Project guide

Hiring hauling / trucking contractors in Florida

Hauling contractors move bulk material to and from job sites: delivering gravel, sand, topsoil and fill, and removing excavated spoil, concrete and demolition debris. Pricing is built around truck size and cycle time. A tandem dump truck carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards, a tri-axle 15 to 18, and a belly dump or end dump trailer over 20; the driver's rate covers loading, travel, dumping and any wait time at either end. Distance to the pit or landfill is often the biggest variable, and tipping fees for debris are usually passed through separately. Contractors who also run a loader or excavator can load their own trucks, which matters when nothing on site is available to fill them.

What hauling / trucking work costs

Local dump truck hauling typically runs $75 to $150 per hour or $150 to $500 per load depending on truck size and distance. Delivered aggregate and fill often lands between $25 and $60 per cubic yard including the material, and landfill tipping fees for construction debris commonly run $40 to $100 per ton, more for mixed or contaminated loads.

Ranges are national and approximate; regional labor rates, material prices and site conditions move them in both directions.
