You were charged a premium due to it not being a full load. All companies have what those in the business refer to as a minimum load charge and that is what got you. The price per yard of $115/yd or whatever has the trucking cost baked into the price assuming a full 9 yd load on the truck. If they only deliver a yard, then the full trucking cost is absorbed by your one yard. They still charge you the $115 for the yard of CC, but then they tack on the minimum load charge on top and your CC gets real expensive quick.
