Liked your video

[jglllcknows]

If I ever run into you we definitely need to do a interview

[BigBrewYou]

I drive locally for a farmer in Missouri. I haul corn, soybeans, wheat. No getting inside the trailer to dig, sweep anything out. Alotta OTR Hopper freight is NO FUN at all.
