damn, 1.6 ton...that's a lot of rocks and they are light too.

Looks like work, to me.

I shouldn't talk. I moved a couple trailer loads from my father-in-law's place last year. But I had to fill up a wheelbarrow, then run it down the side of the house and up into my trailer. When the trailer was sufficiently squatted (a 10 ft. tandem axle), I called it a load and took it home and unloaded it all by hand in my driveway. Even though I lined the trailer with a tarp, it still had to be mostly empty before I could pull it out, dragging as much gravel as I could with it. Yeah, it was gravel, not cinders.

I told my wife it probably would have cost less money and time to have that much gravel delivered and dumped in the driveway, instead of making the 100 mile round trip in a pickup that gets 10 mpg unloaded, and 7mpg loaded.

Using that as mulch I suppose, we got red stone quarries around here, years back they charged out of area companies twice the price for the red tipple stone but locals just the regular stone price. Then they figured if it’s 3/8’s sized they can charge anybody twice the price since it for landscape purposes, the state roads projects don’t allow it to used in asphalt since it’s not as tough to breaking down.

It's an old truck anyway. And I have a bed liner to keep the rocks from scratching the bed.

Out here, those are called red cinders. Rocks are much more dense and heavy. Cinders also come in black color.

How many Mexicans will you be hiring to shovel all that out?

I remember that shit - must've been a '70s thing, as the house I grew up in had that crap instead of mulch around the landscaping. Unless it's fill, I wouldn't want any of those.

Depends on if you are tight packing...or loose packing.
