do the gates on your trailor plug when you spread material like base or crusher run rock

Ours have box viberators on them. This makes it easy to spred base with. I will not haul pit/jaw run in it because its a pain if they plug with a 24" or larger rock. :mad:

OH, yes. If you are wanting to spread a 6" lift and have some larger stones in the load it will definitely hang up. And screw up your spread even in the dump trucks. Our pit has a few larger (12-18") stones but we try to keep them out of the loads. My next purchase is a separator.

Does anyone know how much they usually pay belly dumps owner operators. Do they pay by the mile or by the ton or by the hour?
