Uncertainty is the only certainty in trucking Don’t succumb to doom-scrolling analysis that leads to investment paralysis. Mind the signal—not the noise.

“Uncertainty” is in the air.

The new buzzword captured the overarching sentiment at Work Truck Week 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Technology & Maintenance Council’s 2025 annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. And I read it again in ACT Research’s report on the February slowdown in Class 8 truck orders, which ACT research analyst Carter Vieth attributed to “trade and economic policy uncertainty—as the new administration has thrown a wrench into business planning.”

Tariffs are the gravest threat to the trucking industry, particularly for equipment manufacturers with operations in Mexico or Canada. They’re also causing volatility in freight demand and linehaul pricing.

But I’m certain trucking should still feel hopeful about the road ahead.

New EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in March his agency is “reconsidering” its greenhouse gas and NOx emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks in a major shift from EPA’s position under the previous administration. Furthermore, March reports showed declining fuel prices, slowing inflation (through February), and even cheaper eggs. And, closer to home, I see mounting evidence of business resiliency in the tank truck sector.

This issue of Bulk Transporter serves as Exhibits A, B, and C. Unlike recent industry shows and expert opinions, these pages paint a more positive outlook, with three stories highlighting tank truck companies who are expanding their equipment fleets, technology, and facilities in the face of uncertainty. Our cover-story carrier, PAR Trucking in Cicero, Illinois, is navigating the growing pains associated with rapid expansion of its family-owned business (page 12); MLT Transport in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, recently upgraded its transportation management system to M2X’s cloud-native platform for specialized trucking operations (page 16); and Belvidere, Illinois-based Busch Farms now is cleaning out food-grade tankers inside its own brand-new, uptime-boosting wash rack (page 22).

The tank truck industry’s largest players are still advancing their expansion plans on schedule, too.

Kenan Advantage Group continues to build out its new dry bulk transportation services, most recently through the acquisition of Evergreen Transport in Mobile, Alabama; Heniff Transportation Systems recently added a full-service tank cleaning operation in the Port of New Orleans in a deal with Destination Truck and Rail; and Trimac Transportation boosted its dry bulk division with the addition of Valley Bulk in Victorville, California. Combine those telling moves with a second consecutive month of growth in the manufacturing sector in February, according to Institute for Supply Management data, and surging truck tonnage in February that ATA says indicates “the freight recovery has indeed begun,” and it’s reasonable to believe that carriers should maintain the optimism they took into 2025, as recently confirmed by a newly released Bloomberg Intelligence/Truckstop survey.

“While many carriers feel that rates and demand have yet to reach optimal levels, there is growing optimism about the outlook,” said Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg senior freight transportation and logistics analyst.

“We believe the trucking cycle has turned, which should drive better spot and contractual rates, as well as robust earnings for carriers this year.”

My unsolicited advice: Don’t succumb to the daily doom-scrolling analysis that leads to investment paralysis. Information wars, stock-market fluctuations, and hot-take prognostications only create confusion, not clarity.

As Mr. Wonderful says, pay attention to the signal—not the noise.

I’m certain you’ll thank me later. BT

INDUSTRY NEWS

Trimac expands California dry bulk services Trimac Transportation recently acquired Valley Bulk, a dry bulk hauler based in Southern California.

Terms of the transaction, which closed in late 2024, were not disclosed.

The acquisition of the Victorville, California-based business is a pivotal step in aligning the strengths of both organizations to drive future growth and operational excellence, Trimac reported. The partnership enhances Trimac’s footprint in the competitive California bulk market, creating synergies that will increase efficiency, expand market reach, and bolster service offerings in the region.

“The acquisition of Valley Bulk is a natural fit for Trimac as both companies share core values of family, safety, and service,” said Matt Faure, Trimac president and CEO. “By combining our strengths and aligning our cultures, we are better positioned to serve our customers with even greater efficiency and reliability.

“We look forward to the valuable contributions Valley Bulk’s team will bring to the Trimac Family.”

Valley Bulk provides services

across Southern and Central California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Founded in August 1995 by Jim Golson and son Jeff Golson, Valley Bulk started with two trucks primarily hauling clay in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Over the years, the Golson family grew Valley Bulk into a reputable and sizable operation, expanding its fleet to over 50 trucks and 90 trailers, and employing close to 70 people, including operations, dispatchers, and drivers.

“Joining forces with Trimac is a significant step forward for Valley Bulk,” said Jeff, president of Valley Bulk.

“This partnership not only honors the legacy we’ve built but also ensures that our growth will continue under the Double Eagle brand. By aligning with Trimac’s values of family, safety, and service, we are confident that our team and customers will benefit greatly from this exciting new chapter.”

