    I live in Las Vegas (Enterprise) and am trying to get back into hauling dirt. I'm on the road right now, but will be putting a cab kit on my truck for belly dumps soon. I found a couple of brokers, but still have some questions. If you don't mind, how can I contact you?

    I'd go the side dump route. More versatile in material..and they don't get stuck as easy or much. You can buy anything from 2 axles to 7 axles. Which means hauling more then double bellies can. On one trailer.

    But that's me.

    I would but I don't have the 10K I was quoted for a wet kit. Years ago I pulled end dumps, but side dumps look like a better option.

    I was $7200 installed and that was with hoses and the hydro tank painted to match the fuel tanks,

    guess that was also 3 years ago now
