A material storage and transfer system includes a material carrier assembly, discharge valves, a transport conduit, and an air blower. The material carrier assembly includes a framework and compartments. The framework includes locking apertures to attach to a trailer platform of the traction vehicle and to attach to another material carrier assembly. The compartments are positioned within the framework and stores a material for transport. The discharge valves, comprising pneumatic valves and gravity valves, attached to the bottom of each compartment, and the transport conduit in communication with the discharge valves receive the material, where one end of the transport conduit is connected to an air blower and an opposing end is defined as a discharge end. The air blower blows air through the transport conduit to extrude the material received within the transport conduit through the discharge end towards an external storage device or an external process.
