Sitework · Excavation logistics
Plan excavation volume and legal truck loads.
Convert measured bank volume through swell and density, then use the greater of truck bed capacity or payload limits for a transparent haul estimate.

Transparent calculation
Bank yards become loose yards—and truck weight still matters.
Dimensions produce in-place bank volume. Swell produces loose hauling volume, while entered bank density produces estimated weight. The calculator rounds both load constraints up and uses the larger count.
