A one-piece folding auger system for use with a bulk material tender using an elongated auger having its end mounted to a first device by a first pivotal mount that allows the auger to rotate forward and backward by way of a hydraulic cylinder. The first device is then mounted for rotation at the rear of a vehicle with a second pivotal mount that allows the auger to rotate vertically by way of a second hydraulic cylinder. The multi-axis pivoting includes the first pivotal mount cooperatively, and at times simultaneously, pivoting both with the second pivotal mount and about its axis of rotation to pivot the auger between its stowed position in which the auger extends substantially parallel and adjacent to the vehicle and its discharge position in which the auger extends upwardly and laterally away from the vehicle for a side discharge of bulk material within a hopper on the vehicle. When in the discharge position the auger's inlet communicates with the receptacles at the bottom end of the truck or trailer with a dust-tight connection.
