Trucks are
versatile, there’s no doubt about it, but what makes them truly adaptable is
the range of trailers available. When you have a special cargo that needs
hauling, the chances are pretty good a trailer already exists that can meet
your needs easily.
Hopper bottom trucking is a perfect
example. These rigs are vital for hauling products such as corn and grain from
elevators or bins to loading terminals or another point. Some drivers even pick
up products directly from harvesters in the field.
At
elevators, for example, all the driver needs to do is pull up under a loading
chute and wait for the product to flow into the trailer. After that, it’s time
to hit the road. Once the truck reaches its destination, unloading is a piece
of cake as the product flows smoothly from the bottom of the hopper and into a
cargo hold or pit.
Without the
simplicity and function of hopper
bottom trucking, it would become a major time-consuming chore to unload the
trailer. A dump trailer would not be as clean and efficient, and unloading with
a machine would cause delays.
Using a
hopper bottom is the perfect case of “the right tool for the job.”
