New to the board? What flat-rate booking means for your pay
Dump freight is priced by weight rather than floor space: a dense material hits its legal payload long before the trailer looks full, so tonnage and material density decide the job before miles do. How it comes out matters just as much — an end dump tips in one place and needs clearance overhead, a belly dump lays a windrow while rolling for paving work, a side dump discharges without lifting high on soft ground, and a walking floor unloads itself with the trailer level. Site access at both ends and wait time at the scale are the other two things that move the price.

Getting dump & bulk discharge freight moved
Four things decide how fast this books and what it costs. Work through them in order and the posting will be right the first time.
- 1
Name the material and how heavy it is per yard
Dump freight is priced on weight, not floor space. Gravel runs roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard and wet sand more, so a 30 yard trailer hits its legal weight limit long before it looks full. Say what the material is and carriers can work backwards to the right trailer.
- 2
Pick how it needs to come out
An end dump tips the whole load in one place and needs overhead clearance to raise the box. A belly dump lays a windrow while moving, which is what paving wants. A side dump discharges without lifting high and is the stable choice on soft or uneven ground. A walking floor unloads itself with no tipping at all.

Check the site can actually take the truck
Turning radius, ground firmness, overhead wires and the clearance to raise a box are what turn a straightforward haul into a refused one. Say what the access is like at both ends, honestly.
- 4
Post it, or price it first
Post the job with tonnage and site detail, or run an Instant Quote. Aggregate work is usually repeat volume, and carriers quote a known lane better than a one-off.
What decides the rate on this equipment
Rates are not arbitrary. On this kind of freight these four are what a carrier is actually pricing.
Weight limits, not trailer capacity
Almost every dense load is weight-limited rather than volume-limited. Legal payload for a tandem end dump is commonly 22 to 25 tons, and the difference between a light and a heavy material is the difference between one load and two.
Wait time at the pit and the site
Loading is quick; queueing at a quarry scale or waiting on a paving crew is not. Dump work is often paid by the hour or with wait time built in precisely because the delay is outside the driver's control.
Round trip or one way
Aggregate hauling is usually a short loop run many times a day, and it prices per ton or per load rather than per mile. A one-way move that strands the trailer somewhere with no backhaul prices like long-haul freight instead.
What the material does to the trailer
Asphalt needs a release agent and a clean-out, scrap tears liners, and anything corrosive shortens the trailer's life. Carriers who take that work price the cost of it.
What usually rides on it
If your freight looks like one of these, this is the right board for it.
- Aggregate, sand, gravel and crushed stone
- Asphalt, millings and road base
- Topsoil, fill dirt and site spoil
- Grain, feed and other flowable agricultural bulk
- Scrap metal and recycling
- Demolition and construction debris in roll-off containers
Questions people ask about this equipment
End dump, belly dump or side dump — which do I need?
An end dump is the general-purpose choice and dumps in one pile, but it has to raise the box high, so it needs clearance and firm level ground. A belly dump spreads material in a controlled windrow while rolling, which is what road base and paving work want. A side dump discharges without lifting nearly as high and is the safest option on soft or sloped ground.
What is a walking floor good for?
A live floor, or walking floor, has moving slats that push the load out the back with the trailer level. It handles material that will not flow cleanly out of a tipped box — bark, mulch, baled product, some waste streams — and it works where a raised box is impossible, like inside a building or under power lines.
Is dump freight priced per ton or per load?
Usually per ton for aggregate on a repeating short haul, with a scale ticket as the record, and sometimes per hour when site wait time dominates. Longer one-way moves price per load or per mile like other freight. Post the tonnage, the distance and the expected wait and the quotes you get back will be comparable to each other.
