Bulk Road Transport for Animal Nutrition

News, Our business is evolving

🔄 Transition Underway!

📸 A new line of business at Coué/TRM for the past month, further expanding our range of expertise: bulk tanker transport of animal feed directly to farms.

Bulk transport refers to the delivery of unpackaged goods — that is, cargo shipped in large quantities without individual packaging (no boxes, no pallets). We differentiate between solid bulk (such as grains, aggregates, minerals or fertilizers) and liquid bulk, which requires the use of specialized tankers for products like fuels, food-grade liquids (wine, oils), or industrial effluents.

Bulk animal feed transport is a demanding and precise operation that fits perfectly within our strategy of delivering high-value, quality-driven services.

👍 Many thanks to Glenn for the update, and a warm welcome to our new expert drivers! ☀️
