Central ND | Wireless electric hopper mover.
1) Drive next to auger
2) Use remote while in drivers seat to swing hopper underneath
3) Back up with front hopper over auger
4) Exit truck and unload front hopper
5) Enter truck and pull forward so back hopper is over auger
6) Exit truck, empty rear hopper and swing auger back out from under truck using the remote or the switches on auger (usually swing it in while auger is emptying)
7) Enter truck, and drive away
In and out 2x
I also have electric winch to lift the swing hopper between bins. Sometimes moving between 3 different bins/day.
The above assumes the swing auger is on the left side (same side as tractor door) and that you can drive semi straight in next to the auger (truck door and tractor door facing each other).
I do this about 80-100 times a year.

How much fun is dumping a semi trailer in swing end auger?
