Thanks, that's what I would think, if it were cubic yards, but there is no way this guy delivered, in my driveway, a pile of dirt that was 30 feet by 30 feet by 30 feet. Also, there is no way he delivered a pile that was 1 yard by 1 yard by 10 yards, ie., 3 feet by 3 feet by 30 feet high. The guy delivered a pile that was about 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 to at most 4 feet high. I can't see how that is 10 yards, but he charged my 30 dollars per yard, i.e. $300.00. I think he ripped me off.

Ten yards would would cover an area about 10 x 10 by about six feet high when dumped out of a truck. If it was not a dump truck, a fairly big one at that, then you got taken.

Dirt cheep is a misnomer. Just like in the Esquire magazine good dirt costs.

Had some landscaping done at my place. The landscaper was moonlighting from Homedepot but ordered 3 yards from another firm. Dumptruck came and delivered, the landscaper looked at it, told the driver it wasn't 3 yards and we weren't paying. Major bru-ha-ha. Major. Dumptruck driver drove off in a rage. The owner of the truck firm was there in an hour, mad as hell. He took a look at the delivery, agreed with landscaper and said the order was free.
