Price per ton for 57 clean gravel in your area?

[Bill G]

Yes I am looking at the scale ticket for 23 tons on a dump truck. I have spent a lot of time in SW Wisconsin and seen the trucks ...........and roads.

Not sure what RIF means. Here RIF is getting chit canned through a reduction in force.

Reading Is Fundamental.

It means you can read, understand and comprehend the difference between a question vs a statement.

I agree reading is fundamental.
I will make it even clearer
Statement..........I say there is no way in hell that truck legally hauled 22 tons of anything, in any state, on any public road, including Tennessee.
Question.......Are you saying it did?

If your talking about what I got, no, I'm pretty sure it was a quad.
My buddy @bradb123 works for the company I got the stuff from keeping their equipment rolling.

Our dump trucks have two pusher axles. In the state of Wisconsin they can legally scale out at 73,000 pound.

Here in PA a tri-axle dump truck can legally haul 22-23 tons depending on there empty weigh and legally weight 73,280lbs max going down the road .

I have seen the trucks up there in Wisconsin.............and the roads. They are not like ours. We used to have weight embargos on all the county blacktop roads from March 1 to June 1. There were signs at the entrance to the county roads from the state highway. If you followed the law you basically could not haul anything during that time period. I went out to take a picture of one of the signs a couple years ago and it was gone. I guess since no one was following the restriction they took them down.

In 1992 I was working for the Corps of Engineers at out local lock and dam. We were under a major reconstruction and they had to remove around 5000 ton of gravel, sand and a bit of asphalt. I lived just a bit over 2 miles away from there, up the levee, on top of the bluff. They agreed to haul it up there so we could fill in a ditch. Well it was the middle of the summer so the road was good........or so we thought. The trucks were rolling good in fact some days too good. Some nights when I would get home Dad would say he was not able to keep up with one dozer. Well one day I noticed there had not been trucks headed toward my place and they were going the other direction. I then seen one of the big payloaders head up the levee and I said awe chiiiit.......Sure enough, all that weight on the gravel road had taken its' toll and the trucks had sunk down past the gravel to the sand. One was stuck right in the middle of a dry flat road. Our road commissioner was not happy.

This is the road it got stuck in....................

Alright-Checked on my last quote from last month, and my current price for KY #57 is $18.55 at the one of our quarries in town.

That does not include haul. My hourly rate for 2024 on a triaxle dump is $118.00 for private work. By the ton it’s $7.30/ton for a 20 mile haul. $7.60/ton for 25 miles Add 2% for $.20 if/when fuel goes over $4.50/gallon.

I think that comes out to ~$550 for a 21 ton load hauled. 21 tons is about all one of the on toad trucks we use can handle before we go over weight.

 

[Bill G]

Illinois is limited to 54,000 lbs on a tandem and you must have a 20,000lb steer. My son was here Saturday and I asked him what the Kenworth t-800 scaled empty and he said right at 24,000. That is why we haul 15 ton

I run a crusher in se Wisconsin and load trucks regularly. Quads at 73k so payload is 21.5-23 tons depending on the truck. Tri axle trucks are 17-19 tons and tandems are 15.

I work for a municipality so our prices are set by the state and we can only sell to other municipalities. $20.94/ton for state spec 3/4 gravel road base. I think that’s the price. The state changes the price every few years. And no, trucking isn’t included in that price.

 

[Homemade]

my good friend who has his own truck is being charged 275/truck at 21tons. So…. About $13/ ton

I finally got a price on steel slag here. It ranges from $1.00-$3.00 per ton plus trucking. It is fine some applications but not applicable to all.

 

[timg]

Slag has it's place at times Bill. But I would not recommend it in a driveway application. Too much metal and garbage to ruin tires. Only unless the processor is running the material over two magnets on the conveyor belt.
FYI. When using slag under a concrete slab it will deteriorate and shrink believe it or not. @Catbuster is spot on in pricing here in the Keystone State for limestone.

 

[Bill G]

No I never said it worked in all applications. As I said it is fine in some applications but not applicable to all. If you look at the pic it even says to not use it under concrete. I took a better picture that might be more clear. We have used it for 40 years or more. You have to be bright enough to know where you can and cannot use it. If you have a very low area that is going to require a large volume it will work. Just topcoat it with limestone. I chuckle at their list because the biggest they list is 8 inch. This is a different mill than we got it from but the other mill had slag that was much larger than 8 inch.

 

[Bill G]

Better pic.

I've been hauling in rock from the quarry around the corner for my shop project. 57 clean is probably what they call 1" ballast there, it's $12.85 a ton, it's 1/2"-1" washed crushed limestone. 3/4" or 1" road stone which includes the fines runs $10.35 a ton.

The road stone makes a good base as it packs hard but weeds like to grow in it... so you usually top dress with the washed ballast so it stays loose and stops things from growing as easy.

Hauling is the majority of the cost, for a non account holder there is usually $120 flat rate per load around here... even if it only traveled the 3 miles from the scales to my job site.

 

[Bill G]

I assume that is River Products. It is tough to keep them and River Stone seperate . They are both in the area. Th Columbus Junction and Fredonia locations are River Products but the Quad City ones are River Stone. As for hauling $120 hauling is very low for here.

Yes, IRP. There newest quarry is 3 miles from me.

I suspect $120 is the minimum. If it had any significant mileage it would probably go up.

12yd load of Class 5 Gravel locally (central Mn) is $180 delivered and I’m roughly 8 miles from the pit. Depending on if you use wet or dry math that’s between $12-15/ton delivered. It isn’t exact as they don't usually scale but I used to work there and we’d load x number of buckets with each loader and get close on how many yards are in the truck. The owners told us to load stronger than lighter so there wouldn’t be any grumbling. Customers have the option to scale for $10/load and buy by the ton and I did it a few times and the piles always looked smaller than when I’d just get “a 12yd load”.

 

[Bill G]

I got a quote on trucking slag out of the mill 22 miles away. It was $160
