A coal hauler includes a plurality of ground engaging members, a motivator providing a driving force and a haul body supported on the ground engaging members. The haul body includes a pair of side assemblies, and front and rear haul body assemblies secured to the side assemblies and coupled together in a central portion by a center bulkhead structure with at least one selectively movable door selectively blocking the bottom opening to form a coal hauling chamber. The haul body further includes a plurality of support structures including at least one front support structure secured between each side assembly and the front haul body assembly, and at least one rear support structure secured between each side assembly and the rear haul body assembly. The front and rear support structures reinforce intersections of the front and rear haul body assemblies with the side assemblies along the coal hauling chamber.
