I like #21 & #30

 

Hmm, it is too bad it doesn't have more uses. Number 37, base for horse stalls.

 

if you have one of them small light weight end dumps. and a daycab truck. $103 is doable.

the ones i used to drive could haul 24 tons. X $103 = $2472. 78,000 pounds for bridge.

can't see that being very doable with a sleeper truck and one of them tall heavy end dumps though.

 

Always looked good till you got to the fine print or the settling up then it would be something like a "long ton" your actually getting paid freight on.

 

In Wisconsin, we have almost pure white limestone, and when I was a rock hauler, I talked to some guys that were hauling it to places (far away) where yellow or gray limestone is more popular. So it's entirely possible.

 

Its doable with sleeper truck my light weight is 34,000 w900 550 cat ravens dump. 22.5 x103=2317.50 ill use about ill use about 700 in fuel. Im a company driver and i can usually make my boss 5500 to 6000 a week before fuel with hauling some rates lower than that. The one week i hauled 5 loads that paid 80-100 a ton nice pay check that was

 

I can average 23.75 ton with a half a tank in the 40footer i'm dragging.. it's way dooable... i was pretty amazed at the rates end dumps get when i started. Makes me want to buy a trailer and get my DOT# out of the moth balls

 

I have pulled Lime in a hopper out of Midwest Lime in Batesville to a Maybelline make-up plant in Georgia. 103 a ton would be do-able I think
