Whether you own a farm, or you’re looking to break into the agricultural industry, chances are you’ll benefit from bringing a reliable bulk haulage company on board. And when you’re in business, there’s always a checklist to follow. This is especially true when you want to make sure everything runs smoothly while organising transport for your farming and agricultural needs.
You may require the bulk transportation of grains. Perhaps you require a big load of cottonseed. Maybe even a seasonal load of fertiliser or cattle feed. Either way, you might like to ensure your chosen bulk haulage company has the fleet required to deliver your agricultural and farming needs in the timeframe required.
Road haulage fleet
It is best to choose a haulage company that has a wide selection of vehicles in various sizes. For instance, if you choose a haulage company that has dozens of Kenworth Prime Movers, you are guaranteed your products will arrive on time and in top condition.
How should I transport cottonseed in Australia?
Transportation by road currently dominates the supply chain of cotton in Australia. For this purpose, road haulers use articulated semi-trailer, B-double or A-double road vehicles for the transport of cotton. Cottonseed should be shipped shortly after harvest. To avoid transporting excessively old goods, the year of harvest must be ascertained before loading is begun. You might like to check with your chosen bulk haulage company to ensure your cottonseed is transported as bulk cargo or as break-bulk cargo in bags of woven natural materials or woven plastic bags. This will ensure it will arrive at its final destination in the best possible condition.
Bulk haulage of fertiliser
It is important to handle and transport fertiliser safely whilst minimising deterioration in quality. Correct handling and transportation of fertiliser should be based on climatic conditions, the type of fertiliser and how it is shipped. During bulk transportation of fertiliser, you want to make sure your bulk haulage company does the right thing. It’s imperative to ensure there is no cross-contamination during transportation. A good bulk haulage company will conduct regular safety and quality inspections of their vehicles.