Valley Bulk specializes in hauling a wide range of materials, including cement, fly ash, aggregates, and non-hazardous liquids, using various trailers such as pneumatics and curtain-side flatbeds.

Operating under the closely located Double Eagle Transportation brand, Valley Bulk’s assets and team will contribute to one of the largest dry bulk carriers in California. This move leverages the expertise and resources of both companies, fostering an environment of continuous improvement and high-quality service delivery.

Together, both will benefit from shared best practices, operational efficiencies, and an expanded customer base, Trimac said.

The Golson legacy in trucking is strong. Jim was a pioneer in the dry bulk industry. In 1979, he founded Iron Horse, a company that grew to more than 130 trucks with three terminals across the region before it was sold in the early 1990s. Jeff plans to stay on to help manage Valley Bulk operations with Trimac in the interim.

KAG absorbs Evergreen Transport The Kenan Advantage Group recently acquired Mobile, Alabama-based Evergreen Transport, which specializes in the delivery of dry bulk materials throughout the Southeastern U.S. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

As part of the deal, KAG will welcome approximately 100 professional drivers and 45 operational members and grow its fleet and facilities with an additional 158 tractors, 338 trailers, and four terminal and satellite locations throughout Alabama, the company reported.

The acquisition is KAG’s fourth in the dry bulk segment, which the carrier 8 Bulk Transporter | April/May 2025

entered with the February 2024 purchase of Northern Dry Bulk. KAG added PRM Trucking and XBL Holdings, which includes Xcel Bulk Logistics and XBL Industrial Materials, in November 2024.

“As we continue to strategically build our dry bulk transportation platform, Evergreen Transport is another perfect fit with our growth plan,” Rick Hoyle, KAG executive vice president of dry bulk, said in a news release.

“Their customer-centric business model, along with their diverse end-user markets, complements our current dry bulk operations, which have grown significantly over the last 12 months. We are also inspired

by Evergreen’s truly unique, family-owned history, which captures the entrepreneurial spirit of our industry.”

Evergreen founder Walter Poole entered the transportation industry in 1946.

INDUSTRY NEWS Heniff rebrands food-grade operations

Heniff acquires New Orleans tank wash

The Heniff family of companies plans to rebrand its North American food-grade operations as Heniff Food Grade. The division previously operated as Carry Transit, which Heniff acquired as part of its 2019 purchase of Superior Bulk Logistics.

The rebrand includes a new “viper-blue” logo for food-grade trucks and trailers, Heniff reported.

“As we closed last year with a great deal of M&A activity in the foodgrade space, we felt that a rebrand offered us a great opportunity to integrate those acquisitions under one recognizable service brand,” Bob Heniff, Heniff Transportation Systems founder and CEO, explained in a news release.

“The new Heniff Food Grade operation strengthens our identity under the new name and simplifies our market presence for our many stakeholders.”

Beyond the updated name and logo, the new branding allows Heniff to simplify its organizational structure and solidify its chain of command. It also consolidates the company’s departmental service offerings under one team exclusively focused on safety and service for both external and internal customers across Heniff’s multi-modal network.

The Heniff family of companies recently acquired the assets of a full-service tank wash operation in New Orleans from Destination Truck and Rail.

“This tank wash acquisition strongly complements our existing footprint and varied service offerings in Port NOLA,” Bob Heniff, Heniff Transportation Systems founder and CEO, said in a news release. “Our three proximately located facilities now offer our customers ISO services, transloading, and tank wash capability in one convenient geographic area, which brings great efficiency to their supply chain management.”

The new Total Clean location is fully operational and offers chemical cleaning services for tank trailers, ISO containers, and rail cars. Total Clean plans to develop its food-grade service offering at the facility as well, Heniff reported.

The tank wash facility is located near Heniff’s existing ISO yard and transloading operation in the Port of NOLA, which is the only deep-water port in the United States that is connected to all of the nation’s six Class I railroads.

Quality Carriers earns ‘Best Fleets’ nod Quality Carriers led the way for tank truck fleets in this year’s Best Fleets to Drive For contest, earning a spot on the 2025 Fleets to Watch list.

To be considered for the Photo: Jason McDaniel | Bulk Transporter 2025 Best Fleets program sponsored by CarriersEdge, for-hire carriers with at least 10 tractor-trailers were nominated by a company driver or owner-operator currently working with them. These nominated fleets were then evaluated across a range of categories, including driver compensation and benefits, HR strategies, operations, professional development, and work/life balance. Driver surveys were also conducted to collect input from company drivers and independent contractors to measure their satisfaction working with the fleets.

The results were compiled and scored to help identify the top-performing companies. “This year, the Best Fleets continued to invest in new and creative programs to enhance the workplace experience for drivers,” said Jane Jazrawy, CarriersEdge CEO. “Despite what’s been a tough economy the past couple of years for fleets, the Best Fleets Top 20 and Hall of Fame members have continued to show that the well-being of their drivers remains a top priority.”

