Looking for a trucker to haul stone
 
We have a landscape project 2/3 finished. Ran out of the stone. Local place has no more. We found some in Zephyrhills, but they dont deliver to the villages.
We need about 4 yards. Short of renting a dump trailer from HD, does anyone have any ideas?

Check with Dirt Cheap up near Marion Market.

I used them and they were great.

4 yards is a lot of stone and a lot of weight, way over pick up truck, i agree with above if you can match locally I would do that. If you go the HD route make sure they know how much you are picking up.

We used Whole 9 Yards.

As suggested, Dirt Cheap can help you out.

Thanks. Dirt cheap didn't want to haul. Since the project is already started, we didn't want to change stone in the middle and no one has firestone.
We may have found someone with a dump truck though through some horsey connections.

Call the quarry direct… They have haulers …. Ask for Mr. Slate

You may want to request they do not use their employee Fred to deliver. He is really a very nice guy, but drama seems to follow him.

Wait it out. We wanted our landscaping done with white river rock. All of the quarries were out of it. Our landscaper suggested we pick a different stone but we knew what we wanted so we waited. Sure enough, two weeks later, white river rock was available again.
