The plain-words read of this example
Covering 533.3 sq yd at 6.0 in takes 148.2 tons of dense-graded base (abc) in 7 loads. Legal: a 22.0 tons payload grosses 74,000 lb, 6,000 lb under 80,000 lb. Delivered, it costs about $5,025.22: $33.90 a ton or $9.42 a sq yd. Place it in 1 lift and test each for density. Confirm the material's unit weight with the quarry before you order.
