Quick Question About Hauling Gravel

I plan on loading the bed of the truck of crushed grave, they charge by the cubic yard. It’s only a 10min drive from my house, the issue is my rear shocks are leaking. Will it be an issue or should I be ok? Don’t worry they’re will be pics lol!

 

According to the gargler, a cubic yard of gravel is 2,900 lbs. How much are you planning on carrying?

 

Oof that's a bit heavy. I carried some large format tile weighing 1800lbs and I was riding on bumpstops! Maybe if you drive reeealy slow lol. Your shocks are leaking now but they'll probably be blown by the end of that trip!

 

Even if I have to do it in two trips, no big deal.

 

I used to load trucks with topsoil and stone 3/4 of a yard stone is one ton .It's not very much stone . You might be better off having it delivered

 

I think forking out a delivery fee for the gravel would make you a very smart guy.

 

Fill the glove box, too

 

It’s only $50 for delivery just called lol! Close thread.

 

that’s cheaper than any truck repair

 

The dcsb is just over 1 cubic yard in the bed

 

A true yard is TOOO much. I got the short bed. Had the yard dribble gravel till the bumpers touched. I recall it got to 1300-1400. Not good riding on bumpers.

Good thing I got new recall springs later that year!

 

Father in law came by and helped out with his trailer and F150. Deal was, I have to bring back the trailer with my truck..I’m so fucking nervous, never pulled anything before lol!

 

Pulling is easy. Backing sucks.

 

He made it look so easy lol

 

My son in law backed a 9 ft wide trailer through a 9’6” gate in one shot. I would have to widen that gate to 15 ft.

 

Lol. Takes time to learn how to go in reverse with a trailer, once you figure it out, it's as easy as going forward.

 

You'd be ok if you go slow and as skip potholes. Do it all time no probs.

 

Backing a little trailer is challenging. Ironically, (or coincidentally?) I find big trailers easy.
I just saw a Tacoma riding on the bumpstops yesterday. He had his bed lined with a plastic sheet. Bed full of gravel. He apparently like to baby his truck! Now that’s irony!

 

I was almost that guy lol!

 

Dump trailer all the wayyyyyy!
