A method for flowing sand out of a trailer, includes charging a brake air tank of the trailer. The method further includes charging an air compression tank with air from the brake air tank. Additionally, the method includes opening a gate of a hopper attached to the trailer, so sand flows out an opening formed by the gate. Moreover, the method includes activating a first air nozzle on the hopper to emit a burst of air from the air compression tank after a first set time period to assist moving the sand. Also, the method includes activating a second air nozzle on the hopper to emit a burst of air from the air compression tank after a second set time period to assist moving the sand. Further, the method includes repeatedly reactivating the first air nozzle and the second air nozzle until the air compression tank is empty.
