Your info about the weight is just what I need.

ON EDIT: I'm not getting the four/five loads. My corrected numbers (in the Edited O.P.) are: 8' x 22' 3' = 528 cu.ft of the container and the 700 sq.ft x .34ft = 238 cu.ft, so wouldn't this be about half the container/one load? Or given the bulk of the chunks, two loads?

The container comes from the City, so their transporting is within whatever the regs are. I don't do the bobcat. I'm trying to choose among three crews and their proposals, trying to keep my being scammed to a minimum.
