We have a 4 acre lot in Shawnee, KS that requires about 3500 loads (10 to 14 yards) of fill dirt/rock/concrete. The lot is in a very convenient location for construction companies building in the area. After some research, we've determined that we could charge for each load because of the very close proximity to many construction sites.
I have no idea how to manage the tracking of each truck load, to make sure we are billing each company correctly. I've been told that we should hand a "load ticket" to each driver as they dump so that they can give those tickets to their management at the end of the day. I welcome any suggestions about how to manage this long term project.

I'm assuming you have a permit for that.

Definitely gave each driver a load ticket and keep two copies of it. That way, if you get rooked into taking dirt that contains hazardous materials you'll be able trace it back to the hauler.
Getting rid of clean fill dirt is easy, everybody wants it. Getting stuck with a few loads of petroleum contaminated dirt from a fuel tank cleanup is also common...but really expensive to deal with.Jake Metzger, hlboyles, Sons Hero and 3 others Thank this. -

Just a thought if you’re getting concrete and large rocks your contractor is not going to be happy when/if they have to dig basements and footings.
hlboyles and IH Truck Guy Thank this. -

Other than the smell test, how could I tell if someone has dumped contaminated dirt? -
