who charges the 14.99 a day for weekend rate? home depot? sorry, i'm confused. i plan to haul pretty clean top soil from the nursery 3 miles from my house. they sell a scoop(front end loader) for $25 or so. is about a yard. is a lot easier to move off a truck to the wheelbarrow than to shovel it in to the barrow off the ground. if i can get a std sized truck, no dually, i can bring it down one level into the back yard, and off load with no wheel barrow at all, and no 15' hill to keep climbing
