Anyone out there know the average length of the delivery trucks' chutes?

no standard lengths, depends on the delivery guy's setup. Some just have small chutes. I have 2 dealers, one has a 10' conveyor type thing and the other with a 14-16' auger tube.....

Any competent coalman that is really a coalman will have whatever he needs, basically you can only do so much so you'll have enough chute on there to do what the truck can do and various other lengths for different situations.
