Do you know any gravel haulers. I need a few loads of gravel??????

[OUAndy1807]

toby trucking, sue estell, sand express

[OUHOMER]

cool, i'll look it up

[OUAndy1807]

what are you using the gravel for? another option is to call the Dolese plant in Davis (their rock plant) and tell them what you need and they can bring it or tell you who is the cheapest trucking company lately.

[Jerk]

Watchya gonna do with it? We've got a bunch of washout at some of our plants, which makes excellent material for gravel roads. It's pretty cheap, too. Like 7 bucks a ton (but don't quote me on that)

'Washout' is the material that the mixer trucks dump out (concrete that wasn't used at the job site) and after it hardens, a milling machine grinds it all up into little rocks.

I need for my driveway. I have about 75 yards long driveway that is all mud when it rains

[OUHOMER]

I figure about 2 to 3 semi's with a belly dump would do it..

[OUAndy1807]

spend an extra couple hundred and put down filter fabric before you put down the gravel. it lets the water pass through, but not the rock. if you don't use it, the rock will just get ground into the mud when it rains and eventually you will just have mud again.

millings would be a good choice for this, as long as they mill the stuff down pretty small so that it doesn't tear up your tires over time.

[OUHOMER]

Where do you get the fabric?

[Flagstaffsooner]

Will that fabric work with cinders?

[Newbomb Turk]

can you have sex on the fabric?

[Jerk]

Washout would work real well.

Butler Bros. Trucking would probably be the cheapest way to haul it.

I'd call them.

edit- oops

[Turd_Ferguson]

Where do you get the fabric?

Maxwell Supply. It called Maroffy.

Ok, fabric is a must, we have put gravel down years ago and it just sank into the dirt after a few years. But i got to thinking about riding my motorcycle. I hate gravel.. Oh well, I can not afford concrete or asphalt, i will have to make me a seperate trial for the bike.

[OUAndy1807]

the nice thing about the filter fabric is that the water passes through the stone and into the ground below. if you get a rock that has "fines" (small pieces that allow for better compaction) like ODOT type A the rock, the material will pack over time with traffic and water passing through it (don't tell them you want ODOT, it's a very expensive alternative just because it meets ODOT's exacting standards)

I've had temporary construction roads that were in place for 2 years with regular traffic and were almost as hard as concrete when we tried to tear them out.

[OUHOMER]

ok, so i know the gravel comes in differant sizes, I mean i dont want to large or too small? so how do i ask for it. size 10 with fines?

[OUAndy1807]

I would call and tell them what you're using it for. They get really technical with it, but it doesn't need to be.

[OUHOMER]

Thanks It may be a month or so before i start this. I need to get the old tractor running after it's long winter slumber.

[OUDoc]

How about a bunch of kidney stones? There just might be someone on SF.com here who could hook you up. :)

[OUHOMER]

It would take a lot of stones. Man, i am just trying to image how much pain it would take to do my drive way.
