Idle cost guide
See the idle-cost math
When a pile runs out, haul trucks, rollers, and laborers keep burning money. Use this calculator with your crew mix, then try the demo to see how live stone and haul tracking shrinks that waste.
Estimated idle cost
~$494
Hourly burn: ~$494/hr
This is a planning estimate, not a quote. Overtime and rented equipment can push the number higher. Preventing one shortage often pays for the visibility many times over.
Why idle minutes matter on haul jobsites
A stone shortage does not pause a single truck. It parks the chain: loaders waiting on material, haul trucks in a line, rollers and laborers standing by. HaulTrack surfaces pile burn and load pace early enough to reorder before that chain stops.
How HaulTrack cuts the burn
Operators log loads as they happen. Supervisors update stone status. Project managers see runout risk and vendor timing in one hub. The same data that tallies the day also protects margin when a pile is about to go red.
