Hello Gravel deliveries are usually made by tri-axle or similar dump trucks that commonly carry about 10 to 16 tons of fill-dirt, but capacity varies by truck and local limits. If you need a precise truck size or a partial load, request details when you order so we can match a supplier and truck to your job.

No. Two inches of fill-dirt is too thin for a driveway base and will compress and move under traffic. Fill-dirt is typically used to raise grade or fill low spots, but driveways generally require several inches of well-compacted base material (often 4-8 inches of compacted fill or gravel) plus a suitable surface material.

Buying in larger quantities lowers the per-ton cost, and choosing standard delivery windows (2+ business days) usually avoids extra fees. Because Hello Gravel works with local suppliers in West Tennessee, you can compare quotes for regional materials and schedule delivery to minimize hauling and handling charges.

A typical full-size pickup bed will carry roughly 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard of fill-dirt, which is about 0.6 to 1.4 tons depending on moisture and soil type. Exact capacity depends on your truck model and whether you load to the top of the bed; check local regulations about safe loads and weight limits.

Coverage depends on depth. Use this method: cubic yards needed = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, and a ton of fill-dirt is roughly 0.8 to 0.9 cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, one ton will cover about 200 to 260 square feet at 1 inch depth; adjust for your desired depth and compaction.

It depends on the driveway width and how much you need to add. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway filled 4 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards (around 3.0 to 3.5 tons), so Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum often covers small leveling jobs like this.

Yes. Many West Tennessee soils include clay and silt that settle with moisture changes, so compacting fill-dirt in layers (lifts) is important for stable results. For foundations, patios, or driveways, compact in 4- to 6-inch lifts and consider geotextile or engineered fill if the site has poor soil or drainage; discuss project specifics with our team or your contractor.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request order changes; modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion for safety and access reasons and no spreading is guaranteed.