The fleets with the highest overall scores are recognized as Best Fleets to Drive For. Fleets receiving the distinction for 10 consecutive years (or seven consecutive years plus an overall winner award) are inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Family-owned carrier navigates industry hazards while expanding operations by Jason McDaniel Tank trucks are in Al Retherford’s blood. His dad, Guy Retherford,

hauled fertilizer, and Al transitioned to transporting bulk chemicals early in his career. But, as an owner-operator at heart, he was happy to stay small—until his son, Brian Retherford, joined PAR Trucking, the family business Al founded in 1991.

“I had a different vision than my dad,” Brian recalled. “He wanted to keep it simple.” Under the leadership of Brian and his wife, Janet Retherford—who purchased the company from Brian’s parents in 2010—PAR, which started with a handful of trucks, now runs a fleet of 46 tractors and over 100 tank trailers that helped the Cicero, Illinoisbased carrier generate $20 million in revenue two years ago. And they’ve continued to expand despite internal and external challenges, including the 2008 recession, Covid-19 pandemic, and emission-controls complications; as well as the growing pains associated with upgrading systems and procedures while preserving a family atmosphere.

“I never imagined PAR would be where it is today,” said Al, who retired in 2011.“I 12 Bulk Transporter | April/May 2025

have to give Brian and Janet credit for the success—and I hope they continue to grow the business for another 35 years.”

Origins and operations Guy, a veteran who previously worked for Greyhound, connected with Transport Service—a Chicago-area fuel hauler that’s now part of Kenan Advantage Group—when it started hauling fertilizers in 1963. Al soon joined him when Transport Service added interstate chemical transportation. Guy went on to open a Transport Service satellite terminal in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Al stayed in Chicago as a company driver until 1971, when he joined Richard’s Motor Service in Stickney, Illinois, to transport heating oil. He purchased his first tractor and set out as an owner-operator

in 1976. “I wanted to keep pursuing the chemical business in the Chicago area, but Richard’s didn’t want to expand into chemicals any further,” Al recalled. “So I applied for intrastate chemical-hauling authority with the Illinois Commerce Commission and started PAR Trucking in 1991.”

Brian, who grew up in trucking, entered the industry as a diesel mechanic in 1987 and joined his father’s business in 1992, a year after Al incorporated PAR, an acronym formed from the first initials of Patricia (Al’s wife), Al, and Retherford. Then Janet, who previously worked for United Airlines, and her son, Kevin D’Ambrosio—Brian’s stepson and now fourth-generation member of the family business—came on during PAR’s first big boom in 2018.

“Between Brian, Kevin, and myself, we started growing the business very quickly,” Janet said.

Matrix Chemical, later acquired by Brenntag, sparked the surge by awarding PAR its growing acetone business.

“We’re still really big with Brenntag,”

occasionally using a specialized broker like TransChem Services in Ohio. “We’re not the cheapest carrier in the book, but we put our heart and soul into meeting our customers’ expectations every single day,” explained Matthew Janiak, PAR’s general manager.

Challenges and opportunities

PAR Trucking services and maintains its 106-tank trailer fleet at its six-bay shop located in Cicero, Illinois, which is less than 5 miles from Chicago Midway International Airport.

The PAR fleet includes stainless-steel and aluminum tank trailers for hauling specialty chemicals and food-grade products.

Brian said. “They’re one of our largest customers.” Citgo is another key customer for PAR, which moves petrochemicals and solvents out of Citgo’s refinery in Lemont, Illinois. Today, PAR transports specialty chemicals and foodgrade products to manufacturers and distributors across the country—with Al and Brian both pulling those tanks for years. Al, now 82, drove locally until 2008, and Brian—who still takes an occasional load—drove over the road full time until 2015.

PAR employs 46 drivers, including 37 owner-operators, and 18 shop and office personnel at its Cicero headquarters, less than 5 miles from Chicago Midway International Airport. PAR opened a small office in Addison in 2010, moved to a Dana Transport-owned facility in Summit in 2011, and their current 3-acre

location in 2019. After remodeling, the 14,000-sq.-ft. leased facility boasts three bays for maintenance and repairs, two for trailer prepping, one for exterior equipment cleaning, and 2,800 sq. ft. of office space.

“Customer service is by far the key to our success, and for any business,” Al said. “Brian has continued that, along with being fair and honest with our owner-operators. They’re the heart of the trucking industry.”

PAR services chemical shippers from coast to coast in the U.S., and into Ontario and Quebec, Canada, with satellite operations in St. Louis, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Barberton, Ohio.

