End Dump Owners

where you located? I pull tanks as an o/o but pulled end dumps as a company driver. I will say this as a company driver making percentage and not getting paid for deadhead I never made less than 60k a year and most years I was over 75k. but I will say that I ran hard and heavy and 8-9 hours of sleep in a 5 day work period was normal for me. also the rates in the end dumps from my experience was very cutthroat. if I had ran legal though I would still have been over the 50k a year. I do know guys who hauled coal and did real good but coal has been down thanks to the EPA. it can be very rewarding in end dumps and you can go broke also real quick in that industry. to be honest if was to go back to end dumps I would not with my own authority but would lease on to a company like U.S. Bulk or Page but that's my preference

 

but I would say if your equipment was paid for and in good shape you could clear 6 figures

 

I don't know much about the construction industry. My end dump experience is in hauling scrap alloys coils mill rolls waste environmental waste ect ect

 

You won't do very well in Central Illinois. Rates are terrible because of companies like Beelman and McLeod, they work on thinner margins than an o/o can work on.
