A single tri-axle dump truck in Gibson typically carries 10 to 16 cubic yards of fill-dirt; delivered prices often fall between $250 and $1,000 depending on load size and distance.

Use 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet: at 1 inch depth one cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft, at 3 inches it covers about 108 sq ft, and at 6 inches about 54 sq ft. So a 10-yard truck covers roughly 1,080 sq ft at 3 inches or 540 sq ft at 6 inches; a 12-yard truck covers about 1,296 sq ft at 3 inches. These are loose volumes — expect some settlement and compaction after placement.

Yes, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is screened earth without organic matter and is intended for grading and raising grade rather than planting. For lawns, gardens, or planting beds in Gibson's soils you should add topsoil or a topsoil mix over the fill for plant health. Order the cheaper fill-dirt when you need bulk material for leveling or backfill, and add topsoil only where vegetation will grow.

Buy in bulk (larger truckloads) and choose standard delivery windows to avoid rush fees. Selecting local suppliers through Hello Gravel reduces haul distance and cost, and opting out of spreading saves driver time and any extra charge. Also consider reusing onsite excavated material if suitable — that can reduce the amount you need to buy.

For small towns in West Tennessee like Gibson, average delivered prices for a standard 10- to 12-yard dump truck load of fill-dirt commonly range from about $300 to $800.

Many full-size pickups can carry roughly 1 cubic yard of loose material in the bed, but payload limits vary by truck model and the weight of damp or clay-rich fill-dirt can quickly exceed safe capacities. Always check your truck's payload rating before loading and consider local weight and road restrictions. For larger jobs, a dump truck delivery through Hello Gravel is an easier and safer option.

A cubic yard of loose fill-dirt in West Tennessee typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.5 tons, depending on moisture content and soil composition (clay-heavy soils weigh more). After compaction the effective weight per cubic yard increases, so tonnage estimates are approximate. If you need precise weight for hauling limits or engineering, ask suppliers for a local bulk density estimate.

Drivers may be able to offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Request spreading in your order notes at checkout; the driver will assess on arrival whether spreading can be done safely. If spreading is required, consider hiring a local landscaper or equipment operator to guarantee finished grade work.
