The grain size determines what material is involved in the gravel and sand transport. The grain size of sand has a diameter of less than 2 mm. Gravel and grit, on the other hand, have grains that are more than 2-63 mm in size. Gravel are rounded stones and grit are sharp-edged broken stones. Rock flour consists of grains with a diameter of less than 0.063 mm.
Regardless of the material, gravel and sand are usually transported as dry bulk. Sand transports can for example be executed by truck, trailer, train, ship, or container. You can find out here what options there are for dry bulk transport.
