The Story

About
Hopper Hauler

One driver. One dog. A hopper bottom trailer and the open road.

Who We Are

Me, My Dog,
& The Rig

I'm Chris, a hopper bottom lease purchase operator leased onto Prime Inc. hauling grain across America — and my dog Estil hasn't missed a single mile. We bring you into the cab for every load, every state, every story.

I started the YouTube channel to bring people into the cab — to show what life on the road actually looks like for a working trucker. No glamour, no filters. Just the real grind of lease purchase trucking, the beauty of the open highway, and the best co-pilot a driver could ask for.

That co-pilot is Estil. He's been riding shotgun since day one and he's become as much a part of this channel as the truck itself. Best Friend and Head of Security — it's right there on the door.
