While not essential, a bedding box or “rock box,” will make your life so much easier on jobs where your material pile can’t be right next to your working area. The time and resources saved by having a mobile material box wherever you need it is incalculable. No more waiting for individual scoops from your skid operator, and no more loose piles wasting material and cluttering up the job site. If you want to look like you know what you’re doing, use a bedding box.
