Transporting peat and avoiding liquefaction

[GeologyRocks]

Hi!

Does anyone have any experience in transporting excavated peat? We are having difficulty doing so as it tends to liquefy in the back of the dumper truck effectively turning into a peat soup. Any tips would be hugely appreciated!

Would you be able to dewater before excavation?
Or maybe stockpile it and let it drain before moving it in dumpers?

Many specs require truck boxes sealed. Spilling mud on roads is not a good idea around here.

Have you thought of different haulers, such as off road rock haulers?

More specifics please? Haul length, etc....
