You’re not just hiring trucks – you’re getting peace of mind. When materials arrive on time and intact, your construction timeline stays intact too. No more waiting around for deliveries that may or may not show up.
Our professional material hauling services in Bacon Hill mean your crew stays productive and your project budget stays predictable. We handle everything from construction aggregates to heavy equipment transport with the kind of reliability that keeps contractors coming back.
When you work with a trucking company that actually understands construction timelines, you spend less time managing logistics and more time building.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Bacon Hill and the surrounding Adirondack region since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation and trucking services by 2020, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022.
This isn’t some corporate trucking operation where you’re just another invoice number. Josh is present on almost every job, ensuring the same family-business accountability that built our reputation one project at a time throughout Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties.
We know the back roads, the seasonal access challenges, and the local suppliers. That local knowledge prevents the costly surprises that derail construction projects and strain budgets.
First, we provide clear, upfront estimates with no hidden fees – you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. We handle all necessary permits and regulatory compliance professionally to keep your project moving forward legally.
Next, we plan realistic timelines with contingency planning built in. Your project stays on track even when weather doesn’t cooperate, because we understand Adirondack region conditions better than trucking companies from outside the area.
Finally, we execute with careful site management that protects existing structures and landscaping while delivering your materials exactly where they need to be. Our well-maintained trucks and experienced drivers mean faster completion times and fewer delays on your timeline.
Ready to get started?
Our trucking services in Bacon Hill cover everything from construction aggregates and building materials to heavy equipment hauling. Whether you need sand, gravel, stone delivered to your job site or excavators transported between locations, we have the equipment and expertise to handle it safely.
Bacon Hill’s rural location means many trucking companies won’t make the trip, or they charge premium rates for the distance. We’re already working in the area regularly, which means competitive pricing and reliable service for local contractors and homeowners.
Our heavy equipment hauling experts understand the weight restrictions on local bridges and the seasonal road conditions that affect transport routes. This local knowledge prevents delays and ensures your equipment arrives ready to work, not stuck on the wrong side of a weight-restricted bridge.
We haul all standard construction materials including sand, gravel, crushed stone, topsoil, and various aggregates. Our trucks are equipped to handle both loose materials and palletized building supplies like lumber, concrete blocks, and bagged materials.
We also transport heavy equipment including excavators, skid steers, and other construction machinery. Our fleet includes both dump trucks for loose materials and flatbed trailers for equipment hauling. The key is matching the right truck to your specific material and job site requirements.
Since we work throughout the Adirondack region regularly, we understand which materials are readily available locally versus what needs to be hauled from further distances, which helps keep your project costs reasonable.
We plan delivery schedules around your construction timeline, not our convenience. When you need materials delivered at 7 AM so your crew can start pouring concrete, we make it happen. When weather delays your project by two days, we adjust our delivery schedule accordingly without charging rescheduling fees.
Our scheduling process starts with understanding your project phases and critical path activities. We coordinate with your general contractor or project manager to ensure materials arrive exactly when needed – not too early where they’re sitting around getting damaged or stolen, and definitely not too late where your crew is standing around waiting.
For larger projects, we can stage deliveries over multiple days or weeks, storing materials at our facility and delivering them as each phase of your project requires them.
The biggest difference is accountability. Josh is present on almost every job, so when you call with a question or concern, you’re talking to an owner who was actually there and knows your specific situation. You’re not getting transferred through three departments to reach someone reading notes from a computer screen.
We also understand local conditions that bigger trucking companies miss. We know which roads get soft in spring, which bridges have weight restrictions, and which job sites require special access considerations. This prevents the delays and extra costs that happen when trucking companies show up unprepared.
Our equipment is well-maintained because we depend on it every day. We’re not running trucks until they break down – we maintain them properly because our reputation depends on showing up when promised.
Absolutely. Many of our clients are homeowners building new homes who need land clearing debris hauled away and construction materials delivered. We understand that residential projects often have tighter budgets and more flexible timelines than commercial work.
For residential customers, we’re especially careful about protecting existing landscaping, driveways, and structures during delivery. We also coordinate with homeowners’ schedules since many want to be present when materials are delivered to their property.
Whether you’re building a new home, installing a septic system, or creating a new driveway, we handle the material transport so you can focus on your project. We work with homeowners the same way we work with contractors – clear communication, fair pricing, and professional service.
We service all of Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties, with Bacon Hill being right in our primary service area. This includes surrounding communities like Corinth, Hadley, Stony Creek, and the broader Lake George region.
Our local focus means we’re already working in these areas regularly, so we can offer competitive pricing and flexible scheduling that larger regional trucking companies can’t match. We know the local suppliers, the seasonal road conditions, and the most efficient routes between job sites.
If you’re outside our primary service area but have a significant project, we’re willing to discuss it. Our goal is building long-term relationships with customers, so we’ll work with you to find a solution that makes sense for both of us.
Our trucks are properly maintained and equipped for the specific materials we’re hauling. Loose materials like sand and gravel are transported in clean dump trucks with tight-fitting tailgates to prevent spillage. Bagged or palletized materials are secured properly and covered when weather requires it.
We also plan routes carefully to avoid unnecessary rough roads that could damage materials or cause spillage. Our drivers are experienced in handling different types of construction materials and understand how to load, transport, and unload them without damage.
If materials do arrive damaged due to our handling, we take responsibility and make it right. This might mean replacing damaged materials or adjusting the invoice. Our reputation depends on delivering materials in the condition you expect them, so we take this seriously.