The carrier looks for backhauls when more than 500 miles from home, typically by talking to customers, but

Janiak came to PAR in January 2022 to spearhead the company’s transition to a much larger enterprise, starting with an evaluation of PAR’s people, finances, systems, and safety culture, which he calls the four pillars of a trucking business. “Within the first 15 days, I knew we could do a lot of great things here, and they were open to new ideas,” said Janiak, who previously led transport operations at R.R. Donnelley & Sons and Perishable Distribution Solutions before starting his own consulting business.

“They wanted help with the process of building things out and pushing the company forward. And we’ve had ups and downs as we grow into a larger company, with new fiduciary responsibilities, while managing the human element. As you grow, you want to stay a family, but you need to set boundaries.”

Letting go is the hardest part for D’Ambrosio—who is used to wearing many hats at work.

“When we’re busy, it’s easier to do it yourself,” he said. “I know how to do it, and I know it will get done right. But you only have so many hours in a day, so at some point, doing it all becomes impossible, and you must rely on somebody else. And it’s been a struggle for everybody here to give up some of that control.” To evolve successfully, it’s critical to document procedures, develop a trustworthy team, and empower everyone with advanced decision-making tools—all ongoing processes at PAR. “If you micromanage and keep things compartmentalized, it’s not going to work,” Janiak said.

“Teach people, give them wings, coach them up, and be there for them.”

Janiak’s goal is to optimize operations by using data, starting with PAR’s Prophesy dispatch software. PAR April/May 2025 | BulkTransporter.com 13

COVER STORY ■ PAR Trucking

PAR is growing, but leaders are determined to maintain its family atmosphere, which includes Lucy conducting the occasional meeting.

considered selecting a new transportation management system, but Janiak advised against it, so the team instead opted to maximize their current system with new customer and technology integrations, including PAR’s Samsara electronic logging devices (ELDs) and forward-facing cameras. “I’ve been through multiple system implementations over the years, and you need time and resources, as well as training, which costs a lot of money,” he said.

“So we decided to reevaluate the system we have, open it up, and see what it really offers. Come to find out, it works pretty well.”

PAR also is in the process of purchasing previously leased equipment, securing California Air Resources Board credentials for emissions compliance testing, and growing its pool of company drivers—all with an award-winning eye on safety.

Drivers and training In April 2024, PAR hired Charity Benevelli-Zaczek as its director of safety and compliance, a position PAR created three years ago in consultation with its insurance provider, Great West Casualty Company. “It’s nice having somebody who’s passionate about safety, and making sure we do things right, because when you’re in operations mode, it’s easy 14 Bulk Transporter | April/May 2025

PAR specs trailers with Michelin X Line Energy T and Bridgestone R123 Ecopia tires, and avoids super singles.

to let other things fall by the wayside,” D’Ambrosio said.

Benevelli says she walked into a good situation, with safety-focused leadership, highly trained drivers, and well-maintained equipment, and she’s only elevated their performance, helping PAR win its first Merit award with a 0.780 accident frequency in National Tank Truck Carriers’ 2024 Competitive Safety Contest in February. PAR also claimed a Grand award in NTTC’s 2023 Personnel Safety Contest, and Great West safety awards in nine of the last 10 years, including six Platinum honors.

“It shows we take safety seriously,” she said. “And it’s nice to see operations and safety on the same page.

“That’s not always the case.”

Training typically takes less than a week because PAR only hires drivers with tank and hazmat endorsements, a TWIC card, and at least two years of tanker experience and three years of overall driving experience. Benevelli transmits paperwork via DocuSign before Day 1, which includes basic orientation, video courses, and staff meetings. Day 2 features a state-mandated road test. Under Benevelli’s direction, PAR recently adopted DriverReach for driver qualification files; and it’s in the process of implementing Infinit-I’s trackable training system.

PAR pays drivers by load percentage.

It also offers matching 401K contributions for company drivers, and bonuses for clean inspections and referrals—and treats everyone like family, providing additional resources and assistance where possible. “Having been a driver, Brian gets it,” Janet said. “So a lot of drivers come to us through word of mouth.”

But finding qualified long-haul drivers still isn’t easy, so PAR recently enlisted EmployBridge’s help. “The problem we’re having is most company-driver candidates want to run local,” Benevelli said.

“They want to work dayshifts and stay home nights and weekends “But we need drivers who are willing to be more regional.”

Recruiting challenges are another reason it’s critical to maintain elite vehicles—they’re rolling billboards for prospective drivers.

“We’ve always thrived on clean, reliable equipment,” Janet said.

Equipment and maintenance PAR runs 106 stainless-steel and aluminum tankers. Most are single-compartment units from Brenner, now part of Wabash. “We’ve been buying tanks from Brenner since 1995,” Brian said.

