Btw....Trucking doesn't pay enough for a dirt hauler op to carry 5 million insurance....
Rates in Cali are still running lower than the '07 highs.....Meaning there's still Bottom-Feeders out there running for $50/H.....
I calculated the monthly gross to cover the expenses along with the premiums....
So let's apply the same to a dump biz op....
There's no way that a single truck can consistently gross $16K a month......
The average work week is three days...At 6 hours per day.....Even at $85/H which is now considered "Greedy"...That's $1530 a week and $6120 a month.....You see where this is going?....
$5 Million Liability Insurance?

This particular project is for Flood Control Remediation....
It's in the middle of Summer....The river is barely flowing at a trickle...And the pilings are stored in a yard...Not anywhere near the project itself..... -

Sidetracking for a moment--
Where is the job WCP? Does the piledriving business seem to be picking up in California? -Specifically northern Cali?
Are they steel sheet pilings? or.... concrete or wood, or plastic? Is it used in the levees? -
Steel....This is from an on going flood control project for the Army Corps of engineers....Anaheim, CA....scottied67 Thanks this.

Is that in regards to registering as a "Designated Biz"?
If so..We tried back when I ran dumps....
We can't....We're not minorities....
One of my contractors back then, was pushing for us to do so...And even though the corporation is 51% owned by my wife...We couldn't even get it as a WBE (Woman Owned Business Enterprise)...
Unless I can make $45,000 gross on this...It won't be worth it.....
So it looks like I'm back to running my lane and do biz as per usual....scottied67 Thanks this. -
If you want to do business with them, yop. As an independent o/o, you would be a disadvantaged business because of size.
If this is a gubermint thing, then you would have to call the gubermint line. 866-705-5711
