I'm thinking of doing the dump truck/asphalt thing as an O/O, possibly for Jurgensen. Can I get some general Dump truck info and maybe some info on Jurgensen? Thanks in advance.

You can make money with a dump truck. 1st you need money to survive until you get paid from your billing. Some companies pay fast & others wait until they're paid.
Working many years as an Operations Manager in a large grading & underground utility company we only paid Junes work in July after we ourselves were paid from our submitted draws. Ask about payment & you want no later than 30 days. Find out when they submit their draws if this is how they pay. Most draws are no later than the 20th of the month to be paid within 15 days.
Spend a few bucks with an attorney understanding the laws in your area pertaining to applying a lien for non payment. Don't be afraid or a "friend" when your hand is forced in slapping a lien on a job. Windows are small for this action. Most will ante up just with a threat because they don't want the GC or developer knowing they don't pay their bills.
Last but not least from the hire you'll negotiate "By The Load" or "By The Hour" rate. Make sure you document & get signed at the end of the day by their rep your corresponding paperwork. Give them a copy on the job & fax one with your billing. BILL DAILY.
Also put a disclaimer on your daily load count/hour sheets that that they sign & get a copy, "You are not responsible for damage to curbs or private driveways/roadways." You'll be amazed at the places some will want your truck.
Good luck and get busy!Last edited: Oct 3, 2010

I been driving dumps for about 4 years and just bought my 1st truck about 3 months ago. Just make sure you buy a heavy spec truck. What ever you do dont buy a tractor that was turn into a dump truck. A tractor is not heavy enough.
