Hauled a Yard of Fill Dirt - Page 2 - TundraTalk.net

Nice pic Rock! I had the same load in my truck 2 months ago (1 bulldozer bucket of dirt), but I took no pics!!! The truck handled it fine. I was worried on the freeway lol, but it felt nearly the same as when empty!

The dirt store said one bucket was a "Yard of Fill Dirt". I was worried when my step father had asked for 2 but we changed our minds when we saw how much 1 was.

Hey Rock, put a tarp in the bed before you get the dirt and it will be easy to clean up after you unload most of the dirt.

Cyprex, for future reference, a yard of dirt (topsoil) is usually about 1 ton.

I wonder how high of a pile a yard would be in a CM?

Great idea! How about from here on out, if you don't have a pic, it never happened LOL. So for all we know , a lot of members don't have trucks

I had a load of 90 16"x16" pavers and 13 bags of sand in the bed. It was almost on the bump stops and the steering was very light. I don't know how much that load weighed, but it was definately more than I thought it was going to be. If I had to travel more than the 6 miles to my house, I don't think I would put that kind of load in the bed again.
