Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between fill dirt and top soil?

    Fill dirt is used for grading and site preparation to create stable, level foundations, while top soil contains organic matter ideal for landscaping and plant growth. At L and R Logistics, we haul both materials depending on your project needs in Shawnee.
  • How much gravel do I need for a driveway?

    A standard driveway typically requires 4 to 6 inches of gravel depth, with the total amount depending on length and width. For rural and developing areas around Shawnee, proper gravel depth improves access and stability, especially during Oklahoma's wet seasons.
  • When should I schedule sand delivery for construction?

    Schedule sand delivery right before you need it on-site to avoid material contamination or washout from rain. At L and R Logistics, we coordinate timing with Shawnee-area builders to ensure sand arrives job-ready and maintains quality.
  • Can dump trucks deliver to residential properties safely?

    Yes, dump trucks can safely deliver to residential properties when access roads and driveways are clear and stable. L and R Logistics uses properly sized trucks and understands local Shawnee terrain to ensure clean, efficient unloading without property damage.
  • What types of debris can be hauled off job sites?

    Construction debris such as wood, drywall, dirt, concrete, and general site waste can be hauled off to keep projects safe and organized. L and R Logistics provides reliable debris removal for Shawnee-area residential and commercial job sites.
  • Why is rock hauling important for rural properties?

    Rock hauling improves driveway stability, prevents erosion, and provides all-weather access on rural properties. In Shawnee's mix of rural land and developing areas, rock is commonly used to maintain reliable access roads during heavy rain or seasonal weather.
  • How does bulk hauling help large construction projects?

    Bulk hauling moves large volumes of materials efficiently, reducing delays and keeping construction schedules on track. L and R Logistics handles bulk loads of sand, gravel, dirt, and rock with a fleet designed for safe, timely transport across Shawnee and surrounding areas.
  • What's the biggest mistake with top soil delivery?

    Ordering top soil without preparing the delivery area leads to uneven placement and wasted material. At L and R Logistics, we recommend clearing and grading the site beforehand so top soil can be spread efficiently for landscaping or grading projects.
  • Does gravel work well in Oklahoma weather?

    Yes, gravel is highly effective in Oklahoma's climate because it drains well during heavy rain and resists erosion. For Shawnee-area driveways and access roads, gravel provides durable, all-season stability that handles both wet and dry conditions.
  • How do I prepare my property for fill dirt delivery?

    Clear the delivery area of obstacles, mark the drop zone, and ensure trucks can access and turn around safely. L and R Logistics works with Shawnee property owners to confirm site readiness so fill dirt placement supports proper grading and foundation work.
  • What materials are commonly hauled for land development?

    Fill dirt, gravel, sand, and rock are the most common materials hauled for land development and site preparation. These materials support grading, drainage, road building, and foundation stability across residential and commercial projects in the Shawnee area.
  • Can hauling services reach areas outside Shawnee?

    Yes, hauling services are available beyond Shawnee to nearby communities and regional job sites. L and R Logistics serves surrounding areas connected by local highways, offering flexible short-haul and regional dump truck transport for materials and debris.
