Last Mile Logistics

Sealed sand boxes or containers that are filled at the terminal, hauled by truck, and set on a wellsite delivery system for gravity or conveyor discharge. The closed design limits dust and allows sand to be staged on location without continuous trucking.

Sealed bulk tank trailers that haul dry proppant and discharge it by air pressure into wellsite silos or blenders. They are the conventional last-mile vehicle where containerized systems are not used.

Vertical silos or staging units positioned on the pad to hold a buffer of proppant near the blender. They decouple truck arrival from frac demand and provide surge capacity during high pump rates.

Rail-served sites where unit-train proppant is unloaded, stored, and reloaded onto trucks for the final leg to the wellsite. They serve as the staging hub between mine logistics and last-mile delivery.

Trucking fleets and the dispatch operations that schedule, route, and track loads from terminal to pad. Dispatch coordination matches truck arrivals to real-time blender consumption to avoid both stockout and pad congestion.

Tankers and bulk units that deliver water, gel, acid, and frac chemicals to the wellsite alongside proppant. These loads share the same last-mile road network and staging constraints as sand.

Fleet management and telematics platforms that track loads, monitor terminal inventory, and manage demurrage and driver hours in real time. They give the completions crew visibility into sand-in-transit and time to next delivery.

Enclosures, vents, and dust collection systems used during transfer at the terminal and wellsite to limit respirable silica release. They support compliance with OSHA silica exposure limits during sand handling.
