want to own an end dump but how?
Want to own an end dump I know how to buy the equipment and run it but how do you find loads and what does it pay ? I'm guessing it pays ok cause I see some sweet expensive custom trucks going in and out of the quarries around here.

Where are you located? The quarries in my area each have a broker that dispatches the trucks. Working for one of them would be the easiest way to find work. I would suggest talking to all of the quarries in your area BEFORE buying a truck. You need to know if they pay by the ton, by the hour, or by the load so you can buy the correct equipment for the job. Keep in mind winter and the slow season for dump trucking is just around the corner unless you're up north and there is salt to haul.
