I'm not sure how much my vehicle can hold
Preload the product to see how much weight or how much product your vehicle can hold.
Preloading the product to see how much weight or how much product your vehicle can hold is a wise decision. Those whom have never loaded landscaping materials before or if you are sending your employees to pick up and product but aren’t sure how many yards their truck can take then getting preloaded is the solution for you!
Preloading is the solution to many loading predicaments:
- How many bags of mulch will fit in my trunk?
- Not Sure how many pieces of sod will fit in your car?
- Not sure how many or have never had bulk items dumped into the back of your truck?
- It just rained and I’m not sure how many yards of dirt my truck will hold.
- I want to safely transport as many bags of beach pebble as I can but am afraid it may be too heavy
Remember! It is easier to come back and make a second trip then it is to replace your truck! Please be present during all preloads and communicate to the Big Earth Team when you are satisfied with the amount of product loaded. Big Earth reserves the right to refuse loading at our discretion. Safety is first and foremost and if conditions are deemed unsafe, we have the right refuse to load.
Preloading Process:
- Walk into any of our locations and visit the front desk
- Let a Big Earth Team Member know you need to be preloaded and what type of material you wish to get preloaded
- Leave a credit card to be held with the Team Member at the front desk while you are being preloaded
- Proceed around to loading area
- Observe as tractor, machine or team member loads your vehicle
- Go back to front desk and cash out
