How it works
How It Works, From Your First Call to the Last Load
Four steps, one phone call, and a per-load quote before a truck rolls. If you came here asking how much a load of dirt costs, the honest answer is that it depends on your job, and further down this page we walk you through every factor that sets the number.
Our Process in Four Steps
This is the whole thing. There is no portal to sign into, no account to open, and nobody to chase for a callback. One point of contact runs it end to end, and fast response here means the phone itself: it is answered 24/7/365, so step one never waits until Monday morning.
01
Tell Us About Your Project
Call, or send the quote form. We want the jobsite, the material, roughly how much of it, when you need the first truck, and whether there is loading equipment on site. Rough numbers are fine. We tighten them up with you on the call.
02
Receive a Per-Load Quote
You get one per-load number covering the material and the trucking, not a rate sheet to interpret and not two invoices to reconcile. Most quotes go out the same day, and same-day is usually within the hour.
03
Trucks Are Scheduled
Once you say go, we hold the truck count against your date and build the cycle around how fast you can load. Super 10s show up when we said they would, and one point of contact owns the schedule. If your date has to move, you get a straight answer on what that does to the trucks.
04
We Keep Your Project Moving
Loads cycle, you get updates by phone or text, every load is counted and every ticket tracked. If your schedule moves, one call moves the trucks with it. The last one leaves when the work is done.
See the trucks work
Loads cycling, trucks staging, material landing where it needs to be. This is what step four looks like when the scheduling is reliable and the phone gets answered. Residential lots, commercial sites, and public works jobs all run the same way.
Shot at the yard, loading out. Call and we will walk you through how your job would run.
How much a Super 10 moves
You do not need an exact number to call. Give us a rough volume or your pad dimensions and we tell you how many loads it takes and how many trucks to run at once. 30 years of reliable Super 10 trucking across Southern California is what makes that a quick answer instead of a guess.
10 to 16
tons per load
A Super 10 dump truck typically carries around 10 to 16 tons, depending on the material. Heavier material weighs out before the bed is full.
One
number, not two
You get a single per-load price that covers the material and the trucking, so there is nothing to reconcile between a supplier and a hauler.
100
mile radius
We run a 100 mile service radius across Southern California, and same-day service is available when the schedule has room.
How Trucking Pricing Works
Every project is different, so every project is quoted individually. We do not publish generic pricing, because a rate that looks good on a screen is the wrong number for most jobs and the wrong number costs you either way. What we do instead is show you the nine things that set your per-load price, so when the quote comes back you can see where it came from.
Jobsite Location
Where the work is sets everything downstream: how far a loaded truck runs, which source or disposal site is closest, and what the street outside will let a Super 10 do. Location is usually the first thing we ask about and the last thing we assume.
Material Type
Import fill, road base, gravel, and washed sand each carry a different material cost, and export loads depend on what is in them. Weight matters too: base and broken concrete weigh out before the bed is full, so heavy material means more trucks for the same yardage.
Haul Distance
The miles between the source, your jobsite, and the disposal or delivery site drive the trucking. Pairing your job with a nearby import or export lets trucks run loaded both ways, which takes the empty miles out of the number.
Number of Loads
A Super 10 moves one load at a time, so the total is a count of loads rather than a lump sum. Bigger volumes spread the setup across more loads and let us run several trucks in one cycle, which keeps your crew working instead of waiting.
Project Schedule
A date three weeks out and a truck needed at six tomorrow morning are different jobs to dispatch. Early starts, paving windows, night work, weekend runs, and standing daily counts all price differently, and telling us early is what keeps the number down.
Loading Conditions
Whether loading equipment is available on site, or whether loading assistance needs to be arranged, is the single question that changes a quote most. A truck that arrives with nothing to load it is the most expensive truck on the job, so we settle this before we price the work.
Loading & Cycle Time
How fast a truck gets loaded, dumped, and back around sets how many loads a day one truck can do. A fast loader and clear staging means fewer trucks for the same volume. A tight site with one machine means we size the count to that, honestly, up front.
Disposal or Delivery Location
Where export material can legally go, or where imported material has to land, decides the far end of the haul. We route to permitted disposal, reuse, or recycle sites and build that leg into your per-load number instead of leaving you to find one.
Traffic & Travel Time
Two jobs the same distance apart are not the same haul if one of them crosses the basin at seven in the morning. Travel time is truck time, so route and start time get set with you before dispatch rather than discovered on the road.
So how much is a load of dirt?
It comes down to the nine factors above, which is why you will not find a price list on this site. Two pads the same size in the same city can quote differently because one of them has a loader standing by and the other needs loading arranged, or because the dirt on one has somewhere close to go and the dirt on the other does not.
The same goes for asking what a yard of dirt runs, or what fill dirt costs for a pad. Yardage is only one of nine inputs. What we can do is give you a fast, project-specific per-load number, and tell you plainly what is driving it.
Call (714) 493-7597 with the location, the material, and roughly how much of it, or send the same details through the quote form. Phones are answered 24/7. More questions first? Read the frequently asked questions.
Request a Quote
Send the jobsite, the material, the quantity, and your start date. Tell us whether loading equipment is on site and the number comes back tighter. What you get is a per-load quote for your project, not a generic rate.
