Best Dry Bulk Trucking Jobs

Mike Marshall, Shipping Expert

Dry Bulk Trucking is all about hauling loose commodities like grain, fertilizer, cement powder, plastic pellets, salt, and sand. Instead of pallets and forklifts, drivers use pneumatic tanks or hopper trailers that unload by air pressure or gravity. With tight schedules at mills, plants, and storage sites, being comfortable with hoses, valves, and cleanouts goes a long way.
