Posted by a private FlatLoads.com member.	Posted by a private FlatLoads.com member. I am looking for more information on the hopper industry. Looking at possibly getting in to the hopper industry but wanting to know when or if there’s a slow season? Can a guy make a decent living without running CA,OR,WA & would prefer not going east of ND,SD,NE,KS,OK, and TX IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. Im based out of Western Idaho and I don’t have a problem going out and staying out for 2-3 weeks as long as I’m making money. Any information is appreciated. Thanks, Myke

I think it's worth getting into if you have on ace in the hole customer that you can get a fair amount of steady work. I started in January. Not getting rich but paying the bills. I stay in sd, ND, mn, ia, wi, ne, wy and stay as busy as I want to. I haven't had a slow season, but without my one regular customer, July would have been slow Good luck

Posted by a private FlatLoads.com member.	Posted by a private FlatLoads.com member. mike there is good money in hopper, but you need be able follow the money. Ca,Wa,Or, are your best states. We are turning down loads paying $3.00 plus all moles because we dont have trucks.but overall i've made more money with hopper over long-term, mile for mile vs. livestock is seasonal. loads are based on 25tn, But if your thinking about ELD ag exempt, DON'T it doesnt work that way.
