Use Your Own Trucks, or Ours: Flexible Earthworks Procurement

Use Your Own Trucks, or Ours: Flexible Earthworks Procurement

One of the most common reasons earthworks costs blow out is paying for things you already have. Bundled services often come as a package — the transport, the machine, the disposal, the management — whether your business needs all of it or not.

ReadyFill does it differently.

You decide what we handle

Every business is set up differently. Some own a fleet of trucks and machines and have operators on the payroll. Others hire in everything job by job. Most sit somewhere in between. Our procurement service is built to fit whichever one you are.

  • Just the sites. We find a suitable receiving site or fill supply. You move it with your own gear.
  • Sites and coordination. We find the sites, line up the dates and coordinate the movements, using your trucks and operators.
  • Sites, coordination and extra transport. When your own resources are stretched or you don’t have any, we source verified contractors, trucks and machines from our network.
  • Ongoing partnership. For businesses running several projects, we can look after material requests and scheduling across all of them.

Why using your own gear saves money

Your trucks are a cost whether they are working or not. Keeping them busy on shorter runs to closer sites is about the best return you can get on them. We don’t make you hand that work to someone else just because you want help finding a site.

Extra capacity without the overhead

When you do need more, you get it without buying another truck or putting another operator on full time. We draw on the verified contractors in our network, so you get professional people for the job in front of you and nothing permanent on your books.

Where transport is arranged through ReadyFill, those charges and responsibilities are agreed separately and upfront. That way you can see exactly what the job costs and exactly what you are saving.

Our price promise

Our price promise: we will either match the price you have, or make your job cheaper. Whichever way you use us — your gear, ours or a mix — the promise is the same.

What stays the same

You stay in control. Every site we find is offered to you to accept or decline first, and the site owner isn’t told anything until you have said yes. A person then rings the site to confirm before trucks are sent. Found and confirmed are two different things, and we keep them separate.

Get in touch

Tell us what gear you have and what the job needs, and we will fill in the rest. Post your job at ReadyFill or email info@readyfill.com.au and tell us what needs doing, where and when. The managed procurement service runs in South East Queensland for now; everywhere else, the ReadyFill platform, the map and free listings work exactly as they always have.
