    Dry bulk tankers is gravy money; I've done it. Best recommendation I can give you is to buy good hearing protection because those pumps can be loud with a high pitch sound. I'd go to gun store and buy ear muff type protection like is used on a gun range.
    I hauled many different types of dry bulk products, such as flour to Bisquick in Kansas City.
    If the company doesn't provide one, get a heavy duty rubber mallet to tap on the sides of the tank as it's unloading. This prevents product from sticking to the inside of the tank and ensures you pump all the product out of the tank.
     
    Bama Roadrunner Thanks this.

    You will most likely do both, as well as pull a box, if you go to their Bulk division.
