General Truck Loading Information
We have the ability to load most trucks but often the customer is unsure of the capacity of their vehicles. A regular size pick-up truck will hold three cubic yards of mulch. Topsoil, compost and heavier materials limit a load to one cubic yard. Below is a list of trucks and recommended hauling capacity.
