Pricing & Delivery

Trade Master is a contractor-first aggregate delivery platform for Metro Phoenix. This page explains how delivered estimates are structured so you always know what you’re looking at.

Quick view – what you’ll see on every estimate

• Material – price per ton for the rock or base you’re ordering.
• Delivery – address-based delivery fee shaped by distance, zone, tonnage, and access.
• Tax / fuel notes – how taxes and any fuel or surcharge rules apply.
• Status – always labeled as an estimate until dispatch confirms.

Estimate only — final pricing and delivery window are confirmed by Trade Master dispatch.

How pricing is structured

Trade Master uses a split-display pricing model designed for contractors:

• Material – per-ton pricing for each material type (for example: quarter minus / decomposed granite fines, landscape rock, and ABC / road base).
• Delivery – an address-based delivery fee shaped by factors like distance, zone, tonnage, and access constraints.
• Tax / fuel notes – clear notes on how taxes and any fuel or surcharge logic apply.

You should always see these elements presented separately in an estimate so you can understand how the delivered total is structured.

Estimate only — final pricing and delivery window are confirmed by Trade Master dispatch.

All pricing and delivery windows are confirmed by dispatch; online outputs are estimates until that confirmation happens.

Why contractors prefer this structure

Trade Master is built to reduce jobsite surprises. This structure makes every estimate easier to review, approve, and repeat.

• Clear separation of material vs. delivery logic
• Address-based estimate structure (no mystery bundling)
• Delivery window confirmed before dispatch
• Jobsite access reviewed before a truck rolls
• Proof-of-delivery documentation as part of the workflow

Estimate only — final pricing and delivery window are confirmed by Trade Master dispatch.

How Delivered Estimates Work

• You enter your job-site address, material, and approximate tons.
• Trade Master returns an instant delivered estimate that reflects material plus delivery logic, structured for contractors.
• The estimate clearly indicates that it is subject to confirmation.
• Dispatch then reviews the job (access, zone, schedule, and any notes) and confirms:
  • the final delivered price,
  • the delivery window (treated as a window, not an exact appointment time), and
  • any special conditions or constraints.

Online tools are built to reduce guessing and phone-tag, but dispatch remains the source of truth for final pricing and scheduling.

What Dispatch Confirms

Dispatch reviews every request before a truck is sent. When you submit an estimate request, you should expect dispatch to:

• Confirm the material and grade (e.g., minus vs screened vs washed) so you are getting the right product for your use case.
• Confirm the delivery fee logic based on your address, zone, and requested tonnage.
• Confirm the delivery window as a time window rather than an exact clock time.
• Confirm job-site access details (gate width, overhead clearance, slope, surface strength such as new concrete or soft asphalt).
• Confirm any special handling such as street dumping or tight residential access (and whether additional acknowledgments are needed).

If anything is unclear, dispatch will clarify by phone or text before the truck is loaded.

Wrong-Rock Prevention & Expectations

Trade Master includes wrong-rock prevention steps in every estimate:

• Material education – minus grades contain fines/dust to help compaction; screened and washed grades reduce fines for cleaner drainage and different appearance.
• Natural variation – rock and gravel are natural products; color and size can vary by quarry vein, batch, moisture, and lighting.
• Wet vs dry guidance – the same material can look darker when wet and lighter when dry; job-site photos and online images are guides, not perfect matches.
• Confirmation checklist – before submitting an estimate request, you’ll see a checklist that mirrors the on-page confirmation component:
  • acknowledge wet vs dry appearance changes,
  • acknowledge fines/gradation behavior for minus grades,
  • acknowledge site access and dump-location considerations.

These steps are designed to prevent surprises and disputes before a truck is dispatched.

Scheduling & Access – Confirm with Dispatch

Trade Master serves contractors across Metro Phoenix and the Valley. Because dispatch reality depends on truck availability, zone, and job-site conditions:

• Standard delivery windows and lead times are Confirm with dispatch.
• Minimum order quantities and small-load options are Confirm with dispatch.
• Any special constraints (e.g., street dumping, very tight access, unusual hours) are Confirm with dispatch.

Schedule is always treated as a delivery window, not an exact appointment time. Prices and availability are subject to change; your quote is finalized when dispatch confirms.
