Type of soil needed to build up dirt around foundation

I have no slope around my house and over the years, the moisture had taken its toll on my foundation. I need to put my old beater truck to work, but am unsure what soil to ask for. Thanks!

I would get topsoil if you can find it.

Dirt alone does not protect a foundation... the foundation needs to be waterproofed first.
