This wont help you much but i will tell you what i do when i need stone. I usually barrow or rent a dump trailer and haul as much as I can in a day before the quarry closes for the day. This way i dont have to pay the delivery fee and can get more stone. I have a quarry about 5 miles north of my place

JD, I have a dump trailer and after hauling several loads I found out the trucking company gets it at wholesale so when they deliver. it ends up costing me the same as if I had hauled all day.

Our local classified ads always have small trucking/construction companies advertising to haul gravel.

I do have a dump trailer but if I need a truckload or more (which I often do), I don't save much my hauling it myself when I count in the time and diesel, wear and tear.

There is a reseller about 10 miles away or two quarries about 40 miles away. Interestingly, Hanson (a British company) has bought up all the quarries in SW Ohio. According to the trucker I use, their prices keep going up the closer the quarries are to a major city.

OTOH, the local concrete plant is owned by Hilltop resources and they bring in their crushed limestone via river barge.
