Dump Trucks 101 - Green but getting started

Very possible

 

Thanks. I don't do asphalt, so I didn't think of that. Never noticed it before, but strangely enough, I saw one near Memphis today.

 

If hauling sand and gravel or rock a lot get a dump bed with a hard liner in it.It will last much longer.

 

2008 KW,485 hp Cummins ,DPF,no def.
Dual dump controls to pull a pup.
You can haul a wide variety of materials with a truck like this.

 

That’s a great looking truck. Don’t think I’ve seen any around my area with that style bed.

 

I’d suggest going to work for a company for a while to learn the business before you sink a lot money into it.

if you wanted to own a pizza restaurant, wood you think working at one for a few months to learn the business , would be a good idea ?


the insulated beds are for asphalt , to keep it hot on the way to the delivery .

 

We bought it from the KW dealer in Fairbanks,they call it a Classic bed,with a liftgate.Its a 2008,but we bought it as new in 2010.MSRP was $212,000,we bought it for $150,000.

 

It has that DPF on it nobody wanted,.Never had a problem with it just don't idle it very long.

 

I don’t disagree, wish I would have about 10 years ago. I’ve got a regular job with a brother in law that can drive the truck to start. Hoping to get going and fill in on nights/weekends or whenever necessary until I could get a second truck and go full time.

The insulated bed makes sense but I know I’ve seen guys running asphalt with a solid side steel bed.
