Decided to DIY with the help of some friends.

Any recommendations on places to get a truck (if we meet the minimum)? May not meet the minimum on just the patio but I have some additional work I may add in which could make it worth it.

Also, what is usually the minimum on a truck?

Just make it bigger somehow. I don't know what the minimum is at all, just saying.

How patient are the trucks? Say you have 3 wheel barrows will they sit there and wait while you wheel the loads from the front of the house to the back to dump?

They will just charge you a short load charge

So a typical truck holds like 8-10 yards
If you need less than that they will charge you a short load charge

Consider renting a Georgia Buggy if the truck can’t get to the patio. They run around $120 from AAA Rental. Had some guys I know pour a patio for me a couple years ago and I rented one for them. It saved a LOT of time and manual labor.

around here, the minimum is usually 2 yds but they charge a load charge of $20 a yard under 8 yards. So if you bought 4 yards, you would pay an additional 80 on the truck.
