What is the Easiest way to move 330 yards of pit run gravel?

I can get B Gravel (uncrushed bank gravel) for 4 to 5 bucks a tonne here. Not including my delivery charge.

Crushed 7/8's A gravel which we use here for road base is just over $7 per tonne here.

Lots of people also use slag here from the steel plant. It is slightly cheaper than gravel.

The one that kills here is loam. It's almost $900 to fill just my truck. That's why for my own use in my yard, I just mix my loamy sand with manure and let it compost.

Wow those are pretty cheap prices. Bout half what it is here.

Slag is pricey tho. Only a tad cheaper. I remember when they almost gave it away cause there was no demand. Same thing with crushed concrete and recycled asphalt. They were cheap, so demand started to rise, now it just seems better to buy stone and be done.

My brother paid $80 a yard for 60 yards delivered... the driver had no idea how to tailgate spread and consequently left huge piles of crushed rock.

The L3800 had it all spread and looking pretty in an afternoon... at least all the piles were spread out along the road... it did make it impassable... good they started in the back.

In Washington State I was paying $110 for 5 yard load and nicely spread..

Amazing what things cost in the SF Bay Area...

I would cry if gravel costs $80 a yard.

When I was younger I had an old geezer trucker haul out a quad axle load of gravel. He started to spread it at the house but when he got to the end of the driveway he just dumped the rest, about 10 yards. He just shrugged his scrawny shoulders.

The driveway was about 10' wide and there was a big hedge tight along the driveway. I could not get past it with the cars which didn't help matters. I did not have a tractor or know anybody with a tractor at that time so me and ma was out there shoveling and spreading. I may have had a small JD garden tractor at the time with a little trailer. I was so ticked off I could have ****** the guy.

Never again for that company. The next company laid down 4" of gravel perfect;y so I got that guy specifically. No other driver but him, and I was then a happy camper.

I live by a small city and it is surrounded by rural areas and forest. So there are gravel pits everywhere. That's why it's cheap here. It's in abundance.
Loam is the one that is getting hard to get.

$18-25 a ton (about 1.8 tons per yard I think) for recycled asphalt, concrete or crushed road base around here according to the quotes I just got. That's for a full truck (15 ton) or truck & pup (25 ton) delivered. We are an hour from downtown Denver here in CO.
