I have a 35' long x 96" wide x 60" tall sides dump and can get 26 tons with a little room to spare. That's keeping the pile below the roof bows. You should be able to get 21 tons on your trailer. Good Luck!

I can haul 26 ton when playing with the fuel. Are rates that much different for end dump, over hoppers. I see a lot of guy's hauling grain in end dumps.

" There are certain places that want enddumps because of how they are set up to handle their feed and they are willing to pay extra for it. A dairy in Oklahoma wants enddumps because the roof rolls back on their feed storage building and you back in to the bay and dump.
