Jobsite & Hauling Equivalents

~9 Wheelbarrows (3 ft³)

~3 Pickup Loads (½ ton)

1 Dump Trucks (12 yd³)

🚚 Delivery Logistics & Dump Truck Loads Recommended option

– 1/2-Ton Pickup (1.5 yd³ max)

– Single-Axle Dump (5–6 yd³)

– Tandem Dump (10–12 yd³)

– Tri-Axle Dump (15–18 yd³)

⚠️ Delivery tip: Commercial dump trucks require ~10 ft width clearance and 14 ft overhead clearance for bed tipping.

Gravel (loose) settles and spreads unevenly, so the 10% allowance covers it. Suppliers sell by the yard or the ton; figures are estimates.
