A full load of crushed stone is about 16,800 lbs of material — and truck plus load together runs 30,000–40,000 lbs. Weight is exactly why load caps differ by material: dense stone maxes the truck at 6 cubic yards while light, fluffy mulch rides at 10.
Material weight per full load
| 6 cy crushed stone or gravel | ~16,800 lbs |
| 6 cy sand | ~16,200 lbs |
| 6 cy loam | ~12,600 lbs |
| 10 cy mulch | ~9,000 lbs |
Those totals are also why curbside is the default drop — 15 to 20 tons can rut a thawing lawn or mark older asphalt. Need more than one load's cap? Dispatch sequences trucks back to back, each with its own delivery fee. Placement options are on the delivery page.
