Yes — we deliver well above 40 tons, no problem. 40 tons works out to roughly 1–3 standard dump truck loads depending on what material it is. Stone is densest (40 tons ≈ 14 cubic yards = 1 full truck), topsoil is mid-density (40 tons ≈ 20 cy = 1.5 trucks), mulch is the lightest (40 tons ≈ 40 cy = 3 trucks).
How 40 tons converts to truckloads, by material
| Material | ~Weight per cubic yard | 40 tons in cubic yards | Approx truckloads (14 cy/truck) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crushed stone / dense pack | ~2,800 lbs | ~14 cy | 1 truck |
| Sand | ~2,700 lbs | ~15 cy | 1–2 trucks |
| Topsoil / loam | ~2,100 lbs | ~19 cy | 2 trucks |
| Compost | ~1,100 lbs | ~36 cy | 3 trucks |
| Mulch | ~900 lbs | ~44 cy | 3–4 trucks |
