Aggregate hauling is the business of transporting these materials from one location to another — like from a quarry or plant to a construction site, ready-mix plant, or stockpile yard.
At 326 Trucking, we serve a variety of industries, including:
Road construction
Highway and bridge work
Site prep
Concrete batch plants
Utility contractors
We partner with ready mix companies and general contractors to match freight needs with dependable owner-operators.
Most aggregate is hauled in end dump trailers. Here's why:
Aluminum end dumps are lighter than steel, which means you can haul more material per trip (higher payload).
They're also rust-resistant — which matters when working with wet materials like sand or limestone.
A tarp system is required to comply with safety and environmental rules.
Here’s what an average day might look like for a 326 Trucking partner:
Pick up the first load from a quarry or material plant.
Deliver it to the customer’s site or plant.
Repeat 2–3 more times, depending on route and distance.
Occasionally run a backhaul — bringing another load on the way back to avoid running empty.
Yes — especially for owner-operators who manage their time well and keep up with maintenance.

Consistent work across Texas and beyond
Repeat customers and steady routes
Lower equipment wear compared to long-haul freight
