Deep drop fertilizer trucking as an o/o

Where?

 

Might be different where your your at IDK. But here in Iowa it’s pretty much seasonal, and liquid fertilizer is becoming a thing of the past there’s a lot more dry fertilizer getting moved and even that is seasonal. BTW I know a couple friends that have pulled tankers hauling liquid fertilizer and they both say the same thing that it pulls harder than livestock. IDK what the difference is between them in fuel mileage is but they both say a cow wagon pulls easier

can that stuff be hauled with baffled trailers.

Open bores suck unless fully loaded.

 

IDK the only 2 guys I actually know pulled open bore trailers

 

I’ve hauled liquid fertilizer in a smooth bore, and I didn’t think it was bad at all. Most trailers used for hauling fertilizer are a much smaller bore than say, a milk tanker. Cuts your backsplash down considerably! And considering that fertilizer is much heavier than some other liquids, you don’t need nearly as big of a trailer. Most of what I hauled was unloading the entire load at 1 location so, the trailer I pulled was almost 3/4 full when loaded. You could definitely tell a difference when it only had a part load in it! We had a 48’ spray trailer with 2 MUCH larger tanks on it, really short tanks, but high and wide, and that trailer pulled like crap. It would have been greatly improved with baffles.

 

Grammer Logistics - Leading Bulk Transportation and Logistics Company

Grammer has three or four Ohio terminals. I see their equipment at Nutrien in Lima, Ohio when I've been there. Mostly NH3 but they do other liquids, not sure about 32-28% fertilizer.
