A first and second dumping trailer set adapted to be pulled by a conventional truck or tractor giving truck drivers the flexibility to haul loads of bulk materials without committing to a standard dump truck. The trailer set comprises a first trailer with means for dumping its contents and a second tow vehicle which may be drawn into the first trailer and dumped therein leveraging the dumping structure and mechanisms of the first trailer. Preferably, the trailer set is jack-knifed for dumping such that loads from the first trailer are deposited generally to the side of the tow vehicle path. A winch or other driving mechanism may be used to draw the mobile dumping body of the tow vehicle into the bed of the first trailer after the tongue has been retracted to substantially close the gap between trailer and tow.
