Transportation

Not sure how much mulch will fit in your truck? Here’s an approximate guide referring to manufacturers’ hauling capacity values. Generally four-wheel drive trucks haul more than those with two-wheel drive.

This chart will tell you how many loads will be needed according to the respective truck type.

Generally your full size pickup truck will accommodate two to three cubic yards of mulch, while a smaller (S-10 or Ranger) type of pickup truck will hold one to two cubic yards.

½ ton pickup truck 6.5’ bed 0 loads
Same truck with 8 foot bed 0 loads
S/10 ranger 6.5’ bed 0 loads
Same truck with 8 foot bed 0 loads
¾ ton pickup truck 6.5 bed 0 loads
