Trucking

Whether you're building a house, resurfacing a driveway, or landscaping an acreage, materials have to move -- and that's where our trucks come in. TLC Patriot's dump trucks are available for hauling to and from construction projects throughout the Billings area, with a maximum capacity of 22 tons per load and tailgating capability for controlled spreading.

We haul virtually any material: gravel, road base, sand, topsoil, landscape rock, asphalt millings, fill dirt, and demolition spoils. Because we're also an excavation contractor, our drivers understand job sites -- where to dump, how to spread, and how to keep your project moving instead of just dropping a pile and leaving.

Common hauls for Billings-area customers include crushed gravel and road base for driveways and building pads, washed rock and sand for concrete and drainage work, topsoil for lawns and gardens, decorative landscape rock, and asphalt millings for economical driveway surfacing. We also haul spoils away -- excess dirt, old gravel, and construction debris -- so your site stays clean.

Not sure how much material you need? Tell us the area and depth you're covering and we'll help you calculate tonnage, so you order enough to finish without paying for a load you don't need.

Our trucks have tailgating capability, meaning we can meter material out in a controlled ribbon as the truck moves forward rather than dumping it all in one pile. For driveways and road resurfacing this saves hours of skid steer work spreading the material -- often the difference between a one-day and a two-day project. Just tell us how you want it placed.

Trucking rarely stands alone -- most loads are going to or coming from a dig. Because TLC Patriot runs its own excavation fleet, we coordinate hauling with the machine work: spoils leave the site as the excavator produces them, base gravel arrives as the pad is cut to grade, and nobody stands around waiting on a third-party truck. That coordination routinely shaves days off site prep schedules.

For septic installations, we haul the drain field rock and backfill; for driveways, we deliver base and finish gravel in the right sequence; for demolition and cleanup, we load and haul debris in one continuous operation. One dispatcher, one invoice, one company accountable for the whole flow of material.

Contractors bidding work around Billings can also count on us for overflow trucking capacity during the busy season -- when your own trucks are committed, ours keep your material moving.

A successful build starts with properly prepared ground. TLC Patriot provides foundation dig-out services for new homes, shops, and other construction projects in Billings and surrounding communities. Our team coordinates excavation with your project plans and construction schedule, while our trucking services support soil removal and material delivery. When the foundation is ready, we can handle backfilling and grading to prepare the site for the next phase of construction.

Get your property ready for construction with coordinated excavation and hauling from TLC Patriot. We provide site clearing, grading, foundation excavation, and utility trenching, along with material delivery and removal. Our team works with homeowners and contractors to plan the groundwork around the project’s needs. When septic or wastewater systems are part of the build, our in-house engineering process helps coordinate system planning with site preparation.

Dump truck hauling in the Billings area is typically priced per load or per hour, driven by three factors: material cost (what the pit or supplier charges per ton), haul distance from the source to your site, and time on site for placement. Ordering full 22-ton loads gets you the best per-ton price, and grouping deliveries -- gravel and topsoil on the same day, for example -- saves repeat trip charges.

We quote clearly before hauling begins: material, trucking, and any placement time, itemized. If you're comparing bids, make sure every quote includes the same tonnage and delivery terms -- a cheap quote for a short load isn't cheap.

Not sure how much material your project needs? Give us the dimensions and we'll do the tonnage math for you before you commit to anything.

We haul for general contractors who need reliable trucking that shows up on schedule, and for homeowners tackling a weekend driveway or landscaping project who've never ordered gravel before. Either way you get the same straight answers, competitive per-load pricing, and a driver who treats your site with care. Our service area covers roughly 100 miles from Billings -- Laurel, Columbus, Roundup, Red Lodge, Big Timber, and everywhere between -- with longer hauls negotiable.
