You know what it’s like when materials don’t show up when promised. Construction crews standing around. Schedules pushed back. Costs adding up.
That doesn’t happen with our trucking services. We handle construction material delivery, aggregate transport, and heavy equipment hauling with the same attention to detail we bring to our excavation work. Your materials arrive when scheduled, in the condition you expect them.
Because we own our equipment fleet, we’re not waiting on rental availability or dealing with someone else’s maintenance issues. When we commit to a delivery time, we control every variable that makes it happen.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been handling construction projects in the Capital Region since 1997. What started as a logging business evolved into full-time excavation and trucking when we saw what contractors really needed.
Josh runs the company with his son as partner, and you’ll see Josh on almost every job. That’s not typical for trucking companies, but we’re not typical contractors. We’re building relationships, not just moving materials.
The remote, rural nature of Barkers Grove means understanding local road conditions, seasonal challenges, and the logistics of getting equipment to properties that aren’t always easy to access. We’ve been navigating these conditions for over two decades.
First, we discuss your material delivery needs, timeline, and any site access considerations. We’ve handled everything from aggregate delivery to rural home sites to heavy equipment transport for commercial projects.
Next, we coordinate with your suppliers or handle material sourcing if needed. Our trucking services integrate with your construction schedule, not the other way around. We plan delivery timing around your crew availability and weather conditions.
On delivery day, our professional drivers handle materials with care and place them exactly where you need them on-site. We understand that proper material placement saves you time and labor costs. The job isn’t finished until materials are positioned for your next construction phase and the site is clean.

Our trucking company handles the full range of construction material delivery throughout the Capital Region. Stone, gravel, sand, and aggregate materials for foundations, driveways, and site preparation. Heavy equipment transport when you need machinery moved between job sites.
In Barkers Grove and the surrounding rural areas, material delivery requires understanding seasonal road restrictions, narrow access routes, and properties where standard delivery trucks can’t reach. We plan each delivery route in advance and bring the right equipment for your specific site conditions.
The remote location of many properties in the area means delivery timing becomes even more critical. When materials have to travel longer distances and navigate challenging access, there’s no room for equipment failures or scheduling mistakes. That’s why we maintain our own fleet and control the entire delivery process.
We handle all standard construction materials including stone, gravel, sand, aggregate, fill dirt, and topsoil. Our trucking services also cover heavy equipment transport, lumber delivery, and specialized construction materials.
The key is matching the right truck to your material type and delivery site. For aggregate materials, we use dump trucks with hydraulic beds for precise placement. Heavy equipment requires lowboy trailers and proper tie-down equipment. We assess each delivery requirement and bring the appropriate equipment to handle materials safely and efficiently.
Our local knowledge of Barkers Grove area properties helps us plan delivery routes that work for both the materials and your site access. Some rural properties require smaller trucks or special timing to avoid road weight restrictions during certain seasons.
Rural delivery requires more planning than standard trucking services, but we’ve been handling these challenges in the Capital Region for over 25 years. We start by assessing your property access, including road conditions, overhead clearances, and turning radius requirements.
For properties with challenging access, we bring smaller trucks that can navigate narrow roads or steep driveways. Sometimes this means multiple trips instead of one large delivery, but materials still arrive on schedule. We coordinate with local road departments when seasonal weight restrictions affect delivery timing.
Weather plays a bigger role in rural deliveries, especially during mud season or winter conditions. We build contingency time into delivery schedules and keep you informed of any adjustments needed. The goal is getting materials to your site safely without damaging your property or access roads.
Our trucking company pricing covers material transport, professional placement at your site, and cleanup of any spillage or debris from the delivery process. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees for standard delivery situations.
Additional services like extended wait time, special placement requirements, or challenging site access may involve additional costs, but we discuss these during the initial consultation. You’ll know the complete cost before we schedule delivery.
We also handle coordination with material suppliers when needed, ensuring materials meet your specifications and delivery timing works with your construction schedule. This integrated approach often saves money compared to managing trucking and material sourcing separately.
For standard construction material delivery in Barkers Grove, we recommend scheduling at least one week in advance during busy construction season. This allows time for route planning, material coordination, and scheduling around weather conditions.
Heavy equipment hauling or specialized deliveries may require more lead time, especially if permits are needed for oversized loads. We handle permit applications as part of our trucking services, but government processing times affect overall scheduling.
Emergency or rush deliveries are possible depending on our current schedule and material availability. Our advantage as a local trucking company is flexibility – we’re not locked into rigid corporate scheduling systems. We work with your project timeline whenever possible.
Yes, our trucking company handles both residential and commercial construction material delivery throughout the Capital Region. Residential projects typically involve foundation materials, driveway stone, and landscaping supplies. Commercial work includes larger aggregate deliveries and heavy equipment transport.
The approach is different for each project type. Residential deliveries require more attention to protecting existing landscaping and structures. Commercial projects often involve coordinating with multiple contractors and meeting specific delivery timing requirements.
Our experience with both markets means understanding the unique requirements of each. Homeowners want minimal disruption to their property. Commercial contractors need materials delivered precisely when scheduled to keep crews productive. We adjust our trucking services to meet these different priorities.
Weather is always a factor in construction material delivery, especially in upstate New York. We monitor conditions closely and communicate with customers about any necessary schedule adjustments before delivery day arrives.
Our trucking company maintains realistic scheduling that accounts for seasonal weather patterns. During winter months or mud season, we build extra time into delivery schedules and use equipment appropriate for conditions. Safety for our drivers and protection of your property always take priority.
When weather delays are unavoidable, we reschedule deliveries as quickly as conditions allow and keep you updated on revised timing. Our goal is minimizing project delays while ensuring safe delivery of materials. Most weather delays are measured in days, not weeks, and we work to get back on schedule quickly.
