Delivery of Landscaping Materials

Pioneer Sand Co. can handle any of your delivery needs. With a large fleet of new and well-maintained trucks, we can bring any of our products to your house or jobsite. We look forward to delivering your order, but we ask you to keep some things in mind when placing your order.

Delivery Times
The nature of our business prevents us from being tied to an exact delivery time. Our delivery times are approximate, and may vary as much as an hour early or late.

Dumping on Public Streets
It is against the law to dump materials on public streets. Make sure you discuss the dump location when ordering.

Release of Liability
Drivers will not back across concrete drives, sidewalks, etc., or proceed onto the property until the invoice (release form) is signed. The customer is financially responsible for any property damage.

Tailgate Spreading
We can sometimes do tailgate spreading in driveways or any areas that are hard, level, and relatively flat. We do not guarantee we can tailgate spread any area. The decision is left totally up to the driver that takes the load. (Tailgate spreading is a method of dumping materials while the truck is moving forward to cover a large area rather than dumping the entire load in one spot.)

Split Load
With this truck we can load up to 5 tons each of two different materials excluding any materials over 2”- 4” in size.

Combined Loads
We can combine unlike materials, such as 4 tons of rock with 10 railroad ties or timbers. Any products, such as spikes, rebar, landscape fabric or polymer crystals, can be sent with your delivery.

Clearance
All of our small trucks (bobtails and tandems) need 10 feet of width clearance. Allow an additional 3 feet if obstacles are of mirror height. Trucks also need 30 feet of height clearance.
