Does anyone have any experience trucking potash for the mines? What is the best method? Thanks.

If my memory is right, @Long FLD and @Professor No-Name have hauled potash before. Maybe one of them will chime in.
When I was working the oilfield in New Mexico, I remember seeing pneumatics coming in and out of the potash mines on Hwy 31. -

We had to hook our blower inlet to the desiccant can and blow the 'dry' air thru the discharge pipeline for 15 min. to insure it was moisture free before we started to off-load. It did not have aerators, just top and line air.
We watched the loader clear a plug on his end and you could see the beads that hit the ground melt in the humid sunlight on Jersey summer day. -
bizbrick and RockinChair Thank this.

Hopper bottom works good

Frameless dump lined with plastic, I’d rather hit myself in the head with a hammer then haul another load of That sht

iv hauled quite a few loads of potash fertilizer in a hopper bottom. not really much different than any other load. its a fairly dense product and kind of angular so your have probably 50lbs worth to sweep the corners out when your done. and it contains some naturally occurring radioactive material. so when you cross the us/can border with it, it takes a few extra mins. can freak them out sometimes if they haven't run your plate number yet to pull up your load information cause it sets off there scanners. but over all not really any different than any other hopper load.
