Back in college I took a CE cost estimating course. Prof was really good(had actually worked in construction) and he said somewhere between a 100 feet to a hundred yards was the breaking point between a dozen and scraper.
As to scraper vs truck it would depend on several factors. Depth of cut, compaction needed on fill ( scraper will normally pack enough), road conditions, and of course length of haul. Really need to do a cycle time analysis for each job.
Moving dirt with Dozer vs. scraper vs. truck, distances and efficiency?
