The largest expense of moving material on construction sites is the cost of trucking.  On import and export sites this cost can be greatly reduced by finding the closest site for your material needs. 

Although you should do a cost analysis on your specific site, the following is an example of the savings you could recognize.

Using the following values of hourly trucking rate for end dump truck of $75 and  moving 50,000 cubic yards of material, at 17 CY per truck.

The savings if you were to haul the material:

 10 minutes closer (round trip), $36,500

 20 minutes closer, $73,000

 60 minutes closer, $220,000.

Not only is this direct savings a great incentive to use My Dirt Deals, there is also the opportunity to share trucking, loading, placing costs with other parties in need of import or export of materials.

So, with that being said, even if you have sites to haul your material, the savings of finding two closer sites could be a huge savings to your company.  Now is the time to begin listing your material needs on My Dirt Deals.
