FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Truck Transport
What factors influence the cost of dump truck transport in Spain?
Pricing is based on the distance (the "haulage leg"), the volume and weight of the load, and the road access conditions. For short-distance urban hauls (like soil removal), rates are often per trip or per hour, while long-distance hauls are typically calculated per ton-kilometer.
How do I find a dump truck with side-unloading?
Side-unloading is critical for certain warehouses or grain elevators with height restrictions. In the Lardi-Trans search filters or your request description, specify the required unloading type: rear-tip, side-tip, or three-way tipper.
Can I find work for a tipper in a different region?
Yes, the platform covers the entire Spanish territory. This is especially useful for owners of high-volume tippers (often called "bañeras") who follow the harvest campaigns from Andalusia to Castile and León. You can search for loads nationwide to plan your fleet's movement.
Does Lardi-Trans provide its own machinery?
No, Lardi-Trans is an online aggregator. We are not a construction firm or a fleet owner. We provide the marketplace where the customer (e.g., a construction company or farmer) connects directly with the independent carrier.
What documents are required for bulk transport in Spain?
The primary document is the "Carta de Porte" (Waybill). Certain materials (like quarry aggregates) may require quality certificates. For grain, phytosanitary certificates might be necessary. Drivers must hold the appropriate license (C or C+E) and a valid CAP (Certificate of Professional Competence).
What is the maximum weight a dump truck can carry?
This depends on the vehicle configuration. Rigid dump trucks (2, 3, or 4 axles) typically carry 10-20 tons. Tipper semi-trailers (bañeras) can carry up to 25-30 tons while staying within the 40-ton Total Authorized Mass (MMA) limit for standard Spanish road regulations.
