No personal experience, my thought is most trucks probably cannot handle the weight legally. It does not take much to overload a pick up and it is kind of expensive just to be able to dump. I guess like all things some will feel it is worthwhile some wont. I have hauled alot of gravel, dirt, mulch and just unload by hand. My thought is what I would pay for delivery, $75.00 thats 3-4 loads of product, so the cost of a dumper would be the whole project. If you are thinking of hauling for money, then all the DOT rules kick in and that is a nightmare.
 
Loadhandler is one of the best investments I ever made. I unload sand, sand/salt, mulch, stone dust, firewood and even one ton of pellets on a pallet. Moves anything. Cheaper way out and will last a long time. You can get them in most truck supply places. The link below is for example only.
