Business Relies on Hopper Bottom Trucking

Hopper bottom trucking provides transportation for a number of different products. With one or two bottoms on the trailer, the goods to transport are loaded from above and unloaded from below. This is an ideal way to move a variety of bulk products  that include:

Grain -- From the farm or field to the grain elevator or the manufacturing facility, hopper trailers get certain types of produce where it needs to go before it reaches the dinner table. For example, wheat is poured through a large spigot and released at the destination. With a large storage capacity, the remaining wheat goes to other delivery points. The food that can be transported this way includes:

Wheat
Corn & Corn Meal

Oats
Beans
Seeds

Spices

Potatoes

Corn

Fertilizer --  Load up a truck full of fertilizer and distribute it to as many destinations as necessary. Open up the hopper at the first location and stop when the desired amount is released, then it’s on to the next stop. You can even have the truck drive over the field where the farmer wants the fertilizer.

Pebbles -- Hopper bottom trucking is ideal for delivering small rocks from the quarry to their new home. Pour the pebbles in and cover them until you reach your destination. This prevents them from flying out of the truck.  Then unload in one spot, such as a hole to be filled or distribute them over any the location where they’ll be used.

Dirt, Soil, & Sand -- Ask the driver of the truck to distribute that load of dirt, soil, or sand for you. The driver just rolls over the property, releasing the sand bit by bit, saving you time and trouble. Whether you need the dirt to even a foundation, soil for a field, or sand for reclamation work, a hopper truck is the way to go.
