10 wheeler or bobtail advice

hey yall, been looking into getting back into trucks for a while now. Ive been running heavy equipment since I was 12 or so, when I was 16 I ran semi bottoms onsite working for my dad in the summers and then moved up to running a dozer which is where ive been for the last 16 years driving off n on. My question is ive been pondering the idea in getting a truck and starting out on my own. Over the years ive made contacts with some of the bigger brokers down here that run 10 wheelers, bellys and end dumps so im trying to get a lock on better long term options.

So far I have been leaning towards a 10 wheel dump w 5th wheel under the box, this way if dump work slowed I could drop the box n pull what ever was needed.

other option I was thinking was to get a bobtail n pull bellys and if that slowed then I could run hay out here or other smaller jobs.


Now I have capital to keep the wheels rolling for around 3 months depending on the truck cost.

What do yall think would be the best long term truck as I get such mixed opinions out here from guys pulling bellys claiming they bring in 20-30k gross a month to others telling me they barley pull in enough to keep rolling.

Thanks

 

Ya 10-4, know him and the burns family as well as chris over at dispatch, they have a a good program goin on to get me into a truck and running pullin doubles. Just not sure if I would benefit better in bottoms or a 10. Thanks for the reply
