Frequently Asked Questions
| Question: | Where can your trucks dump and where can’t they dump? | |
| Answer: | The trucks we use to deliver products are very heavy. The smaller trucks are around 15,000 lbs, while the larger trucks are 33,000 lbs. Soft grassy areas are a problem, because our truck will sink into the lawn and will most definitely do damage. Going into the back yard is also a no. While we understand it will take longer to move the products to the back of the property, the damage that we may do could be very extensive. We cannot dump over stone walls. When the truck’s dump body goes up into the air, the lower edge goes down toward the ground. We also need to be careful of low hanging wires. When the body is up in the air, it will be around 15 feet tall. We also need 9 feet in width to dump safely. Generally, we prefer the driveway area. | |
