    In the spring and early summer they will use outside o/o's. I pull flatbed for them and did walking floor for a little while but loads going back are scarce, they save them for there trucks.

    I hauled a number of bag loads out of there when I worked for Northern Gas. Stuff always gave me the willeys although a load never moved on me.

    danny is a hard to get a hold of but if u talk to the guys in the scale house in merc over in biddeford me. i know for a fact they have his number remember his company is called pradera. the guy's name in saco is roland i cant remember his last name runs a blue day cab t800 and he mostly does fitchburg ma to orrington me. as for o/o's for KB they're isnt any. the last o/o we had quit after making a deal with united waste in roxbury ma hauling exclusive for them out to southbridge ma or out to turnkey in rochester nh. so i do not advise leasing on to kb we barely have enough for the company driver'd to move

    also danny is a one man company. he runs pretty much the ENTIRE trash/demo industry in new england through his cell phone. it is said he makes $2 a ton on every ton of trash through new england. this man was once a truck driver that worked his way up through the ranks and now pretty much has lunch daily with all the big wigs at casella BFI and waste management but at the same time u would never know it...he his very down to earth and very straight forward and honest it is said that he single handedly started the whole brokerage buisness for trash up here and also invented the MODERN day livefloor trailer. so needless to say he is a powerful man and can either make u or break you so be careful on how you treat him

    Your hearing to many BS storys. I know guys that still do and i myself used to run trash directly for Wm and others and never had to deal with a broker. Allways got paid direct from the trash company.

    waste managment contracts out to o/o's that load out of there own tranfer stations but o/o's that go to they're landfills from different places for example demo jobs and outside owned transfer stations are a different story. for example G.Melo goes through thompson enterprises to haul MSW and demo out of they're tranfer station in georgetown ma going to merc in biddeford or KTI biofuels in lewistion me.

    then you got CJ Mombardy in camebridge mass who goes through pradera to dispose of 90% of there demo and it goes to KTI in lewiston while they also go through vinegro to haul the other 10% of demo down to there own facility down in conn.
