Elevator Probe

[Blaithin]

Noticed today while parked on terminal scale with above scale probes, gross weight dropped by 10kg after being probed. Scale rounds to 10kg but enough grain was removed to round lower. Called into the office and yes gross weight is taken after probe sample😜
Does that annoy anyone else on here? Or am I just too easily annoyed! Ha ha

Annoys some.

Others leave 3 bushels on the scale after making big piles unloading.

Heard this fall of every hopper on the trailer having to be under 10% moisture. One guy got texts from his elevator saying he had one hopper out of 4 on his super b was at or above 10% moisture and they gave him a warning, even though the entire load tested dry.

The two crush plants I haul to paper blend, they don’t want anything over 11% otherwise they’re really not concerned anything. 10.5% or lower is called dry.

Cost of doing business, to us not them.

Curious which outfit that is?

I always try and make the scale so clean when I leave the guy behind can't tell what I unloaded and sometimes I want the thank the guy in front of me. That's almost always a commercial hauler.

Ive always wondered if dumping the air has any weight whatsoever. Freebie.

I'm a meticulous housekeeper while on the scale. I figure I need to make back the sample at least. Often can find more than that, especially if following a custom trucker.

Once I had the weight of all the old samples being dumped added to my scale weight, so I suppose that made up for many years of samples being taken.

I've also watched as they dump whatever samples are in the bucket in the pit along with my grain, wheat, canola, peas, barley all in at once, but for some reason if any of those foreign grains are found in my sample it is dockage which I don't get paid for...

Newer points have seperate probe point, weigh in scales, dump pits and tare out scales, then on to a ticket window.
Way faster. And no sweeping. Turn and burn.

Got a talking too for cleaning wet corn (snow ) off a scale and into a pit from Husky plant. It wasn't much but was going to add up if nobody did something. Nobody but drivers are at the unload so if nobody cleans up after themselves it can pile up in a hurry.