“We have a great relationship with those guys.” Multi-compartment trailers are Brenners and Heils. The trailing fleet

includes insulated and non-insulated stainless-steel trailers, and aluminum trailers with payload capacities up to 50,000 lbs. PAR also runs five Koshercertified, food-grade tank trailers and 10 drop-frame chassis with lift kits from Pratt Industries, Chassis King, and Dragon for transporting ISO tanks.

Tank trailers are equipped with valves from Betts Industries, venting and ground-level vapor recovery from Girard Equipment, and hoses in a variety of diameters and lengths.

New trailers also are spec’d with Hendrickson air-ride suspensions and tire inflation systems, air disc brakes, pump-off lines, and Samsara tracking devices, further boosting driver safety and convenience. Tires are a mix of Michelin X Line Energy Ts and Bridgestone R123 Ecopias. “We used to run super singles, but we had too many problems with irregular wear and blown tires,” Brian relayed.

PAR regularly refurbishes and upgrades trailers, and the shop keeps them in tip-top condition. “Drivers appreciate nice equipment,” Brian said. “So if a trailer is dented, I want it repaired quickly, and looking how it’s supposed to look.”

Company tractors are primarily Kenworths and Peterbilts with APSCO Thermaflow hydraulic coolers, Blackmer sliding vane pumps, and Mouvex or Gardner Denver compressors with high CFM ratings for faster unloading.

Every PAR truck is equipped with a forward-facing Samsara camera. “It isn’t negotiable,” Brian said.

PAR handles HM-183 trailer inspections, fabrication, preventative maintenance, accessory installations, and minor vehicle repairs; and outsources major jobs to keep trucks on the road.

But D’Ambrosio continues to weigh the cost of fixing trucks vs. buying new units as PAR grows its power fleet. “At some point, it isn’t worth it to keep repairing equipment,” he said. “And it’s tough when you’re trying to bring on new company drivers.

“A lot of them want to drive new trucks, so that’s a real selling point.”

Al Retherford entered the tank truck industry in the 1960s and set out as an owner-operator hauling chemicals in 1976. He founded PAR Trucking in 1991 and continued to drive until 2008. Al sold PAR to his son and daughter-in-law in 2010 and retired in 2011. He now lives in Phoenix, Arizona.

Company tractors are Kenworths and Peterbilts spec’d with APSCO Thermaflow hydraulic coolers, Blackmer sliding vane pumps, and Mouvex or Gardner Denver compressors.

Family and friends Associations are assisting PAR’s expansion. The carrier is a long-time member of the Illinois Trucking Association, and Brian and Janet are increasing their participation with NTTC in search of networking, best practices, and market insights that accelerate growth amid what they see as improving conditions for chemical and intermodal transportation. “We want to keep growing, so we’re always looking for new opportunities,” Brian said.

Texas is one potential target for satellite expansion. PAR’s leaders also want to find a new, permanent headquarters, and enter new bulk-logistics verticals,

like packaging, warehousing, or commercial tank cleaning. “We want to pursue steady, responsible growth,” D’Ambrosio said. “If we add drivers slowly, as we add trucks, it will work out better, because a lot of companies are constantly recruiting, and then drivers are sitting around unhappy. We want to make sure trucks are rolling and everybody’s happy.”

And they will be—as long as PAR sustains the small-company spirit Al inspired.

New Zealandbased M2X teamed with MLT Transport to help it develop its TMS software for dairy haulers in the U.S. Photo: MLT

Dairy hauler adopts cloud-native transportation management system tailored for specialized operations

by Jason McDaniel

Curt LaLone knows milk. The president of Mount Pleasant, Michigan-based MLT Transport is a fourth-generation dairy hauler.

His great grandfather, Leo LaLone, started hauling canned milk in 1929; Curt’s grandfather, Morval LaLone, transitioned the family to bulk-milk transportation; and Curt and his father, Cornell LaLone, broke off MLT—formed in 1989 as the over-the-road division of Morval LaLone Trucking—as a separate farm pick-up operation in 1997. Today, MLT transports nearly 4 million pounds of milk from farm to factory everyday using 87 trucks and 128 tank trailers.

In short: Curt’s got milk. Technology, however, is a different animal.

“I’m a trucker in a trucking family,” Curt said. “I know how to move milk like nobody’s business. I also know TMS systems can make our jobs much easier now—but computers are not my forte.”

That’s why MLT still used pens, paper, spreadsheets, and mental math to schedule collections and dispatch drivers until meeting the exceptional team from M2X, the provider of a cloud-native transportation management system (TMS) 16 Bulk Transporter | April/May 2025

tailored for specialized fleets, including milk and fuel haulers. “They’re not computer guys who act like you don’t know anything,” Curt quipped. Critically for LaLone, they gave him the chance to “drive the vehicle” before buying it.

