Over-The-Road Regional Drivers

About half of our drivers haul lime in dry, bulk pneumatic trailers with an occasional load of bagged lime in a van. Lime hauling is good for drivers who enjoy occasional physical activity. These are not drop and hook loads, your trailer stays with you. Loading and unloading requires you to be out of the truck to hook/unhook hoses, run blower (unloading only) and watch gauges. This usually takes about 2 hours but can occasionally take longer.

Lime Loads

We haul standard quicklime and hydrated lime to locations mostly in the Central Time Zone as shown on the map.
