Contractor Tools • Hauling Production • Earthwork Logistics

Hauling calculators built for people moving dirt.

Estimate truck count, cycle time, daily tonnage, dirt removal loads, and material conversions using practical assumptions for aggregate hauling and site logistics.

Estimate trucks Earthwork logistics
Truck count How many trucks to hit a daily ton target
Cycle time Load, travel, dump, return, and wait modeling
Earthwork Yards, tons, loads, and duration planning

Estimate Workflow

Model the job, save the assumptions, then ask for real pricing.

Each calculator creates an operational estimate summary with assumptions, truck count or production output, likely bottlenecks, and next-step considerations. You can save the estimate, email it, download a summary, or send it to Doyle Transit for pricing review.

  • Save Estimate for benchmark tracking
  • Email Estimate to a PM, estimator, or foreman
  • Download Summary for planning notes
  • Request Doyle Transit Pricing when the job is real

Truck Count Calculator

How many trucks do you need?

Use this when a foreman or estimator has a target tons-per-day number and needs a practical truck count. It models payload, cycle time, workday length, loading, dumping, and wait time.

Daily Production Calculator

Estimate what a truck spread can move in a day.

Start with the trucks you have and model expected loads, tons, and cycles. This helps compare a short haul with heavy wait time against a longer haul that moves smoothly.

Earthwork Hauling Estimator

Turn yards into tons, loads, trucks, and days.

Good for roughing in dirt removal, borrow movement, wet clay hauling, gypsum overburden, rock, sand, and demolition debris before the quote gets tightened up.

Cycle Time Estimator

Model the haul cycle before trucks show up.

Cycle time is the heartbeat of trucking production. A few minutes of wait time per cycle can change the truck count fast.

Material Volume Conversion

Convert yards, loose yards, and tons.

These are planning assumptions for early conversations. Tickets, scale weights, and actual material conditions should control the final number.

Future Quoting Foundation

Built so real Doyle Transit production data can improve the math later.

The calculator assumptions are separated from the page UI. Future versions can learn from dispatch records, GPS cycle times, payload history, load entries, idle time, and closeout notes.

NowManual planning assumptions for truck count and production.
NextUse portal averages to refine payload and cycle assumptions.
LaterAI-assisted haul plans and quote draft support with human approval.

Send the estimate and project details to dispatch.

Use this when the planning math is close enough to start a real conversation. The email will include the calculator summary, assumptions, material, distance, and timeline.
