Hauling

What we move

Sand & aggregate

Dependable hauling for active job sites.

Expect a company-owned quad axle fleet equipped for bulk loads, waterproof tarps, and protective liners. Longhorn coordinates pickup and delivery for construction, roadwork, and infrastructure projects, with experienced drivers and direct communication to help keep material moving to schedule.

What to plan for: material type and volume, pickup and delivery locations, site access, and your required delivery window.

Millings & soil

Careful transport, clear job coordination.

For reclaimed millings and permitted non-hazardous soil, expect Longhorn to coordinate the haul around your project requirements and site conditions. The team can discuss load timing, access, and material handling before dispatch so deliveries and removals fit the work happening on site.

What to plan for: material description, estimated loads, any required permits or documentation, and site entry instructions.

Lime & deicing salt

Seasonal materials backed by local capacity.

Longhorn moves agricultural lime and deicing salt, with covered salt storage in Fort Plain and stockpile operations in Fort Plain and Albany. Expect a conversation about timing, destination, quantity, and seasonal demand, supported by the company’s regional facilities and hauling fleet.

What to plan for: product and quantity, delivery location, desired schedule, and any unloading requirements.
