Dump Truck Deliveries
A dump truck is used to deliver aggregates, mulches and/or soils, and will dump the product in a designated area. Dump trucks, especially when loaded, may leave ruts in the ground or even become stuck when off road. A fully cured driveway is the preferred dump location in most cases. Customers who choose to have trucks leave paved surfaces assume all responsibility for towing, ground ruts and any underground fixtures such as irrigation, septic tanks etc.
We've put together a few tips that will help ensure a smooth and safe delivery:
Customer Responsibilities
You will need to be present during the delivery. Be prepared to show the driver the preferred drop off site. Keep in mind that certain factors may prevent us from placing materials in the desired location.
Payment
Prior to unloading any materials, the driver will request payment (if COD), a signature for the delivery disclaimer, and the customer’s visual inspection of material.
Directions
A specific destination address or lot number is required. Provide detailed directions to your home or jobsite. Include main intersections, street names and a physical street address or lot number.
Give a detailed description of the drop site: describe any sidewalks or landscaping that will limit the truck from driving up directly beside the site.
Driveways/Walkways
The weight of a typical delivery truck can cause damage to concrete or stone pavement if driven over. Trucks will not drive on new pavement or asphalt. These applications take up to one year to cure, and may be damaged by the weight.
Overhead Concerns
When scheduling a delivery, be sure to let our office know at the time of scheduling about any power lines, tree limbs, or other overhead objects that could obstruct the movement of the dump truck. The truck may not operate within 10 feet horizontally or 30 feet vertically of power lines due to electrocution hazards. Operation may also be limited on steep grades.
Underground Concerns
The location of septic lines, sprinkler heads, underground drains and utility lines are all important to the capabilities of the truck to drive in certain areas. The delivery truck weight could cause damage to any of these items if present. Be sure to advise your salesperson or driver of their presence.
Children/Pets
Keep pets and children out of the area during the delivery. Drivers are unable to see objects in their mirrors that are directly behind the truck.
Weather
Take weather conditions into consideration. If the ground is wet, it may be difficult for the truck to deliver without damaging grass or landscaping. Teddy Bear Hauling can reschedule deliveries because of weather concerns.
Installation
When receiving a dump truck delivery, be aware that drivers cannot perfectly spread aggregates using the truck capabilities only. The stone will require additional manual raking after delivery to create an even surface. Please ask about our contractor referral program if you are interested in a quality landscape service provider.
General
Be flexible. There are many factors that may prevent a product from being placed in a certain area. Drivers' decisions will be made on the basis of potential safety hazards and property damage. Remember that while we will do our best to satisfy your requests, our first commitment is to the safety of everyone involved.
