What do dump truck drivers gross during summer season?

It all depends on the company and what you're doing.

I know up here in the northwest and around the mountains a ton of dump trucks companies slap a plow and salt shaker on their asphalt trucks and plow in the winter as a contract. It's hit or miss with hours and what not. Some companies run ice melt. Others switch to hauling rock here and there. Some have layoffs as in you aren't furloughed, you lose all healthcare, benefits, etc for 4+ months then come back in spring.

You'd have to find out in the interviews. You make a killing in the summertime if it's a union job or in an OT state like WA or Cali but the cost of living doesn't mean you'll be rich. Most dump truck guys I've know and generally all the construction workers when I've done those construction jobs are the same old story. Living in a trailer worried about keeping the lights on and drinking like a fish while they have dumped 30k dollars into bolt on #### for their 1990s pickup truck.

Also, up here most dump trucks are pulling a pintle pole pup trailer so you need a class A anyways. I've known of a few guys who own their own truck and run a dump trailer in the summer running rock, aggregate, and asphalt for paving and then haul logs in the winter. Assuming you have the nerve to log up in the Rockies in the winter.
