Would anyone recommend where I can start by looking anywhere in texas in the dirt business for my transfer dump truck and bottom dump truck
Thanks

I have never seen a transfer type dump truck in Texas, just semi hopper trailers and side dumps. Also end dump trailers.
Santinoshop1984 Thanks this. -
I'm not sure about transfer trucks but I'm pretty sure in Nevada they use bottom dumps.
And if you're open to where you're moving to Arizona may use them also but I'm not sure about the transfer dump..Santinoshop1984 Thanks this. -
I hear Nevada does have alot of work for bottom hoppers I was just leading towards Texas

Transfers are still used here in Nevada. Belly dumps are used on almost every job here. We run double set ups at 129,900 gvw.
baha and Santinoshop1984 Thank this. -
Whats the benefit of a belly dump vs a end dump? There is only one outfit that I've ever seen in my area that has any; and they do something different than about anybody; as their product is uncommon & they haul their own stuff so I expect the equipment has something to do with the unloading facility/ -

Interesting. We don’t have trains out here. Different local states have different allowances on combos depending on axles and sometimes bridge law, depending on which state a truck is in, and sometimes what it is hauling/Santinoshop1984 Thanks this. -
I don’t believe you’ll ever see them in the northeast. But what do I know, I don’t get out muchRuthless Thanks this. -
