Truck and Transfer Explained

A single tractor pulling both a dump body and a transfer trailer — how it works, and where it fits.

A truck-and-transfer is a tractor pulling both a dump body and a pull-behind trailer. The driver dumps the first load, then hydraulically transfers the second load into the first body.

Where it fits

  • Any large single-material load (30 – 40 tons).
  • Bulk aggregate on driveway builds.
  • Contractors staging a full project's material in a single delivery.
