transportation of articles in buckets (skips)
I think this means the transportation of "bulk" goods (friable material, grain etc.) carried in large trucks, into which the material is simply poured. This is less work than "bucket" runs, in which a truck is loaded with a number of containers of some kind before being ready to depart.
