How to calculate asphalt truckloads
This calculator finds how many truckloads are needed to deliver a given tonnage of asphalt, based on each truck's carrying capacity.
How the calculation works
Truckloads needed = Asphalt tonnage ÷ Truck capacity (rounded up to a whole truck). You can't order a fractional truckload, so always round up.
Example
180 tons of asphalt needed, with trucks rated for 25 tons each: 180 ÷ 25 = 7.2, rounded up to 8 truckloads.

Pro Tips for Asphalt Truckloads
- Confirm your specific hauler's actual truck capacity rather than assuming a standard tonnage, since truck sizes vary.
- Coordinate truckload timing with your paving crew's placement rate to avoid asphalt cooling too much while waiting to be placed.
Common Asphalt Truckloads Mistakes to Avoid
- Rounding down instead of up on truckload count, which would leave you short of material for the job.
