Trying to get a price on 57 clean gravel for my garage build. Looking like around 45 tons or so.

What are you guys currently paying for this?

That truck would never legally haul 22 ton here

I do not know what 57 gravel is. Here is goes by size.

1"-3" clean is $15/ton

Wow, I am getting quoted too high for sure then. Thanks!

How many feet of road did that cover?

How far are you from the quarry? Costs a bunch to haul it any distance. There's a big one here in town where I live.

Here's our pricing:

#57 Granite Stone

(1/2" - 1" )

$75.33 / ton (full load) $180.50 / ton (min load)

It's a little over 10 miles away. I'm getting quoted too high for sure. I need to contact the quarry directly. I'm going to need at least two full dump trucks of gravel, if not three based on the weight.

Quote is 75.33 per ton on full truck of approximately 20ish tons. So, about $1,500.00 per truck, times three trucks.

I'm going to keep checking around.

Yeh, 10 miles is nothing. Last summer I paid less than $40 a ton for 10 tons for road bond from a quarry a curvy hour and a half away at our other place in the mountains.

That is the price at the quarry. It does not include the trucking. Do you have any steel mills around you? If the quarries are gouging you then call a mill and see what slag is running. We used to get it for free

How many feet of road did that cover?

Of course it depends on size but I figure 18 cu/ft/ton. One ton cover 36 square ft at 6 inches

It is a simple math calculation.
A road 12ft wide by 300 ft long is 3600 square feet.
To calculate the cubic feet needed for a 6 inch base take 12 x 300 x 0.5 divided by 18. That equals 1800
Take 1800 divided by 18 and that is 100 ton. Of course there are MANY variables but that is rough guesstimate

I think there might be a bit of miscommunication due to differences to regions. I assumed you were asking about gravel....crushed limestone.
I cannot say a damn thing about the price of Granite other than it makes nice countertops that are expensive.

What type of truck are they hauling it with to get 20 tons?

 

[Bill G]

How many feet of road did that cover?

Well 100 ton should cover a road 300 feet long that is 12 feet wide and cover it at a depth of 6 inches. Now that is rough numbers. If you are asking how much gravel you need to cover a specific road well then that is unanswerable. It is very much dependent on variables. It depends on the base, the size of the gravel, and the mix of screenings. Our roads here have a base that in some places just might be 3 to 4 feet deep. At the top of my hill........of my...... the base yeah maybe 6 inches.

@Catbuster is the master road builder extroidare and can give more insight

 

[redneckhillbilly]

the box of that dumptruck would literaly have to be filled to the brim to hold 20 tons, typical 12 yard dump box hauls 15 tons to be road legal and thats with a tag axle, that truck with no tag would probably only haul 12-13 tons legally on MT highways.

not sure what spec material is #57, I have heard of type 51 engineered gravle with vegetable oil mixed in to help with dust and compaction.

locall a ton of 1 1/2 minus is going for $16 bucks a ton if I haul it myself, If I have it trucked in it costs me $450 for 15 tons delivered, so $30 a ton delivered 7 miles from the pit.

we dont have much granite around here its all shale, so the type of rock might be a factor in price.

 

[Catbuster]

I’ll get you the numbers from my last quote.

I got a little better price because that purchase order was something like 100,000 tons and was locked in from 2020, but I can come up with the right amount of escalation.

Is it $75/ton delivered?

$500 for a double axle load. What is that 22 tons?

That truck shouldn’t be running more than 18 tons… In a state with loose DOT laws. 15 would top it out in certain states. Most places will allow around 55,000 on three axles with skinny steer tires, and the truck dry is probably close to 25,000.

We’re allowed 80,000 on a quad axle (three rear) truck with super single steers in KY, but Indiana limits to 68,000.

I do not know what 57 gravel is. Here is goes by size.

1"-3" clean is $15/ton

#57 in a lot of places in the southeast (and Ohio) is 1” nominal, no fines, nothing smaller than 1/2”. Indiana calls it #8… I’m not sure what IDOT calls it. I’ll have to look that one up. I seem to remember their spec book being a doozy though.

Edit: Looked it up, Illinois calls it #57 as well.
