    I would save up for a truck down payment. Get an LLC. Then from there I go online to search for contracts. Anybody else do this?

    I have a friend in Colorado that accepts O/O's for the work that he does. He has been doing this since 2007 and its always swamped with work. Just a thought.

    Sorry I'm a rookie. What is O/O? I'm assuming you don't mean owner operator.

    Call every construction, asphalt, concrete, paving, demolition, contracting company and quarry in your area and inquire as to whether or not they could use the services of an outside carrier specializing in dump trucks.

    Don’t be afraid to lie to get the information you need lol.

    I’ve called dozens of companies here in Michigan and for my efforts I have 5 carrier packets for 2 aggregate companies and 3 asphalt paving companies.
