Crushed stone prices- way up!

[Skyco]

Went to haul some ABC/Crusher run yesterday to my mountain property.
It was $11 a ton 2 years ago, $14 a year ago, and is now close to $20 a ton I haul 5 tons at a time in my dump trailer and took sufficient cash, I thought, to get 3 loads. Had to hit the ATM to get the third load
I realize diesel prices are way up so their costs are up but almost double in two years....

Is everyone seeing this or is it just the Western NC area?

My contractor price is around $11.50 at the quarry, Where i get other items [rock,mulch] it is $19.50 my price. Other places are just silly i was stuck on one job and i paid $35 per yard, no discount.

Maybe but you still need feed stock for it....

I did a web search and found crushed rock prices posted at several places around the country...many were WAY less than the Vulcan Quarry in Hendersonville, NC. I guess they have a lock on the local market.

I used to think nothing of going to get 5 tons of rock at about $60 a trailer load...now at well over $100, and the fuel to operate my truck way up too, it is something to consider.

Unless you have some way to tumble it, it will chew up your tires. At least the stuff around here.

I hear you. The state uses that sharp stuff to pave our roads. It's so sharp that 60,000 mile tires last about 30,000 or less. I bet If you lock up a wheel, it would grind it down to the rim.

I live in eastern PA and stone prices have dropped over the last several months. I had 23 tons of 2A modified delivered in August and October. August price was 9.95 a ton and down to 6.95 in October. I paid $94. for delivery including fuel surcharge. I am 12 miles from the quary.

Well guys I can make you sick. $5.00 a ton for 57 (unwashed), 78 (unwashed), 1/2 crush run, or 3/4 crush run. $5.50 a ton for 57, or 78 washed. Here in Alabama. I can get it delivered for $12.00 a ton total price.

I went a couple weeks ago with my single axle dump and got 9 tons for $54.00. Cost me another $30.00 in gas to haul it the 30 miles from the crusher to my house.

Of course there are 5 quarries within 50 miles of my house .

With this rock-a-vator you can just dump the rocks on the driveway and start crushing... this is a great machine, even though a bit more costly than you are hoping for, i think..

Here's what I pay a ton for washed crushed stone in Central Ma. picked up.

1/2" $11.45, 3/4" $9.95, 1 1/2" $8.95

 

[KYErik]

Western KY (we have lots of quarries here in limestone country)

If you pick it up at the quarry:

$7.85 per ton for "road pack"

$8.50 per to for 1", 2" or 3"

Today in S.E Oklahoma crusher run was $4.95 a ton picked up, I don't know about the trucking. We haul our own and the plant is 10 miles from us. I haven't asked about the sizes like you are mentioning, we just ask for crusher run!!

I knewit, but it just wouldt come to mind yesterday:

Here's a link to an Italian manufacturer of small mobile rock crushers, which just -might- ?? be affordable to some of us:

rtdiggr,
I'll take some and post them in the next few days. Doesn't get driven that much with the two kids. My 5 year old loves to ride in "Daddy's racecar". She'll tell me, "Daddy you better slow down, or the police is going to get you."

Bamatoolmaker,

I buy at the Madison Materials quarry in Brooksville. I went last week and got #78 washed ($6.50 a ton) and a couple weeks ago I got #57 washed ($5.50 a ton). I have a 1977 GMC C70 single axle dump and can haul 8-9 tons comfortably. The quarry will deliver (I think) if you are close enough, but you have to take a tri-axle load (27 tons). Not sure on the price delivered. I guess they base that on mileage.

I live between Oneonta and Springville so I just make the 30 mile trip myself.
Where do you live?

Chris

firefighter: I live in Ashville didn't you used to work here?

 

[midlifecrisis]

The last I bought from a pit 12 miles from here was $6/yard for 3/4" crusher run and $6/yard for class 5 road mix that meets state specs. I knew it was a fair price, just didn't know how fair, till now. They will deliver 12 yards for $120 to me, but I'd just buy a little as I had money, and spread and pack.
