You don"t know for sure. I would say if you don"t trust your grain hauler than get a truck yourself and get rich. LOL

I did have a kind of similar thing happen a few years ago. I help haul some grain in the winters if I am not busy. This one real big farm setup had just got a son home from college. He is a real a$$. First thing he had to do was install a set of scales. He wanted to weight everything in and out. That is not a problem. I have found cattle loads that drifted too much that way too.

So I go to haul the first load for that farm after their new scales. He acts all high and mighty and starts bitching about how he just KNOWs that the truckers have been ripping off his Dad for years. Their yields are much better than what they where getting paid for. Yea right, Sloppy farming five thousand acres and thinks he is a top farmer. Planting late and weeds head high. So I stand there and say nothing. He gets done and hands me a weight ticket. I go out and move the truck off the scale and block the drive way. I lock the truck up and go back into the office/scale house. He asked me what I am doing??? I tell him to go write a check for the hauling since they are selling at an ethanol plant that does not pay hauling. He starts raising he!!. I tell him how bad it is collecting the haul bill from a bunch of dead beat "BIG" farmers. While he is getting a check his Dad comes out and I tell him what went on. He is not a bad fellow but can get all high and mighty at times. I inform him that I will have a lot to talk about back at the Coop over coffee tomorrow morning. He turns white. He nor his son can pass the CDL test, they have tried many times. They have their grain hauled across state lines so you do need a CDL. I tell him that he had better get a driver hired as I doubt that anyone will haul for his son. Most truckers don"t like being called a thief. I was right no one would haul for them. We all wondered if their scales where off and did not match the elevators where they going to sue us truckers???? They have their own driver now. The father says that it is costing him about twice as much to get his grain hauled now. GOOD LOL
