The materials you'll actually haul — what they are and where they go. If you move bulk and aggregate freight, this is the language of the load.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Aggregate | Umbrella term for crushed stone, gravel, sand, and slag used in construction. Most dump truck freight is aggregate of some kind. |
| #57 stone | A common ~3/4" crushed stone used for driveways, drainage, and concrete. Frequently requested by name. |
| Base / #304 (crushed limestone base) | Graded stone-and-fines mix compacted as a foundation under roads, slabs, and parking lots. |
| Fill dirt | Subsoil used to raise or level grade. Cheaper than topsoil; not for planting. |
| Topsoil | The nutrient-rich upper soil layer, hauled for landscaping and final grading. |
| Riprap | Large angular stone placed for erosion control on slopes, channels, and shorelines. |
| Sand | Fine aggregate — mason, concrete, and fill sands each have different specs. |
| Millings (RAP) | Reclaimed asphalt pavement ground off during resurfacing, reused as base or driveway surface. A very common per-hour haul. |
| Spoil | Excess soil and material excavated from a site that must be hauled off ("dirt export"). |
| C&D debris | Construction & demolition debris — concrete, brick, and rubble hauled to recycling or disposal. |
| Slag | Byproduct of steelmaking, crushed and used like stone for base and fill. |
| Scale ticket | The weigh-station receipt proving tonnage hauled — your proof of delivery on per-ton jobs. |
