End Dump Hauling! Stories, Advice, and Owner Operating!

Don't raise your body until your level, try to dump on hard ground, don't ever put it in reverse and try to rush the product, in the winter, always put something on the floor to keep what you're hauling from sticking to the floor, just a few thoughts. The number 1 reason for trailers going over, IMO, is drivers rushing to dump, take your time and know your load(how it's loaded, what it is, is it frozen, etc)and with a little luck you'll keep the shiny side up and not on it's side.

 

I'd like to know your story. Do you lease on to a company or do you run your own authority? Do you have contracts or freight brokers? Who should i contact for work , landfills, rock quarries, etc..?

 

There is nothing level, or solid about dumping in a landfill, it’s a whole different ball game. But there no money in the local rat race (which sucks to do anyways)

 

I always dump my leftovers in our yard instead of going to the concrete recycle place just to keep you guys making money. Lol

45 minutes drive... or dump it on the ground at the plant.

 

I'am looking into buying a three axle dump truck in the Dallas ftworth area. Is there any advice you could share of how I cat get my truck hired hauling wet concrete. I met someone who is not willing to share the logistic brokers brokers who he hauling wet concrete. I would appreciate any help you can share.

 

I’m looking into hauling coal. 28-30 tons at a time. Will 40k rears on my tractor be okay for this weight?
I’m brand new to the trucking game. Just happened to have a friend at the coal mine that can get me a contract.
Thanks

 

What state? Overall weight yes I run 32 ton on a set of 404s, but I know states like NY do sometimes penalize your outer bridge for the 40 vs 46
