Finding granite haulers

I was gna suggest them too, since maverick does haul granite, but should the shipper provide the A frames? Maverick has A frames but it's meant for glass, but it doesn't hurt to give them a call

 

9 Slabs a load. Maybe. If they are big as 10 by 7 high and a foot thick.

You just caused a number of flatbed companies to salviate at the potential haul of 500 slabs. You are looking at 50 to 85 trucks. 2.40 a mile per truck. roughly.. 38,000 dollars to around god knows how much over 750 miles.

 

The granite slabs are not a foot thick. Depending on what material he bought weather its 2cm (3/4" thick) or 3cm (1 1/4") thick a driver should be able to haul 40-50 slabs at a time per trailer. A typical standard 2cm size granite slabs weighs around 700 lbs and that could help you figure out weight a little better. I do this particular thing for a living.

 

Much appreciated. I was off on my figures.

Ive hauled stone once or twice, just did not make a habit of it which shows in my inexperience with it.

 

Heck even if I had to build racks to get the job I would for that many lds.
But I run a lowboy.

 

More axles= more slabs per load. Drape a rag over it n say it's nondivisible chunk rock

 

Who needs more axles. Just ld her up and go...

 

My last company had some frames in the yard. Once in awhile he'd send us out with steel or rebar. The usual haul out. We'd load the frames on top and bring back glass or slabs of some type. If that's what we were bring back.


Just an idea to consider in looking for a truck

 

If you have a time limit of when you need to get those moved, you'll probably need to pay a trucking company round trip rates to run back and forth and do them fast. It will probably be cheapest to build the frame yourself out of wood.

Or you can find a broker to post it up and have 10 different trucks do the loads. It MIGHT be cheaper that way since you won't have to pay round trip rates.

 

Healthy MIGHT on that one!
