My buddy and i use to use ag Lime as a back haul , as we would haul coal out around Toledo Ohio . The left over coal dust added in the lime to slide out . with our big scopes and bigger pumps we could run the loads up fast and bump the top scope . The jarring would break the load loose . We had the best suspension one could have under a coal bucket for stability , it may ride a little rough but would let you dump on a mountain side , plus we ran just a 30 foot box . Depending on how far we hauled it it paid pretty good . Longest haul was over into Pa. and that was playing with fire . Pa at the time was 73280 gross slow Poke and i would take 90-95000 NET . Most trailers would have a rough time with a load like that , that did not start sliding on the third scope . Slow poke and i had custom built East Mfg. trailers deigned and built to haul 100000 lbs . Bigger axles , bigger brakes extra cross members , i went one step up with and all Aluim . frame it saved me a 1000 lbs in light weight .
