Agricultural hauling

Ag ground
runs on rock.

For over 20 years we've hauled rock, sand, gravel, asphalt and aggregates across Porterville, Tulare, Kern, Fresno and Bakersfield. Orchard avenues, ranch roads, equipment yards and pond banks get the same trucks and the same material as the highway work.

Where it goes on a ranch

Most ag work comes down to one of six jobs. Tell us which one you're doing and we'll tell you what to put down and how much of it.

Orchard and vineyard avenues

Rock down the middles and the headlands so the crew, the sprayer and the harvest trucks keep moving after a wet week.

Ranch and field access roads

Class II base built up and compacted, so a loaded truck crosses your ground without cutting ruts into it.

Equipment yards and shop pads

A hard, drained surface to park iron and set a tank or a shop on, instead of mud from November to March.

Pond banks, basins and canal edges

Oversized rock and rip rap where moving water is working on a bank. End dumps put it exactly where it needs to sit.

Fill and grading

Fill dirt and fill sand to bring low ground up and level a pad before any base rock goes down on top of it.

Around the ranch house

Sandy loam topsoil, plaster sand and decorative rock come off the same yard on the same delivery.

Not sure how many tons an avenue takes? Run the length, width and depth through the estimator and it will give you the tonnage before you call.

02The fleet

The right truck for a ranch road

A bottom dump lays material in a windrow as it drives, so an avenue gets rocked in one pass instead of a pile every forty feet. Where the access is tight, a Super 10 fits. Where it's rip rap for a bank, it goes in an end dump.

04Also on the ranch

Two more things we bring

Both of these show up on ag jobs more often than people expect.

On-site crushing

Old concrete becomes new base

Torn-out ditch liner, an old pad, a demolished barn slab — the crusher comes to the ranch and turns it into road rock right there. You skip the haul-off and you skip buying base.

Loaders and excavators

Iron that comes with it

Wheel loaders and excavators for pond and basin work, stripping ground before base goes down, and loading spoil off the ranch.

Material, tonnage and where the gate is. We’ll price the rock and the haul together so you see one number.
