Bulk Cargo Delivery: Find Transport and Orders
Quickly find available grain carriers and dump trucks for loose cargo transportation or keep your equipment busy during the peak season.
Lardi-Trans is the #1 platform where farmers, construction companies, and carriers conclude direct logistics deals for bulk materials.
Bulk Logistics: From Quarry to Elevator
Transporting cargo in bulk requires precise vehicle selection based on cubic capacity and unloading methods.
On our exchange, you can find small tippers for short-haul construction trips as well as high-capacity "Tonar" style tipping semi-trailers for long-distance hauls in just a few minutes.
The service helps avoid equipment downtime during the off-season and quickly meets the demand for transport during harvesting campaigns or active construction periods by allowing direct rate negotiations.

FAQ: Answers to Questions About Bulk Delivery
How is the price for bulk transportation determined?
Freight rates are usually calculated per ton-kilometer or per trip (for short hauls). Prices are heavily influenced by seasonality (rates rise during harvest), road conditions, the presence of weigh stations on the route, and the possibility of a return load.
What is a "Tonar" and when is it best to book one?
In logistics slang, a "Tonar" refers to a large-capacity tipping semi-trailer. It is most efficient for transporting large volumes of relatively light bulk cargo (grain, coal) over long distances. It may not be suitable for cramped construction sites due to its size.
Why is the unloading method (side or rear) so important?
This is critical. Many older warehouses, farm tokos, or hangars have height restrictions where raising a large rear-tipping body is impossible without hitting the roof. In such cases, specialized side-tippers are required. Always specify this requirement in your request.
How is "natural loss" (shrinkage/wastage) accounted for?
When transporting grain or other loose products, minor weight loss due to drying or windage is possible. Natural loss allowances are typically outlined in the contract. On Lardi-Trans, you can find experienced carriers who use high-quality covers and side-sealants to minimize these losses.
What documents are required for grain transportation?
In addition to the standard Waybill (CMR for international), drivers often need phytosanitary certificates, quality declarations, and weigh-bridge tickets. During periods of strict weight control, it is also vital to monitor axle loads.
Does the service provide its own dump trucks?
No, Lardi-Trans is an aggregator. We provide the marketplace where the customer (farmer, trader, contractor) finds the transport owner. We ensure counterparty verification and easy searching, but the actual transport is performed by an independent carrier.