“We test drove a few others in the past, but none of the legacy TMS providers, who focus more on the freight side, could grasp the farm-pickup inventories we keep,” he lamented. “It’s too complex. So we couldn’t easily make those systems work for what we wanted to do.

“M2X is the only company that showed interest in letting us help build the system.”

Farm-forward technology firm Andrew Wallace and Rob Mandeno, a farmer with a banking background, started M2X in 2015 in Auckland, New Zealand, with the goal of using advanced technology to digitize and optimize complex agricultural operations, starting with livestock movements from farms to processing plants. “New Zealand’s pretty much one big farm that produces large amounts of meat and dairy exported around the world,” said Senja McCloy, M2X chief product officer based in Aukland. “So they saw a lot of scenarios in which trucks were running around empty or partially loaded, because they stop at a lot of farms, and coordinating the work was complicated. And the more they dove into it, the more they understood the planning challenges, and how manual they were to solve.

“There wasn’t a technology out there that provided a solution because there are constraints specific to agriculture and livestock that most technology companies aren’t interested in solving.”

TECHNOLOGY ■ M2X × MLT After several years of research and development, M2X went live with Silver Fern Farms, New Zealand’s largest meat processor, which operates a network of 200 trucking firms. “They digitized all their paper-based processes, removed Excel spreadsheets, and reduced all the phone calls and manual work; and then they rolled out our optimization technology to automate the scheduling of all inbound livestock into their plants across all their carriers, which now saves them about 15% of their total mileage across the network each year,” McCloy said.

M2X next targeted dairy haulers, and quickly onboarded Open Country Dairy, New Zealand’s largest independent dairy manufacturer. The company now serves businesses across five key verticals: Livestock, dairy, liquid and dry bulk, general freight, and energy, the newest segment, where M2X already assists several large fuel haulers in New Zealand and Australia. Today, M2X enjoys “strong market penetration” in New Zealand, with about 500 haulers using the system—including 95% of the livestock-hauling market—and Australia, where 65% of dairy flows move through M2X’s multi-tenant, software-as-a-service platform.

“The way we’ve approached industry is to provide transportation management software that also functions as an ecosystem for their entire supply chain to work together digitally,” McCloy said. “So our system includes different applications purpose-built for each stakeholder.”

M2X entered the U.S. in 2021. The fast-growing global technology firm now has 70 employees and offices in Auckland; Melbourne, Australia; Denver, Colorado; and Atlanta, Georgia.

“We’ve got a great team that’s hungry to solve difficult problems—which is to our customers’ benefit.”

TECHNOLOGY ■ M2X × MLT into the U.S. market. Like their approach back home, they started with livestock haulers after recruiting Shannon Treichel, a Texas native who started her ag-focused career in animal pharmaceuticals. M2X now serves Caviness Beef Packers, Beef Northwest Feeders, Foote Cattle Company, and Preferred Beef Group.

MLT was M2X’s first dairy and tank truck customer in the U.S. Their teams met at the International Milk Haulers Association’s 2022 convention in Lubbock, Texas, where the M2X team went to research the idiosyncrasies associated with U.S. dairy operations, and identify a collaborator who could help tailor their TMS for American milk haulers. “We are very selective in terms of who we partner with,” Hornabrook said. “We wanted someone who was representative of the market, but also actively looking to improve their processes. For us, that was Curt and his team at MLT Transport.

“They’ve been a great partner—and massively influential in terms of how the product has evolved.”

M2X and MLT began working together in September 2023, and MLT went live on the platform in April 2024. MLT now uses M2X’s advanced software to monitor customer inventories, forecast demand, auto-generate farm pick-up schedules, and track loads in real time, all of which optimizes operations while reducing human error. “It cut down on our dispatch time tremendously,” said Curtis Cross, MLT dispatcher and HR manager. “Now we can build plans far more efficiently.” Easily digested information, like bills of lading and pinpoint delivery details, streams seamlessly out to drivers through M2X’s driver app, which drivers use to quickly transmit data back to office personnel, accelerating “order-to-cash” settlement.

Most importantly, LaLone credits the platform for enabling MLT’s expansion.

“I knew the way we were doing things wasn’t going to last. We just couldn’t keep up,” LaLone said. “Since implementing M2X, we’ve grown exponentially—and we’ve only been able to do that because 20 Bulk Transporter | April/May 2025

we streamlined processes substantially since coming on board with them.”

System implementation LaLone was eager to make a change—as soon as he found a workable solution.

Other small to medium-sized carriers are hesitant because implementing a new TMS requires considerable time and resources. But decision paralysis is the antithesis of forward-thinking management.

“The biggest challenge we run into is a non-decision,” Treichel said.

“Change is hard, technology change can be harder, and getting your people to adopt modern technologies, and like them, can feel impossible. But once they get through it, we know they’ll be happy.”

