What is about the weight? I mentioned todays bulk trailers but did not think about the very different weight of cement and e.g. plastic pallets. Covered hoppers are a good example for short cars for cement and the longer ones for grain and the very long for plastic pellets.
The same applies for road trucks. I assume cement bulk trucks had much less volume capacity then grain trucks to deal with the heavy concrete.
I think we should look in the 1950s for bulk trucks much smaller than grain trucks from that time.
