HOW MUCH DOES A DUMP TRUCK
LOAD OF SAND COST? REAL TULSA NUMBERS.
A full load of sand runs $480 to $645 delivered in Tulsa County, all-in, depending on which sand rides in the truck. Here is the whole answer: what a load is, which sand your job needs, and what moves the price.
01
THE SHORT ANSWER
One truckload is about 14 to 16 tons of sand, roughly 10 cubic yards, covering about 800 to 1,000 square feet at 3 inches deep. The type decides the price, and the types are not interchangeable.
THE WORKHORSE
Manufactured sand, coarser and sharper, for concrete mixing, granular backfill, and the bedding under pavers and flagstone: $480 a load, delivered.
THE GENERAL-PURPOSE ONE
Fill sand, for backfilling, raising low ground, and bedding pipe and utility trenches: $645 a load, delivered.
02
WHAT MOVES THE PRICE
Three levers, no mystery.
THE SAND
Washing and grading are what you pay for: each of the three sands is processed differently, which is the whole $480-to-$645 spread on the sand page. Order by the job, not by the name.
THE COUNTY LINE
Every price here is for Tulsa County. Outside it, the same load runs $50 more: the masonry sand load becomes $600 delivered.
THE SCALE TICKET
Loads are quoted at 14 to 16 tons and the final number comes off the scale ticket, so you pay for weighed sand, not a guess. Multi-load job or repeat work? Ask about discounts.

04
BY THE BAG VS BY THE LOAD
The math people do wrong at the hardware store.
WHAT A LOAD REALLY IS
Roughly 10 cubic yards, about 270 cubic feet. The bagged sand at a big-box store comes in half-cubic-foot bags, so matching one truckload means hundreds of bags, a trailer, and a very long afternoon.
THE ALL-IN PER-TON NUMBER
On a full 14-ton load, $550 delivered masonry sand works out to about $39 a ton, haul included, and $480 manufactured sand to about $34. That is the number to compare against any per-ton price you see online.
PRICE YOUR EXACT JOB
Measure length, width, and depth, and the calculator on the sand page turns it into tons, loads, and a real delivered price you can book against.

PRICE QUESTIONS, STRAIGHT ANSWERS
How much is a dump truck load of sand?
In Tulsa County, a full dump truck load of sand runs $480 to $645 delivered, all-in, depending on the sand: manufactured sand $480, masonry sand $550, fill sand $645. Deliveries outside Tulsa County run $50 more per load. Prices are estimates plus sales tax, confirmed on your quote.
How many tons of sand are in a dump truck load?
Our trucks haul 14 to 16 tons per load, which for sand works out to roughly 10 cubic yards. That covers about 800 to 1,000 square feet at 3 inches deep. Final tonnage is by scale ticket, so you pay for what was actually weighed.
What does sand cost per ton delivered?
On a full 14-ton load, masonry sand at $550 delivered works out to about $39 a ton with the sand and the haul included, and manufactured sand at $480 comes to about $34. Quarry per-ton prices you see online are pickup-at-the-pit numbers; moving 14 tons is the expensive part, so compare delivered totals.
What kind of sand do I need for a sandbox or pool?
Masonry sand: fine, washed, and the standard for sandboxes, play areas, and pool bases. For a sandbox you likely need far less than a full load, so call us and we will figure the right amount. Manufactured sand is the pick for concrete mixing and paver bedding, and fill sand is the general-purpose one for backfill and trenches. The full rundown is on the bulk sand page.
Is it cheaper to buy sand by the bag or by the load?
By the load, and it is not close for real quantities. A full load is roughly 10 cubic yards, about 270 cubic feet, which is hundreds of the half-cubic-foot bags a big-box store sells. If the job needs more than a corner of a pickup bed, bulk delivered sand wins on price and on your back.
Does the delivered sand price include everything?
The price is all-in for the sand and the delivery, dumped in a pile where you point us; sales tax is added on the quote. Spreading is not included. Outside Tulsa County the same masonry sand load runs $600 instead of $550.
