In my mind it'd be a waste of my time and fuel to haul who knows how much gravel back. Its like if I was to put 6 cylinder kits in an engine and not get paid, so I sneak into the guy's yard at night and put his old cylinders back into the engine.

I've heard of a guy who didn't get paid for an asphalt job. After a couple months he started moving in a cat, trackhoe and loader to take his asphalt back. The customer then promptly paid him!
Swiss Mountain Dog Thanks this. -

I would say he had nothing to lose and he probably lives in his state that doesn't prosecute the subcontractor who doesn't get paid. Good times I hope it worked for him

But at this point what's another load. Gravel is cheap considering. If that works it was only one extra load.

Also, my buddy had a septic business and offered to return a customer's load for nonpayment.QuietStorm, RockinChair and Oldironfan Thank this. -
Everyone keeps thinking that is nice gravel but it could be crappy sand from another job and instead of hauling it all the way to a pit he is teaching him a lesson and getting paid and maybe even saving fuel if the pit to dump is farther than this location.
In this industry people get screwed over so much maybe it was just one to many for this guy.Caterpillar Cowboy Thanks this.
