RGN's

Thinking seriously of changing my trucking venue. Looking at moving to hauling equipment with an RGN. I am not exactly a newbie to equipment, have grown up around it, operated most everything out there with a few exceptions. I am not interested in the huge oversize loads but more along the lines of dozers, graders, trackhoes...etc etc. Don't intend to do any interstate at the moment, just intrastate. I have some connections with a couple of local heavy equipment companies that have expressed interest in using me if I do. I have two other trucks, (bobtail dumps) so the venue change would be that big of an economic (income side) risk per say. My first question to those in the know is what length of well would be best? I see wells of many different lengths. I was leaning towards a 50 ton dgn just to cover most of the stuff around here. I know about obtaining permits, bridge weights and all that technical jazz. Just looking for some advice on the trailer. I respect experienced haulers and their advice. Unlike many who act it....I don't know everything!! (Close tho!!!) I am also curious what rates do you try to run under. In the bobtail scene, we try to run about $2.00 to $2.50 a running mile. Don't always get it, but that is our target range. So there are my questions and I am open to all advice and suggestions, well.....for the most part! Everyone be safe, and have a wonderful holiday season!

P.S. I do have a tractor that I have been pulling and end dump with, so I have half the equation.

 

Thank you both. I kinda figured that at least $4.00 a mile was about right. That is about the size of trailers I have been looking at. Thanks again. Keep it coming tho!
