Dump truck

A lot of those "construction companies" don't pay, that's why they're always looking for people to haul their dirt.

 

It depends what area of the country that you are in. Some areas do much better with dump trucks than others.

And then there's the issue of actually finding a truck that's in good enough shape to use. They take a tremendous beating because all of the weight is on the truck itself.

And finding good drivers is easier said than done.

But in the right part of the country you can do well with dump trucks.

 

About 1/3 of my trucking was dump truck ( tri-axle and trailer), it's a cut throat business, or at least it was. Not sure about Texas, but in the Badger, most of the work was by bid, and how odd the same guys got the contract year after year. Repairs will kill ya, because, half the time, you are hauling max ( or more) weight over the toughest terrain, and the only truck that can handle that, I've found, is a Mack.There's better trucking to go into, flatbed seems wide open, and pneumatic tanker is pretty specialized. Unless you know someone in the gravel/paving biz, you'll get the craX loads no one else wants.

 

What is a good price for used dump truck?
