Dump Truck Capacities & Logistics

Different aggregate volumes are best served by specific truck configuration classes. Under BC commercial regulations, axle weights restrict the maximum weight we can haul.

Common Use:Residential Driveway Gravel

Tridem Dump Truck

Tri-Axle Class

Designed for commercial grading, heavy excavations, subdivisions, and larger civil works. Lower freight rate per ton makes this highly economical for volumes exceeding 10 yards.

Note on weight limits: Commercial transport laws restrict axle loads heavily during spring melt periods (March-May). Be sure to check seasonal trucking laws or coordinate with our dispatch team to verify load limits.
