I never could understand people using wagons, but other than that, you are correct. Here in central NE, any kind of proggressive farmer has made the switch to semi tractor-trailers. Quite a few farmers are still using big tandem axle trucks, and it is not hard to see the writing on the wall. The only single axle trucks are old guys that are on the way out that are not going to spend a dime. When you have combines that can knock out ninety acres of 200+ bushel corn a day and 900 bushel auger wagons you need a herd of tandems to keep up, along with a driver for each one, because if there is ANY line at the elevators the combine will have to stop. I logged 190hrs. this fall hauling corn in two 22ft. tandems and two semis, and this was the last year for the tandems, they just can't keep up. Time is money boys, and it's all about the money. Single axle trucks are for gardeners.
