Grindings Hauled as Fast as the Mill Cuts Them

A milling machine that stops for trucks is the most expensive machine on the job sitting still. B&D Transportation stages trucks under the conveyor and keeps the line moving so your grind finishes on time and the paving crew can follow.

We haul asphalt grindings — also called millings or recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) — from mill sites to recycling facilities, plants and storage yards across Southern California. It is some of the most common work our fleet does, and our drivers know the rhythm of pulling under a conveyor, taking a full load and getting out of the way.

Grindings are light and bulky, so a truck usually runs out of box space before it reaches its weight limit. That is why we run extended-box end dumps alongside our super dumps and super tags: more cubic capacity means fewer trips off a mill-and-fill job.

  • Trucks under the conveyor with no gaps between loads.
  • Extended boxes for light, high-volume millings.
  • Mill-and-fill coordination — the same dispatch can bring in the new hot mix.
  • Hauled to recyclers or yards you choose, supporting sustainable resurfacing.

The Right Trucks for Grinding Jobs

Extended Box End Dumps

Extra cubic capacity for grindings and loose material, where you run out of space before you run out of weight.

Super Dumps & Super Tags

Trailing-axle trucks with fast load and dump cycles — a favorite on active mill-and-pave jobs.

Super dump trucks

Super 10s

Compact trucks for grinding residential streets, alleys and parking lots where space is tight.

What Are Asphalt Grindings?

When a street, highway or parking lot is resurfaced, a cold planer (milling machine) grinds off the worn top layer of asphalt. The broken-up material that comes off the conveyor is called asphalt grindings, millings or RAP — recycled asphalt pavement. Most of it goes back to an asphalt plant or recycling yard to be reused in new pavement or base, which keeps it out of landfills and lowers the cost of the next project.

How Many Trucks Should Follow the Grinder?

It depends on how fast the machine cuts, the depth of the grind and how far the trucks travel to dump. As a starting point, count how many minutes it takes the mill to fill one truck, then divide the round-trip time to the dump site by that number. Add a truck for traffic. Our dispatchers size grinding jobs every week and will give you a straight answer when you call.

Paving the same section right after the grind? We also run hot mix asphalt hauling and can deliver base for dig-outs, so one dispatcher covers the whole mill-and-fill.

Grindings Hauling Throughout Southern California

We haul millings across Orange County, Los Angeles County, the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) and San Diego County — for city resurfacing programs, Caltrans and county work, commercial lots and private developments.

Questions

Grindings Hauling FAQ

What is the difference between asphalt grindings, millings and RAP?

They are the same material. Grindings or millings are the pieces of old asphalt removed by a milling machine; RAP (recycled asphalt pavement) is the industry term once it is processed for reuse.

Where do asphalt grindings go?

Usually to an asphalt plant or recycling facility, or to a storage yard the contractor chooses. Tell us the destination and we will haul to it.

Why use an extended box for grindings?

Grindings are light for their volume, so a standard box fills up before the truck reaches its legal weight. An extended box carries more cubic yards per trip, which means fewer trips.

Can you keep up with a large milling machine?

Yes. We size the truck count to the mill’s production and the round trip to the dump site, and we add vetted subhaulers when a big grind needs more trucks.

Do you haul grindings for public works projects?

Yes. We are DIR registered (PW-LR-1000942565) and CARB compliant (TRUCRS 30010) for prevailing-wage work.
