Bulk cargo logistics: from quarry to grain elevator
Transporting loose cargo requires the correct selection of equipment by volume and unloading method.
On our freight exchange, within minutes you can find both small dump trucks for short distances and powerful “Tonar” trucks for long-haul operations.
The service helps avoid equipment downtime during off-season and allows you to quickly meet transport needs during harvest or active construction periods through direct rate agreements.

FAQ: Answers about bulk cargo transportation
What affects the price of bulk cargo transport?
Freight rates are usually calculated per ton-kilometer or per trip (for short hauls). The price is strongly influenced by seasonality (higher during harvest), road conditions, weight control points, and the possibility of taking a backload.
What is a “Tonar” and when should it be used?
In logistics slang, a “Tonar” is a tractor unit with a high-capacity dump semi-trailer. It is effective for transporting large volumes of lightweight cargo (grain, coal) over long distances. It may be unsuitable for tight construction areas due to its size.
Why is the unloading method (side or rear) important?
This is critical. Many old warehouses or hangars have limited height, making it impossible to fully lift the dump body of a “Tonar” (rear unloading) without risk of hitting the roof. In such cases, agricultural side-unloading dump trucks are required. Always indicate this in your request.
How is natural shrinkage (weight loss) calculated?
When transporting grain or other loose products, small weight loss may occur due to drying or wind blow-off. Acceptable shrinkage norms are typically written in the contract. On Lardi-Trans you can find experienced carriers with quality tarpaulins and sealing systems to minimize losses.
What documents are required for grain transport?
In addition to the TTN (form 1-T or SP-31), the driver may need a quarantine certificate, a declaration of conformity, and documents confirming grain quality. During weight-control periods, axle load monitoring is especially important.
Does the service provide its own dump trucks?
No, Lardi-Trans is an aggregator. We provide a platform where the shipper (farmer, trader, builder) finds a transport owner. We ensure partner verification and convenient search, but the actual transport is performed by an independent carrier.
