Does the facility have sufficient clearance to be able to fit your trailer in to load or unload. A lot of hopper places have limited height clearance. Can you get your trailer clean enough to be able to haul the material. I have used pneumatics in place of hoppers on several occasions but the variables will dictate whether a company will use you or not. All you can do is ask. The worst that happens is that they say no.
