| Most of them are company trucks or O/O's working for the quarry or material supplier. Sometimes if the construction co's fleet isn't enough to get the job done, they'll contact the quarry or even a contract carrier for more loads.

| Go talk to those drivers you "see" hauling dirt. They won't bite you. Catch them when they're fueling or waiting to load or unload. |

| In Ca single belly dumps can be 3 axles , double belly dumps 2 axle they have to meet Caltrans Length - king pin / rearaxle length Reg's which you can find on the Caltrans web. I am also looking at this area, seems its very slow in LA area, though SF area looks busy, maybe SD is worth looking into. By the way I have come across a End dump training course in WA which I will be attending soon. |
