How to Prep Your Construction Site for Winter Hauling

Winter brings cold temps, icy roads, and unpredictable weather, making hauling a bit more challenging. But with the right preparation, your construction, landscaping, or heavy transport projects can keep moving—no matter how cold it gets.

At Midnight Services, we’ve tackled winter hauling across Cedar City, St. George, and surrounding areas, so we know what works. Here’s how you can keep your site ready for smooth and efficient hauling all season long.

Keep the Roads & Drop Zones Clear

Snow, ice, and mud can turn job sites into a mess. If our trucks can’t get in, hauling delays will follow.

✔ What to Do:

Plow and salt access roads to prevent ice buildup.

Clear snow from delivery zones so materials can be dropped safely.

Mark important areas with stakes or flags to guide drivers in low visibility.

Plan for Weather Delays

Winter storms can hit fast, making roads unsafe for hauling. Planning ahead helps prevent project slowdowns.

✔ What to Do:

Schedule deliveries with extra time in case of delays.

Stay flexible—if bad weather hits, have backup plans.

Check road conditions and forecasts daily.

Protect Your Materials from the Cold

Some materials—like gravel, sand, and fill dirt—can freeze or harden in extreme cold, making them harder to work with.

✔ What to Do:

Tarp over materials to keep moisture out.

Store smaller loads indoors when possible.

Use heated enclosures for temperature-sensitive materials.

Make Sure Your Site Has Proper Drainage

Melting snow can create mud pits, flooding, and soft ground, making it tough for heavy trucks to maneuver.

✔ What to Do:

Grade your site to direct water away from haul routes.

Lay down gravel or road base to improve traction.

Keep an eye on melting snow—it can turn solid ground into sludge fast.
