ON-FARM PICKUP (WE COORDINATE TRUCKING)

BNCP coordinates farm-gate pickup across Western Canada by aligning trucking lanes, pickup windows, and loadout requirements before the truck moves. Our process is built around one simple idea: written dispatch confirmations and practical checklists so pickup day runs smoothly.

HOW ON-FARM PICKUP WORKS

We keep dispatch simple and predictable. A typical on-farm pickup follows these steps:

1) You submit location, volume, and timing
2) We confirm the trucking lane and pickup window
3) We send a written dispatch confirmation (what’s being picked up, when, and what’s required)
4) You provide safe access and loading availability during the window
5) The load is completed within the scheduled window and paperwork is finalized

WHAT WE CONFIRM BEFORE DISPATCH

Before the truck is dispatched, we typically confirm: Postal code and access notes (yard approach, turning radius, overhead lines, soft spots)
Preferred pickup window (and any constraints)
Loading capability (auger/belt, loading height, rate, and whether Super-B is possible where applicable)
Lot readiness (segregation by lot, bin access, and loadout readiness)
Any special requirements (clean trailer expectation, program notes, documentation) This is the “Western Canada reality check” that prevents most pickup-day issues: access, timing, and loadout readiness confirmed in advance.

PRODUCER LOADOUT CHECKLIST (PRACTICAL, PICKUP-DAY READY)

To keep pickup on schedule, producers usually prepare the following: Clear, safe yard access (firm base, minimized mud/ruts, snow cleared where applicable).
Safe loading area (clear space, no overhead hazards, stable footing for equipment).
Loading equipment ready (and power available if needed).
Grain flowing properly (no bridging, frozen crust, or out-of-condition pockets).
A contact person available during the pickup window.
If weather or yard conditions change (rain, thaw, drifting snow), notify us early. Adjusting the window is easier before dispatch than after the truck is on the road.

TRUCKING AND TRAILER NOTES

Most Prairie grain and specialty crop pickups move in bulk hopper-style equipment. Trailer choice and scheduling are aligned to the lane and your loadout setup. Where applicable, we confirm any practical constraints in advance (yard access, loading height, and turnaround space).

COMMON DISPATCH CONSTRAINTS (WHAT WE PLAN AROUND)

On-farm pickup in Western Canada is seasonal and practical. We plan around:

Spring road bans / weight restrictions
Harvest congestion and truck availability
Rain / thaw conditions affecting yard access
Winter snow and drifting on approaches
Bin issues (bridging, frozen grain, restricted flow)

When you pre-register, we can often align timing and lanes earlier, which reduces last-minute bottlenecks.

DOCUMENTATION ON PICKUP DAY

Pickup day is smoother when paperwork is simple and consistent. We typically work from: A written dispatch confirmation reference
Basic shipment identification (commodity, lot, location)
Required documents or confirmations aligned to the program (when applicable)
