Pulp

The mill my father worked at, would ship pulp to another mill in a bundle that was roughly 4 ft x 4 ft x 4 ft.  The bundle was make up of 4 ft by 4 ft "sheets" of dried pulp that were banded together for shipping.

It was shipped by a boat.  A boxcar would be the likely car used.  It would be loaded and unloaded by hand with a cart. Or the Mill could have a fork lift.

Pulp Hauling

I worked around a number of Pulp mills who shipped out various types of pulp to paper mills.

All of the pulp going to paper mills was transferred on pallets and loaded into box cars. On rare occasions I saw pulp loaded pallets being loaded into trailers, however, that was not very often.

Unloading

Looks like they are going to launch that truck.

Hey, it's on topic.

Pulp

Yeah, but the question was about pulp, not woodchips.

Pulp is an intermediate processed product. As noted above, it's shipped in large bales in boxcars.

Looks kinda like this:

Thanks to all:

From your replies, the pulp could be shipped in sheets banded together and stacked on a pallet or in 1' square cubes on a pallet. And the Youtube reference also gve me some ideas for woodchip loading as well.
