What you’ll hear
In this special episode of the BulkLoads Podcast, Jared Flinn and Tyler Allison welcome Dominic Antonini from Wilkins Trailers to explore the design, functionality, and market growth of walking floor trailers—one of the most versatile tools in bulk freight transportation. Recorded during the holiday season, this conversation dives into how Wilkins started from a small Kansas shop and grew into a major manufacturer with operations in both Kansas and Pennsylvania.
Dominic shares how walking floor trailers are revolutionizing the hauling of mulch, compost, feed, litter, and even palletized freight thanks to their hydraulic unloading systems, superior cleanout, and high-volume capacity. The episode also highlights Wilkins’ custom trailer builds, tarp solutions through Tarps Unlimited, and why their trailers are trusted by bulk haulers nationwide.
Whether you're transporting ag commodities, wood chips, or need flexibility between loads, this episode breaks down the mechanical and operational advantages of walking floors compared to hoppers, belt trailers, and end dumps.
