A standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 12 to 16 cubic yards (roughly 13 to 18 tons for fill-dirt depending on moisture). Using local price ranges, a single truckload could cost roughly $130 to $450 delivered to Camden, but we recommend requesting a quote because weight, truck type, and local rates vary.

No — 2 inches of fill-dirt is only suitable for very minor leveling and is not adequate as a driveway subgrade or surface. For driveways you should plan on several inches of compacted engineered fill or base stone plus an appropriate gravel surface; Camden's clay soils also favor good drainage and compaction to avoid settling.

The most cost-effective option is to compare local supplier quotes, order the right volume to meet minimums, and factor delivery cost; Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers so you can compare pricing quickly. Free or very cheap fill sources do appear sometimes (e.g., local construction sites), but those materials may be inconsistent and often require hauling and screening, so get a delivered quote for apples-to-apples comparison.

A typical full-size pickup bed carries about 0.5 to 1 cubic yard of loose fill-dirt, which is roughly 0.6 to 1.2 tons depending on moisture and compaction. For larger projects in Camden it's usually more efficient and economical to order the minimum 3-ton delivery from a dump truck.

One ton of fill-dirt is roughly 0.9 cubic yards, so it will cover about 70 to 75 sq ft at a 4-inch depth, or about 140 to 150 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Adjust your calculations for compaction and settling, and allow extra material if you need to compact or grade the area in Camden's local soil conditions.

If your driveway is 20 ft long by 10 ft wide and you want a 6-inch layer of fill-dirt, you need about 3.7 cubic yards, which is roughly 4 to 4.5 tons. Keep in mind fill-dirt is best used as subgrade; you will likely want compacted base stone and a gravel surface on top, and costs should include delivery and compaction services.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed.
