Jim in Sask - 1/9/2019 20:14 The lineups are just as long these days at the elevators - it's just the trucks are bigger!
The real question - - - - Did the Trucks get Bigger, Because of the Line at the elevator ? ? ? ? ? ( ~ ;
Trucks got bigger because hauling distance went triple and more. My 12 mile haul to town is history since they took out this branch line. Closest elevator is 20 miles but after that it is 30 or as far as you want to go for a better grade and pay the trucking. Hauling with a single axle truck, 340 bushels per trip just is not feasible in these conditions. Its all custom trucking by semi for me now. Not enough acres to justify a semi.
