the measurements are in yards, their are 36" in a yard,
the company will tell you how many yards a truck holds.
then ask your question, tonnage of sand delivered.
you can take the loaded truck to a scale to weigh continence in truck, city dump, truck stop(that's where I took a pair of draft horses to weigh them)

On average, two heaping Bobcat buckets of sand, make a ton. That's a rough figure, mind you. But it's what the guys loading the truck go by.

If you know the weight of the truck, you need to also know the gross weight of the truck with the sand on it. You would then subtract the tare weight (weight of the truck) from the gross weight (weight of the truck with the load of sand on it) and this will give you your net weight (in pounds I'm assuming). You divide the pounds by 2,240 and this will give you the net tonage.

Ask the driver of the truck as it is usually weighed to make sure it is not overloaded before it leaves the gravel pit. He is usually told the tonage of the load.
