if the front gets loaded to a couple of feet down from the lip, .... So, go with a 40 yard but be careful to load the space in the front so as to get the most value.

Then... how will you be billed? If it is a flat rate + the scale fee, that is fine. If the fee includes weight up to x # of tons, that is tricky.

In2, any thoughts on billing? In N,j., it is usually the trucking with a max tonnage included.

What state is this in?
