This was my fourth load of crush& run also bought two 10 ton trucks of creek rock. I like this gravel there are no round rocks,,round rocks don't pack down they just move around.
The truck driver did an excellent job here. You would not believe the nightmare story I went through with a dump truck driver when I ordered crusher run gravel at my place. It had been raining cats and dogs for months in Georgia ( as usual here ), and the driveway at one of my properties was washed out in places and flooded. So we needed some crusher run. This dump truck driver drove up my driveway, without dumping anything, and then attempted to turn around in a tight spot and backed into a electrical pole four times!!! And then he got stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out. I had to call electrical folks to look at the pole and all the damage he did/all of the electrical wires attached to the pole including the transformer ( to the home ) were damaged since he shook the pole mightily when he hit it with a huge dump truck full of 20 tons of crusher run. Finally, the two guys from the electric company were able to use their big trucks to pull him out with a winch wrapped around the base of a tree ( they said they do this all the time in bad weather for their own electric big trucks ) while a bob cat guy took his life in his own hands and pushed on the side of the leaning, dump truck to help out the electrical guys.., the huge dump truck was stuck in the Georgia mud up to the rims of the tires and he was wedged between a large tree/brush and an electrical pole which was also leaning dangerously after being hit four times. It gets worse...frustrated and obviously unable to deal with his own mistakes and take responsibility for them, he argued with me that he was just going to dump 20 tons of wet crusher run at/on the electrical pole, which would have caused further damage, get his truck unstuck, and leave; he cussed at me, refused to call his company for help; blamed ME for his bad decisions that got him stuck in the first place ( really? all I did was order the crusher run and show up to give him a check), and he refused to take any responsibility for his bad behavior or his damage to my property. His company ( that he supposedly contracts for ) tried their best to make it right in the end. And the electrical guys were fantastic...fixed the pole/lines, got his huge, leaning dump truck unstuck, and were basically the only calm and intelligent ones there. Be careful in the mud in Georgia, especially since it is raining in Georgia all the time now. This guy made one bad decision after another and it took 6 people from his company, two electricians with a big electrical truck, and two policemen to deal with this guy, his nasty behavior, and the consequences of his bad decisions, So if you have a decent truck driver who delivers and does his job well, tip him at least And don’t ever complain about a decent delivery charge. UNBELIEVABLE.
A lot of work by hand ,At our house in Tavaneer I though I wasgoing spread a truck load of pee rock .No Bueno .. So after the delivered a bob cat for me .It took me10 hrs to get the yard done .By hand sucks ,thank God it not in the 90s up there ,Gerry
+krazy45cat Half of that pile was still there when I left the neighbor is going to finish it with his tractor. It was cooler up there for sure. it was 89 when I got back down here.
I've never been able to figure out why they don't use their roll over covers. Just about every dump truck has one, but I could count the number of times I've seen one in action on one hand. It's not going to be perfect, but surely less stuff would fly out of the truck with a cover on than off, right?
Hey buddy, it looks like you're in the Clarksville area. I do gravel driveways and other types of dirt work. Hit me up at LKC Tractor Services if you ever need gravel or dirt work done.

Good Man. We do what we can with what we got.

I like the national pig day races sign. lol. The drive way looks good. That guy did a much better job with dump and roll.
+Charlie Ice SMC Thanks Man, My neighbor got a chuckle from that sign too.
Hi what length/ distance of driveway was covers by the 20 tons
I need this for 400 yard driveway near Alexandria Louisiana
nice too see your progress Matt. When you going to just move there?
+ITHINKUREALESUK Thanks Gil, I'm not sure when the move will be. but the sooner the better.
That truckdriver should not eat his lunch while spreading.
I feel for you.. I did 10 Ton by hand at my place here in Florida and it's a bitch.. don't want to do that again...
+Hal P. It's hard work for sure,,I like your targets on your home page picture.
Haha drivers first time
oops meant 10 yards. not 10 ton
That's 10 yards?
That driver should never tailgate again terrible job
Show us your vid
Where is your proof of how you’re better?
You don't dump 6 tons on the ground to start total mess guy had to rent skid steer to fix it driver should the haul fee back
You saw how wet it was, right? Maybe Matt asked him to dump that there to fill in? Don’t be a keyboard warrior who knows it all.
i need landscape gravel. how much would 20 tons be with delivery??
I paid 370.00
Wow! I was just quoted $1200 for 50 tons of 2b. I think that’s a bit high. Thanks for info.
$950 with delivery for 1" Arizona beige

Love the useless warning on tailgate. If it drops off your vehicle, you are responsible for damages it may cause..
We are controlled by lawyers etc. my toaster OVEN says caution hot surface.

It's a warning for stones or debris the tires may pick up along the road which they are not responsible for. Hence the warning of dont tailgate
I think that guy has done that a few times before.
+MrBulletpoints Shelly asked him how long he has been driving he said 30 years.
@@hutchins36 he needs to quit cause he sucks!
if I couldn't do no better than that spreading Rock I'd quit
What State are you in?
How much did that cost
365.00
