Deere Mack Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hello....As most of you know I just bought a dump for my excavation business. I'm curious what most are getting for a load of fill dirt or chert and what size of a load goes with that price. Looks like most local hauls around here are getting around $8 yard. Help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35069-load-of-dirt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Be thankful anybody wants to pay for the fill. Up here you can't give fill away. Usually have to pay to get rid of it.

earthmover Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah very tough to find a free spot to dump dirt here let alone get some one to pay for it. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35069-load-of-dirt/#findComment-237850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere Mack Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I appreciate everyone's input. Things are different in my area. Most of the material below the topsoil is suitable for a decent compaction, some better than others. It also depends on if there's an engineer involved...lol The price range here varies from $7 - $14 a cy. The big contract jobs get better than that sometimes. Of course, it can be moved onsite a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35069-load-of-dirt/#findComment-237908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I charge $85.00 for a triaxle load here in town in Eastern Arkansas. We're in the Mississippi delta down here, and alluvial top soil is easy to come by. Once you get up in the Ozarks and it gets rocky, clean topsoil fetches upwards of $200.00, or so I've heard.
