    So I have a question. Where are all the lightweight end dumps I see running around other parts of the country? It seems they have disappered from CA,AZ and NV. Is there too many trucks and not enough work?

    What are "lightweight" end dumps compared to regular end dumps?

    Aluminum Dump bodies versus steel bodies....Would be my guess.....

    Most of those are used for hauling materials like grains.....

    But not much good for hauling "Broke" or mixed loads........
