Review of Grgurich & Grgurich Trucking

It started like any other job.
I called Grgurich & Grgurich Trucking in Kirksville, Missouri.
A polite young woman named Kenna answered.
I told her I needed 7.4 cubic yards of fill dirt.
She said they didn’t sell by volume, but by the “truckload.”
A small truckload, she explained, meant about seven to eight cubic yards, delivered for $145.
Sounded fair.
We set a day and time.
The owner, Gean, even came by to look at where the dirt should go.
Everyone was friendly.
Everything was simple.
Until it wasn’t.
When I got back from a work trip, It was dark, the dirt had been delivered.
Next Morning In daylight, I could tell something wasn’t right.
So I measured it — seven feet by nine feet at the base, three feet high.
The math doesn’t lie: 2.33 cubic yards of dirt.
Not seven.
Not eight.
About one-third of what I paid for.
I called the office.
I wasn’t angry; I just wanted to clear up a mistake.
At first, they acted as if the phone was breaking up.
Then came the confusion, the missing invoice, and the promise of a call-back that never came.
When I did reach them again, I was told I must have measured wrong —
and if I needed more dirt, well, I could always buy another load.
Eventually, Gean came out in person.
I thought, Good — we can settle this like neighbors.
But before I could explain, he pulled out old invoices — some with addresses I didn’t even recognize —
and talked about credit he once gave my mother for a different delivery years ago.
Then he looked me square in the eye and said,
“I’m not going to do anything about it.”
And that was that.
Two-thirds of a load missing, about a hundred dollars short —
and no intention to make it right.
But he did deliver something that day.
Not a full truck of dirt, but a full measure of truth —
about how he does business.
