A portable weighing hopper assembly for use in precisely loading bulk material or commodities in a shipping container or vessel which includes a wheeled frame having first and second metered hoppers mounted thereon. A primary hopper is mounted on the wheeled frame for supplying material to either the first and second metered hoppers. A transfer valve is positioned between the discharge end of the primary hopper and the first and second metered hoppers for directing material from the primary hopper to either the first and second metered hoppers. A slide gate is positioned between the lower outlet end of the primary hopper and the transfer valve. Load cells are associated with the first and second metered hoppers which supplies the weight information to a CPU. The CPU controls the flow of material from the metered hoppers to a conveyor which discharges the material into a shipping container or the like.
