Request Agri-Bulk TMS DemoSlope Sweep & Blowout
Open bottom traps completely. Use an air lance or industrial broom to sweep downward from top rails, gusset plates, and center divider walls.
Trap Door Ledge Clear
Cycle trap gears back and forth to dislodge kernels lodged in roller channels and rack gears. Inspect rubber wiper blades for wear or cracking.
Moisture Tarp Inspection
Inspect roll tarp fabric for tears, loose tension stops, and front/rear hood seal integrity. Water intrusion ruins grain and leads to whole-load rejection.
Digital BOL Crop Sign-Off
Driver captures timestamped photo inside both hoppers and logs previous bill of lading in the Exspeedite mobile app for proof of USDA compliance.
