All of our prices are by ton (which is 2,000 pounds). There are roughly 1.5 tons per yard (1 yard = 1.5 tons). To convert yards to tons, multiply the total yardage by 1.5. For example, if you need 10 yards, multiply 10 yards x 1.5 = 15 tons. To get back to yards from tons, divide 15 tons ÷ 1.5 = 10 yards.
(Tons ÷ 1.5 = Yards) (Yards x 1.5 = Tons)
One Truckload is defined in this website as a load of 14 tons (28,000 lbs, or 9 and 1/3 yards).