The adoption process begins with an in-depth cost-benefit analysis, which includes quantifying pain points and comparing current processes to M2Xoptimized outcomes to illustrate return on investment. “Our onboarding process starts with mobilizing our project team,” Hornabrook said. “We’ve gone through initial discovery at that point,

so we understand the fit. Then it’s more about the products they’ll be using, elements associated with system configuration, and integrating with other software, such as telematics, payroll, and accounting.”

M2X’s implementation team leads customers through the transition, provides user-acceptance training, and identifies a “super user,” or internal advocate, who helps co-workers embrace the system.

The subscription-based service also includes an account manager, technical support, and regular software updates.

“We can get ahold of Harry any time of the day,” Cross said. “He’s always on it.

And if he can’t help, he’ll find somebody who can.”

The M2X-MLT collaboration is ongoing. MLT still is fine-tuning how managers and dispatchers utilize the system; and M2X is building out mapping capabilities, expanding technology integrations with customers and vendor partners, and preparing its all-inclusive

supply chain ecosystem to house MLT’s growing refrigerated division. “Many businesses have multiple trucking segments, and they want one transport management system to cover their entire operation,” McCloy said.

As Treichel affirms, they’re “not afraid of complex problems.” That’s why the company continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Midwest Dairy Transport, another Michigan-based milk hauler, now runs on M2X, and the company expect the first two U.S.-based fuel haulers to go live on the intuitive platform in the second quarter of 2025. “U.S. growth is a huge priority for our ownership,” McCloy said. “So that’s a big focus for us, in terms of where we’re investing our time and development resources.”

LaLone is convinced tank truckers will reap the rewards. He knows bulk hauling—and believes M2X customizes transportation technology for specialized operations like nobody else’s TMS

TANK CLEANING ■ Busch Farms

Busch Farms began cleaning tank trailers at its new facility last July.

Illinois-based food-grade hauler optimizes operations with its new in-house wash rack

by Jason McDaniel

Busch Farms hauls edible oils, sweeteners, and chocolates in 80 food-grade tank trailers.

Busch Farms didn’t run any tank trailers eight

years ago. Today, the Belvidere, Illinois-based business hauls edible oils, sweeteners, chocolate, and other food-grade products in 80 stainless-steel tank trailers—which all need regular cleaning to continue running down the road.

And the best way to ensure uptime is with an always-available in-house tank wash.

22 Bulk Transporter | April/May 2025

Of course, designing and building a tank-cleaning facility comes with challenges, including permitting, system selection, and the substantial investment required. But for Busch Farms owner Mike Busch, the benefits far outweighed the costs—particularly when it came to protecting his company’s growth potential. “We had to take control,” Busch said. “We needed a go-to location, a default facility we could rely on, because food-grade is a tight-knit market, and a lot of carriers own these tank washes.

“So I wanted to make sure I secured our place at the dinner table.”

Busch and his team decided to move forward with the project during the construction of the company’s new shop, so they doubled the facility’s size, settled on a system in late 2021, and finally started cleaning tanks in July 2024, saving Busch Farms time and money, improving uptime and driver satisfaction, and sending a clear message to customers and competitors. “We’re here to stay,” Busch said. “We’re not just a trucking company. We have the resources to deliver safe, reliable service.”

The carrier Busch entered the bulk industry by accident. An entrepreneur with businesses in multiple industries, including farming, he formed Busch Farms in 2010 as an agricultural operation, so he already had the name, the trucks— which he used for hauling hopper and dump trailers—and the desire to seize new opportunities. “My sister-in-law worked for an ethanol producer, and she was telling me on Thanksgiving in 2017 she had excess corn syrup she needed to get rid of,” Busch recalled. “I knew nothing about hauling liquids. I didn’t have a tanker endorsement on my CDL; I didn’t even own a tanker at the time. But I said, ‘I’ll take it.’ She said, ‘You will?’ and I said, ‘Yeah—but you’re going to pay me.’

“That was a Thursday, and Monday morning she called and said, ‘Where do you want it?’”

An insightful conversation with the driver who delivered the corn syrup convinced Busch to buy his first tank trailers in January 2018, and soon after he won his first loads with CHS. Today, the converted tank truck carrier employs 70 people between its Chicago-area headquarters and five satellite locations all dedicated to transporting sweeteners, edible oils, and other liquid food-grade products across the U.S. and into Canada for leading food manufacturers like ADM, Cargill, and Primient. “We decided to keep using the Busch Farms name because everybody wants to work for a farmer,” Busch quipped.

Busch Farms’ fleet includes 48 company-owned Peterbilt and International trucks, 10 owner-operator trucks, and 80 tankers, including dedicated Kosher and non-food-grade trailers. Most of the trailing fleet, including 15 tankers purchased last year, comes from STE, which opened a new plant in January in Beloit, Wisconsin. “They’re close, they’re easy to work with, and they have a nice product, so we’re very happy with them.”

