When your project timeline depends on materials arriving exactly when scheduled, you can’t work with trucking companies that treat your delivery like just another load. A late concrete delivery means your crew sits idle. Damaged lumber means your framing gets pushed back a week.
Your materials get handled by experienced operators who understand the difference between hauling gravel and transporting precision equipment. Every load gets secured according to Department of Transportation standards, with proper permits handled for oversized transport.
You get direct communication about delivery windows so crew schedules stay coordinated. Emergency delivery options when unexpected delays threaten deadlines. Local expertise navigating seasonal restrictions and rural road weight limitations that derail projects managed by out-of-area trucking services.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking evolved from a logging operation we started in 1997 to full-time trucking and excavation services by 2020. When Josh’s son joined as partner in 2022, we became a true family business focused on being your long-term trucking solution.
We own our trucks instead of renting, which means faster response times and competitive pricing without rental markups. Our equipment stays maintained and ready because we control the maintenance schedule. When emergency deliveries or unexpected project changes arise, we respond immediately instead of waiting for rental availability.

Our professional material hauling services cover everything from aggregate delivery to heavy equipment transport. We handle excavators, bulldozers, compactors, and specialized construction tools with proper tie-down techniques and route planning for oversized loads. Every transport includes permit coordination and DOT-compliant securing methods.
Our construction material delivery services ensure gravel, sand, topsoil, concrete, and lumber arrive exactly when projects need them. We coordinate with Lake George area suppliers and understand seasonal availability affecting material sourcing. Direct relationships with local quarries mean competitive pricing and reliable supply chains.
Lake George’s construction season presents unique logistical challenges from spring mud season restrictions to winter weather limitations. We plan deliveries around seasonal road restrictions and understand local regulations that delay projects. Emergency delivery options keep critical projects moving when weather or equipment issues threaten deadlines. Our local expertise prevents delays and complications that derail projects managed by trucking companies unfamiliar with Adirondack region conditions.
We handle comprehensive material delivery including all construction aggregates like gravel, sand, topsoil, and crushed stone. Our trucking services cover lumber delivery, concrete transport, and specialty building materials requiring careful handling.
Heavy equipment hauling includes excavators, bulldozers, compactors, generators, and other construction machinery. We provide proper tie-down equipment and understand weight distribution requirements for safe transport. Oversized load permits and route planning ensure legal compliance and safe delivery.
Our drivers understand construction site logistics and can navigate tight access roads common in Lake George residential areas. We coordinate delivery timing with project schedules and work around other contractors to minimize site congestion.
Every oversized load starts with proper permit acquisition and route planning. We handle all Department of Transportation paperwork and coordinate with local authorities when transport requires special routing or timing restrictions.
Our drivers use proper securing techniques for different equipment types. Excavators require different tie-down methods than bulldozers, and we understand weight distribution requirements preventing load shifting during transport. All securing equipment meets or exceeds DOT specifications.
Route planning considers bridge weight limits, road width restrictions, and overhead clearances affecting heavy equipment transport in the Lake George area. We identify potential obstacles before loading and plan alternate routes when necessary to ensure safe, legal delivery.
Our primary service area covers Lake George and surrounding communities throughout Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. This includes Glens Falls, Queensbury, Fort Edward, Hudson Falls, and the broader Capital Region.
We understand local road conditions, seasonal restrictions, and municipal regulations affecting trucking operations in each area. Spring weight restrictions, rural road limitations, and seasonal access issues require local knowledge that prevents project delays.
Longer distance hauling is available for special projects or when local suppliers can’t meet specific material requirements. We coordinate with regional suppliers and arrange transport from quarries and equipment dealers throughout upstate New York when projects require specialized materials or equipment.
For standard material deliveries like gravel, sand, or topsoil, we typically need 24-48 hours notice to coordinate with suppliers and schedule trucks. This allows time to confirm material availability and plan efficient delivery routing.
Heavy equipment transport requires more advance planning, usually 3-5 days, because of permit requirements and route coordination. Oversized loads need Department of Transportation permits that can take several business days to process depending on load dimensions and transport route.
Emergency and rush delivery options are available when project delays or equipment failures create urgent material needs. We maintain relationships with local suppliers and keep trucks available for critical deliveries that can’t wait for standard scheduling. Rush deliveries may include premium pricing but can save project timelines when delays threaten completion dates.
We handle trucking services for residential construction projects including new home site preparation, septic system installation, and driveway construction. Residential deliveries require understanding tight access roads, protecting existing landscaping, and coordinating with homeowners’ schedules.
Commercial and industrial projects receive the same professional service with additional capabilities for larger volume deliveries and specialized equipment transport. We understand commercial site logistics, safety requirements, and coordination with multiple contractors typical of larger projects.
Our goal is expanding commercial and industrial services, particularly snow removal operations for the upcoming winter season. This includes salt and sand delivery, snow hauling, and equipment transport for seasonal operations. We’re building relationships with commercial property managers and industrial facilities throughout the Lake George area.
Equipment ownership sets us apart from trucking companies that rent trucks and pass those costs to customers. We control maintenance schedules, availability, and can respond immediately to emergency delivery needs without waiting for rental equipment availability.
Family ownership means Josh is present on most jobs to ensure quality control and direct communication. You work directly with decision-makers instead of dispatchers who can’t authorize changes or solve problems when delivery complications arise.
Our local expertise with Lake George area conditions prevents delays and complications affecting trucking companies unfamiliar with seasonal restrictions, rural road limitations, and local supplier relationships. We understand soil conditions, drainage requirements, and construction practices specific to the Adirondack region that ensure proper material selection and delivery timing.
