I thought of some more fun ones:
Meat and Bone meal (aka powdered pigs)
Blood meal (lots of fun in the summer when it is humid)
Ammonium Sulfate (nasty smelling fertilizer - never wants to flow in humid weather)
Fish Meal (stinky, greasy, nasty)
Whey (like plaster)
Sprouts (basically just dust)
Alfalfa Meal (a giant green clout of nastiness)

When I was doing grain hauling, I would go through an Albuterol inhaler ONCE A WEEK. Now, I go through one every year and a half or so.It'll make your lungs feel you just smoked four packs of cigs one after the other and it lingers for days.

Another plus might be that a lot of the times grain hoppers are usually shorter and easier to manuever. Then again try taking any type of combination into your average barnlot that is barely big enough for a straight truck and you'll have your backing and manuevering skills down in no time.
I found that pulling a grain wagon made it much easier to pull a 53 footer. Gotta love those tandems being right at the tail end!Another plus might be that a lot of the times grain hoppers are usually shorter and easier to manuever.

Ditto, ditto and ditto.
That DiCal will jam things up in a heartbeat. And blood meal & fish meal are just plain nasty any time of the year in my book.
Gee, I hope our getting slightly off topic hasn't scared away the OP. Honestly, it's not a totally bad gig, you could do much worse.
