Bulk is where FMC's certifications earn their keep. The same operator can move animal feed from a Cork mill on Monday, aggregate to a building site on Tuesday, and food-grade flour to a bakery on Wednesday — without compromising the chain of custody on any of them.
Most Irish bulk hauliers specialise. You hire a feed-only operator, or an aggregate-only operator, or a quarry tipper. You don't usually get all three under one roof — let alone one that's TASCC-certified, Department of Agriculture licensed, and HACCP-compliant across the full range.
FMC was one of the first hauliers in Cork to achieve TASCC certification and has held it ever since. For food and feed customers, that's not a marketing badge — it's an audit-ready paper trail every load.
TASCC — the Trade Assurance Scheme for Combinable Crops — is the certification that lets bulk freight legally enter the food and feed chain. Most Irish hauliers don't carry it. We've held it for years.
TASCC certification covers the entire chain of custody for grain, feed, and food-grade product — driver training, trailer cleaning protocols, loading and unloading procedure, contamination prevention, and full traceability documentation on every load.
For a feed mill, food producer, or grain merchant, TASCC isn't optional. Their own customers — supermarkets, food brands, livestock buyers — require the chain to be certified end-to-end. A non-certified haulier breaks the chain.
FMC operates full TASCC cleaning protocols between loads. Trailer condition is logged, contamination prevention procedures are followed to scheme standard, and the documentation backs up every movement.
Dry bulk only — no liquids. Tipping trailer fleet, cleaned between loads. The full agricultural, construction, and food-grade range.
Wheat, barley, oats, maize. Harvest movements, mill collections, port to store.
Compound feed and raw materials. Mill to farm, mill to mill, port to mill.
Bagged or bulk fertiliser to co-ops, merchants, and direct-to-farm.
Sand, gravel, stone. Quarry collections, building site delivery, civils projects.
Sugar, malt, oilseed. Movements that require TASCC-certified chain of custody.
Every load logged. TASCC paperwork available on request. Audit-ready end to end.
Bulk haulage runs the length of the country — Cork to Donegal, Wexford to Galway. The yard sits in Grange, Ovens, on the N22 corridor, with quick access to the M8 north and the Cork Port terminals south.
The fleet is sized for nationwide work. Every truck on Samsara — live GPS, ETA visibility, dashcam — so customers track loads in real time, not by phone call.
Procurement teams running RFQs for food, feed, or agricultural product need certifications that survive an audit. Generic ISO is table stakes. TASCC, HACCP, and Department of Agriculture licensing are the ones that actually matter.
FMC carries all three, plus ISO 9001 and ISO 45001, and has done for years. Certificates available on request — not as PDFs found in someone's archive, but as live, current, audit-ready documentation.
