An improved conveyor system, designed particularly for unloading bulk cargo, such as refuse, from a tractor-trailer type transporter. The conveyor system traverses the full length of the trailer cargo-box floor and includes at least a pair of endless chains arranged in parallelism, each chain being affixed to a plurality of cleat members that are affixed in a predetermined space relationship to each other, the cleats being arranged along only one-quarter of the total continuous length of the chains; and wherein the cleats are positioned along the rear half of the cargo box floor when loading refuse therein, whereby the rear half of the refuse is unloaded first, followed by the forward half of the refuse.
