Volume discount for Ballast.

Post by Glenn Brooks »

Been Doing some due diligence to build out a RR down in Arizona. Saw an add on Facebook for volume discounts for ballast, from Arizona Sand and Gravel.

As we might need up to 500 yards of 3/4 minus, decided to contact them and get a quote.

This is what they sent me:

Used to buy from local company, Meyer Material, by the semi load, it was bought out by https://ozinga.com/product/gravel/

See if this conglomerate or other other gravel outfits have plants in your state.

Luckily it is only about twelve miles to the pit in Algonquin, Illinois, so shipping is not too much.
