Phoenix AZ. Info on Dirt/Garbage Companies

The thread title is a bit misleading as I thought the OP was looking to stay away from bad companies, but after seeing the post I realized otherwise. Mr. Bults Inc. (MBI) also has operations in the Phoenix area hauling trash to/from the transfer stations and landfills in the area. There is also Bedrock Stone and Pioneer Sand and Gravel.

MBI is all trailer work (walking floor and tipper). Heritage and Otto run super 16's and belly, end, and transfer dumps. Bedrock Stone and Pioneer run transfer and end dumps.

 

Had a buddy that worked for Heritage ... pay topps out for a driver at 16 an hour. Trucks are goverened at 57mph, and you have to travel to where their contracts are at the time. He quit after spending 6+ months hopping around New Mexico paying for a hotel room (yep, you get to pay for hotels ... at a "discounted" rate of course).

I would only use Heritage or Otto as a starter company when you get out here, then try to find something else when you are settled. There isnt much building going on out here that requires earth work ... lots of dirt haulers are doing other things

 

i have a question,igrew up in gilbert years ago this pioneer, is this or was this pioneer land scapeing,and is now sand an gravel,if so i worked for them over 25 years ago,the used to have sweet kws and all they had was transfers and endumps,,,just wondering ,it brings back memorys

 

I'll verify the travel part. I had applied at Heritage last year when my dad was sick and thought about moving back to Phoenix. All they had available at that time was belly dump work up in Utah.

 

I've seen Pioneer transfers running around ......... they do have nice equipment!

 

Yes they are. Actually they go by Pioneer Sand Company now. Last I remember, they were running white kw's with black dump bodies/trailers with gold colored lettering. They are pretty big with locations all over the Valley as well as Tucson and Casa Grande.

 

holy crap!!!! when i was with them 25 years ago they had the the kw's the transfers were the black and gold ,i use to make the run to flagstaff for lava rock for them and deliveries around town,,,they had two locations one in gilbert and one off from cavecreek road and unon hills,lol i drove all day running 10 wheel dumps for a small company called woody and sons,and worked for pioneer in the evenings running stock loads till 10-11 pm and ran the flagstaff runs on the weekends,,,,,back then they only had 2 end dumps, and 6 transfers,,just gos to show, money makes money and ,#### have they grown!!!! glad to see someone made it thru the hard times