Critically, the operation also boasts plenty of land for tank-cleaning activities.

The Belvidere location encompasses 180 acres, with much of it designated for growing corn, soybeans, and wheat. Busch set aside a 15-acre tract for the combined tank wash and shop facility and tapped The Peacock Company to supply the wash equipment after seeing its single-pass system while touring wash facilities. “We thought it would be more turnkey with less maintenance, and easier to work with, vs. a boiler-powered system,” explained Chris Willis, Busch Farms equipment manager.

TANK CLEANING ■ Busch Farms your own trailers makes your fleet more efficient.”

The new 32,000-sq.-ft., Amish-built building features eight bays—four for truck and trailer maintenance and minor repairs, and four for cleaning.

Busch Farms currently operates only two wash bays (one food-grade, one non-food-grade) but the other two are pre-plumbed for easy expansion. “Our plan is to eventually have a designated sweetener bay, and then we’ll probably add an ag bay or additional food-grade bay, and use our non-food-grade bay for non-hazardous and ag products,” Busch said.

Cleaning equipment includes Peacock’s Model 660 internal tank cleaning unit and Model 3126 exterior pressure washer. The 660 is a complete stainless-steel system that includes the frame, tanks, piping, and coil. “It’s a high-pressure, low-volume unit that runs at 600 psi with 32 gallons per minute at the spinner head,” McMas said. “The system has a 4.2 million-btu burner that allows for on-demand heating without the need for additional boilers or holding tanks. Wash temperatures of 200-plus degrees allow for Kosher certification, while meeting the standards of countless other food-grade cleans.”

Busch Farms runs most of its washes at 210 degrees Fahrenheit but can steam trailers at 300 degrees F to eliminate stubborn residue, and dual spinners provide complete cleaning coverage.

“They spin 360 degrees in both directions, and we run them slow. So they’re spinning slowly, but the pressure is very high,” Willis said. “That way it covers the entire interior and breaks down all the heavy buildup.”

The expandable system currently includes vats for detergent and sanitizer. A PLC-powered controller sits atop a double-sided Darlington Dairy safety rack that is taller than a standard rack, ensuring it won’t bump into a trailer when folded down. The facility, designed with help from Ceroni Piping and Jake’s Electric, also features in-floor heating, spray-in insulation, and stainless-steel drains; and essential safety 24 Bulk Transporter | April/May 2025

equipment includes air-quality monitors, harnesses, and custom ladders for tank entries.

“We have no regrets,” Willis said.

“We might adjust a few things at a new location, but for what we have, and what we’ve accomplished, we’re very happy.”

The conveniences Permitting wasn’t a problem for Busch Farms, largely because of how the company is able to dispose of its non-hazardous wastewater—on its own farmland.

It already was mixing heel with manure and applying it to fields without actively growing crops. Now it’s doing the same with rinse water, deterring contamination and saving money. “That’s what saves us at our facility,” Willis said.

“We go through a lot of water, so if we were dumping it down the city drain, and paying by the gallon, we’d probably have to reuse the water.

“But for us, it’s a really like a source of fertilizer.”

Heel disposal was the largest expense at third-party facilities, especially when it came to chocolate, Willis added.

“That’s what pushed us into building a tank wash,” he said. “A lot of tank washes won’t even handle chocolate.”

Prohibitive availability and costs previously led Busch Farms employees to begin washing out chocolate heel by hand—before sending trailers out for an “official” cleaning. “We don’t have to do that anymore, which is great,” White said. “It also saves us a lot of time.”

Creating wash recipes is faster, too.

The Peacock system arrives with programmed cleaning combinations, but entering new ones takes only a few minutes, White said. Creating a wash ticket is equally expeditious. The process begins with entering a trailer’s identifier and ends with inputting the seal numbers. White then doublechecks completed printouts. Most washes take 15-30 minutes, with 10-15 minutes to dry. “The system is very user friendly,”

White said. “It doesn’t take long to learn the basics.”

Busch Farms now cleans up to 15 tank trailers per day on weekdays and Saturday mornings, ensuring drivers remain happy and productive. Instead of idling at thirdparty facilities, they drop a dirty trailer, hook up a clean one, and quickly return to the road. “They love it,” White said. “And they tell us they notice a big difference in the cleanliness of our trailers compared to the other places they visit.”

Most importantly, Busch is equally appreciative of his new tank cleaning facility.

The company can prepare trailers in advance; react swiftly to unanticipated complications, like schedule changes, equipment failures, and the rare rejection—and capitalize on opportunities to expand food-grade services whenever they arise. “Having our own in-house tank wash is a life saver,” Busch said.

“It gives us the ability to execute when we need to execute.” BT
