Question

How many trucks would it take to haul 10,000 cubic yards of concrete??

Answer 1

The normal truck carries 8-12 cubic yards, so 835-1250 truckloads, depending on how they're loaded and what their capacity is.

When I was working interstate construction work, we'd estimate 8 cu.yd. per load for progress completion payments.  These were not your ordinary redi-mix trucks though, they had an open top and agitator/auger and would only haul from the on-site plant to the pour -- usually less than 5 miles.  In a ten hour day, on a good day, we'd pour 1 mile of 2 lane highway, 10" deep.  Ramps were done separately and bridges were usually the first to start after the cut and fill was done and the last to finish.

Answer 4

A standard truck can carry about 10 cubic yards. So you would need about 1000 trucks.
