Use the [online order form](https://txgrit.net/order/), or call or text Mike Kobaly at [559-748-6108](tel:+15597486108).

Price depends on the material, the quantity and the length of the haul, so every order is quoted. Send the details through the [order form](https://txgrit.net/order/) or call [559-748-6108](tel:+15597486108), and Mike will give you a price before anything is scheduled. Nothing is charged online.

### How much does a dump truck hold?

It depends on the truck and on how heavy the material is. As a rough guide, a tandem-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, and larger end-dump trailers carry more. Heavy material such as rock and gravel reaches a truck's legal weight before it fills the bed, so a load of rock is fewer cubic yards than a load of topsoil. Tell us your quantity and we'll work out the number of loads.

### How do I figure out how much material I need?

Multiply length × width × depth, all in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A shortcut: square feet × depth in inches ÷ 324. One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep, or about 81 square feet at 4 inches deep.

Example: a 12 ft × 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 7.4 cubic yards. The calculator on the [order page](https://txgrit.net/order/#calculator) does the math for you.

### What is the difference between fill dirt, select fill and topsoil?

Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic matter. It compacts well, so it is used to raise grade, backfill and build pads. Select fill is fill that has been tested to meet an engineer's specification, usually a sandy clay blend that stays stable under a foundation. Topsoil is the dark, organic top layer used for growing grass and plants. It should not go under a slab.

### What are asphalt millings used for?

Asphalt millings, also called reclaim or RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement), are old asphalt pavement ground up during road work. Spread and compacted, they bind into a firm surface. They are a popular lower-cost choice for driveways, ranch roads, parking areas and laydown yards.

### What should I use for a gravel driveway or ranch road?

Most North Texas driveways and ranch roads start with a compacted base of crushed limestone, often called road base or flex base. Some owners top it with a smaller gravel, and some use asphalt millings instead. The right material and depth depend on the soil and on what will drive on it. Tell us about the traffic and we'll help you choose.

### Can you haul off concrete, dirt and demolition debris?

Yes. TXGRIT hauls off demolition debris such as broken concrete, asphalt, brick and block, along with spoil piles and leftover material from site cleanup. Tell us what is in the pile and about how much there is. Hazardous materials need a licensed specialty hauler.

### What do I need to have ready for a delivery?

- **Firm ground.** A loaded dump truck is heavy. It can sink in soft or wet soil and can crack thin concrete.
- **Overhead clearance.** A raised dump bed can reach 20 feet or more, so the drop spot has to be clear of power lines and tree limbs.
- **Room to get in.** A wide gate and space to back up and turn.
- **A marked drop spot.** Stake it, flag it, or describe it on the order, and give us a number to call from the truck.

### Does TXGRIT work with homeowners or only contractors?

Most of our work is for contractors, builders and landowners. If your home or property project needs a truckload of material, or a pile hauled off, send the details on the [order form](https://txgrit.net/order/) and Mike will tell you whether it is a fit.

### How soon can you deliver?

It depends on the material and on the schedule that week. Put the date you need on the [order form](https://txgrit.net/order/), or call Mike at [559-748-6108](tel:+15597486108) if it is urgent. He will confirm what is possible before you plan around it.

### Is K Bar Hauling the same company as TXGRIT?
