You can get that stuff at a quarry. Cheap. I coincidentally was in the market for some 3 weeks or so ago. Screened loam was, like, $20 a ton. It's not my line of work (by any stretch), so I was awestruck that I could order a ton of anything that would cost $20.
Around here, a truck to move tonnage costs $100 per hour. There are a lot of fellas that own such trucks (they're all out there busy busy and in high evidence now that construction companies are back open) and make a living, but I can't think this is the kind of living that goes along with an owner of a $1.5 million house.
Someone can correct me if "screened loam" is not what goes under cement pads for houses. Topsoil would certainly be a lot more, but the cost of material is what it is; the labor is where the profit and compensation are. But still, if we're talking trucking, there doesn't seem to be a lotta $$$ for "truck and labor" business.
