Thanks for clarifying Dean. My Dad used to work as an over-the-road trucker and he hauled Gypsum a lot. The tanker trailer that I was referring to was what you described, but he also hauled Gypsum in open dump-bed trailers with tarps over them. <br /> <br />The loads would be brought up to the cement plants from the Gypsum mines. He also used to haul silica sand in the same tanker/hopper trailers. According to Dad, they mostly haul the gypsum by rail now, since rail cars can hold more than tractor-trailers. They are also faster with arrivals. <br /> <br />-Wolv33
