When your construction materials arrive on time, your entire project timeline stays intact. No more waiting around for deliveries that should have been there yesterday. No more scrambling to find last-minute trucking when your regular hauler falls through.
You get materials delivered exactly when your crew needs them. Equipment moved safely to where it belongs. Debris hauled away so your site stays clean and productive.
Your contractors can focus on building instead of logistics. That’s what happens when you work with a trucking company that understands construction schedules and actually shows up when we say we will.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Northumberland and the Capital Region for over 25 years. We started as a logging operation and evolved into full-service excavation and trucking because our customers needed reliable material transport.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation that disappears when problems arise. Our equipment stays local, our drivers know these roads, and we understand the seasonal challenges that affect trucking in upstate New York.
When you need sand delivered to a residential site or heavy equipment moved to a commercial job, you’re working with people who’ve been handling these exact situations for decades in this exact area.
First, we discuss your material needs, delivery timeline, and site access requirements. We’ve been to most job sites in Northumberland before, so we know which locations present challenges and how to handle them.
Next, we coordinate pickup from your supplier or our material sources. Our drivers understand how to properly load different materials – from loose aggregates to heavy equipment – so everything arrives in the condition you expect.
Finally, we deliver on schedule with the right equipment for your site conditions. Whether you need materials placed in a specific location or just need reliable transport, we handle the logistics so your project keeps moving forward.

Our trucking services cover everything from aggregate delivery to heavy equipment transport throughout Northumberland and surrounding areas. We handle sand, gravel, stone, topsoil, and construction debris with the right trucks for each job.
Heavy equipment hauling requires specialized trailers and experienced drivers who understand load securement and route planning. We move excavators, bulldozers, and other construction machinery safely between job sites.
Northumberland’s mix of rural properties and established neighborhoods means access challenges that generic trucking companies don’t understand. We know which roads handle heavy loads, where seasonal restrictions apply, and how to navigate tight residential sites without damaging landscaping or driveways.
We haul all standard construction materials including sand, gravel, crushed stone, topsoil, fill dirt, and recycled concrete. Our trucks handle both loose materials and bagged products depending on your project needs.
For heavy materials like large stone or dense aggregates, we use appropriate dump trucks that can handle the weight without damaging your driveway or site access. We also coordinate with local suppliers throughout the Capital Region to source materials at competitive prices.
If you need specialty materials or have unique hauling requirements, we can usually accommodate with our varied fleet or through our network of trusted hauling partners.
Heavy equipment transport requires lowboy trailers, proper load securement, and drivers experienced with oversized loads. We handle excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, and other construction machinery up to legal weight limits.
Before transport, we inspect the equipment, plan the route to avoid low bridges or weight restrictions, and ensure all necessary permits are obtained. Our drivers understand how to load and secure different types of machinery safely.
We also coordinate timing with your project schedule so equipment arrives exactly when your crew needs it. No point in having an excavator delivered three days before you’re ready to use it, especially on residential sites where space is limited.
We primarily serve Northumberland and the surrounding Capital Region including Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties. Most of our regular routes stay within about 50 miles of our base, which keeps delivery costs reasonable.
For specialty hauls or larger projects, we can extend our service area depending on the job requirements. We work with contractors throughout upstate New York and understand the logistics of longer-distance material transport.
Local jobs get priority scheduling because we know these roads, understand seasonal access issues, and can respond quickly if weather or site conditions change your delivery needs.
Yes, coordinating with your other contractors is part of providing professional trucking service. We understand that material deliveries need to align with your construction schedule and site preparation progress.
We work directly with your general contractor, excavation crews, and material suppliers to ensure deliveries happen at the right time. No sense in delivering concrete sand before the excavation is complete or hauling away debris before demolition is finished.
Good communication prevents delays, reduces costs, and keeps your job site organized. We’ve been coordinating with contractors in this area for years and understand how construction timelines work.
Residential sites often present access challenges like narrow driveways, overhead wires, or soft ground conditions. We evaluate site access before scheduling delivery to ensure we bring the right size truck for your specific situation.
For tight access, we use smaller trucks that can maneuver safely without damaging landscaping, driveways, or neighboring properties. When ground conditions are soft, we can use trucks with wider tires or wait for better conditions if necessary.
We also coordinate with homeowners about timing, especially for early morning deliveries or when trucks need to cross lawns. Professional site access means protecting your property and maintaining good relationships with neighbors.
Weather is part of trucking in upstate New York, and we plan accordingly. Heavy rain can make some sites inaccessible, and winter conditions affect both safety and site access throughout the region.
When weather threatens scheduled deliveries, we contact you in advance to discuss options. Sometimes we can deliver early before conditions deteriorate, or we might need to reschedule for safety reasons.
We monitor weather forecasts and understand seasonal patterns in Northumberland. Spring mud season and winter ice conditions are predictable challenges that experienced local trucking companies plan for rather than use as excuses.
