About Tyler
Tyler ran his own tri-axle and dump-trailer operation in Central Florida for nine years before moving into dispatch and freight coordination. Over that stretch he moved roughly 14,000 loads of fill, aggregate, and millings across the state.
On WeGravel he covers the side most homeowners never see: how trucks actually get loaded, why a 20-ton load is not always cheaper than two 10-ton loads, and what "delivered price" really includes.
He is based outside Lakeland and still rides along on local jobs when he can.
Areas of focus
- Bulk delivery and routing
- Truck sizing and access
- Aggregate and road base
- Per-load vs per-ton pricing
