Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and access on arrival and may decline if conditions make spreading unsafe. If spreading is important, note it in Order Notes and contact our team ahead of delivery to discuss options.

A 7x14 dump trailer's raw bed volume is about 3.6 to 6+ cubic yards depending on side height and how high you load it. Because gravel is heavy, safe towing weight often limits a full-volume load; for gravel expect roughly 3 to 5 cubic yards to stay within common trailer weight limits. If you plan to haul gravel yourself, check your trailer's payload rating and reduce volume to meet weight limits.
