It is a hopper style trailer. It is loaded from the top And unloads from the center of the bottom thru doors or "gates". The gates are air controlled rams by electric switches inside the truck. The gates open away from the centerline of the trailer. Cup your hands with pinky fingers together then rotate your hands towards your thumbs, that would simulate the motion of the gates.
