How many yards of dirt can I safely carry?

Asked by Guru9D4V45 Oct 24, 2020 at 04:07 PM about the Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Question type: General

I own a 1994 Silverado 1500 with 190,000 miles.  I need to put new soil in my garden and stone on a walkway.  How many yards may I carry per trip (about 20 miles)? I will require about 7 yard of garden soil and 4 yards of gravel.

I think it would depend on what condition your trucks suspension is in. If it were me i would have the place load my truck until it squatted down. The person who loads your truck will be able to tell when too much is loaded if he has worked there for more then a week. Hope this helps

Less than one cubic yard. More like 1/2 yard as a yard is about 3,000 pounds. If this is lightweight potting soil I am sure you can haul a yard or more at a time.
