    Also another question it may differ obviously from state to state but what would I be looking at insurance wise for my commercial dump truck?

    There might be lots of work there but can you get the work. A lot depends on who you know.

    You can never go wrong going hourly. If you sit cuz some piece of equipment broke at the job site, your still getting paid.

    Just remember that you need to pay attention to how many miles you're running for the hourly rate. If you drive 50 miles for $50.00 then your not making any money. Plus think of the wear and tear on your equipment. So keep those things in mind
     
    AfroLatino90 Thanks this.
