Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks for residential deliveries in West Mississippi, which usually carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose. Actual capacity can change with the truck type, how the material is loaded, and whether the driver needs to leave extra room for spreading. If you need an exact number for scheduling or coverage, ask your delivery contact when you place the order.

Common add-on charges in Columbus include small-access or tight-site fees, stair carry or extra labor if the truck can’t get close, and special dumping fees for protected surfaces or matting; tailgate spreading is available at drivers discretion and may not be free. Street-blocking, permit fees, or city requirements for curb-side dumping can add costs too. Ask about potential access charges when you request a quote so you won’t be surprised on delivery day.

Fill dirt is usually the least expensive per cubic yard and is best for bulk grading and raising low spots, but it is not a good structural base for driveways. Crushed stone costs more but provides a stable, well-draining base that we recommend for driveways; sand falls between the two and is useful for leveling and drainage in specific applications. Pick material based on function: use fill dirt for volume and grading, crushed stone for structural base, and sand only where specified for the project.

Hello Gravel has a website minimum of 3 tons per order, and many local suppliers set similar small-order minimums; in practice, 2 cubic yards may be below the practical minimum or carry a higher per-yard delivery fee. Small jobs often cost more per yard because the truck and delivery fee are nearly the same as for larger jobs; if you only need a couple yards, consider pickup at a local supplier or combining nearby jobs to lower the per-yard cost.
