Looking for some input on how you guys charge for hauling material such as bulk mulch, stone, dirt etc...here is my question. The big guys are getting like $80/load for a hauling charge but they are getting what 5-6 tons? So it would not be fair for me to charge $80/load for the 2 tons ill have in my dump insert. So I am thinking charge an $80 hauling fee for 8 tons regardless of # of trips. This means for one 2 ton load there would but a $27 hauling fee, two loads would be a $54 hauling fee and so on. They would be getting a discount compared to the big guys charging $80 no matter if its a full or half load. This would cover my expenses and not screw the customers. Any thoughts?

i charge the same as the supply yards sometimes more. your a contractor not a hauling company. what i do is if i need more than i can haul in one or two loads i just get it delivered, unless it needs to be dumped in a couple different places like at some condos i do. its really not worthit for me to make 3-4+ trips to get materials.

I usually do the same as Clark, same as my supplier would charge. Never hauled anything that I didn't get paid to put down as well. If I were just hauling something, the charge would be more. Might consider a per mile kind of thing?

Ok well here is my situation. I got a bunch of calls early on about hauling stone and now I have almost 40 ton to haul. Most are small 2-3 ton jobs but I have a couple 10 ton jobs. Obviously this would be 5 + trips in my dump insert so I need to charge accordingly. My supplier can haul 8 ton in one load and charges a $80 hauling charge per load. With me hauling 2-3 ton I can not charge the same as him so I was thinking of breaking that down. I also have a couple large mulch hauls lined up with some local landscapers. I am in no way wanting back in the lawn side of things, but if I can keep my truck and helper busy all spring and summer im in,
