Hello, my name is Hector and I'm new to the forum. First I want to apologize if this is a re-peat, and if it is could someone direct me to a place where I might get some answers.
Okay. This is the story along with the questions. My brother is law, got a Tuck with a "Bulk Trailer?". I believe that's what its called. I'm not a trucker, and nor do I know anything about this. Well he was supposed to have some jobs lined up and he was going to hire a driver to be doing the trips, but so far he has had no luck. So I wanted to ask here, what are some steps into this kind of business. He doesn't own a company yet, but eventually that is the goal. Right now as I understand he does jobs for companies who sometimes have trucks that break down and need an extra driver. I think that's what his doing. If anyone here has experience in dry bulk and transportation, that could give me some advice that would be great. Also if anyone know of any companies that could use some extra help in the state of Texas. We live in the Rio Grand Valley, so if anyone in the forum is from here it would be great if you could let us know. Thanks.
If I made myself unclear in anything let me know so that I can try to further explain the situation. Thank You All for any help.

Welcome to the forums,
Well, there are a couple of different types of bulk trailers. Dump trailers (end, side, belly dumps), pneumatic trailers, and hopper-bottoms, all haul bulk material. Bulk material can be rock, sand, salt, fly-ash, haydite, glass, grains, ect. Tankers are bulk trailers, but mainly haul liquids.
The dump type trailers will empty from dumping. The pneumatics use air to blow the material out through a hose into a bin where they're delivering. -
This is what my brother is law has right now. aluminum dry bulk pneumatic semi-tank trailer. I looked it up online and that's what he is using. Do you know of companies I could contact for him to get him some work? Where and how does one start looking?
