I've thought about this before but never asked here. You see a lot of semis hauling grain to market. In the city here I see a lot of them at the big, big elevators. Some of them are pretty fancy - big shiny Kenworths and Peterbilts. A lot of them pulling new grain trailers. So there must be some money to be made in grain. $1.50 to $2 a mile? My question is more about the value of the loads they're hauling. How many bushels of grain will one of those trailers haul? I suppose it is measured by weight and not by volume? Maybe 20 or 22 ton in a load? Do they test the moisture content at the elevator and pay accordingly? Or does the moisture have to be at a certain % before the elevator will take it? Does the load come from smaller, rural elevators or straight from the farm? What is a typical load of corn or wheat worth? ADM has a big elevator a few miles from me. Always a lot of trucks there waiting to unload.

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
