    As an owner op, or even just a driver. What pays more? Dump truck or Long haul?

    Honestly depends on the price of rice in China, ask @Chinatown . So many variables it would be almost impossible to answer.

    You probably will make more money by putting your CDL in the nightstand drawer...putting on a G String and dancing for your paycheck...not to mention get more lovin from the ladies.

    I don't think anyone can give you an answer. There's just too many variables in this business.

    Lumpers and prostitutes make the most money in the trucking industry

    I'd say a lot depends on your local economy and time of year. Dump truck o-op's can make good money certain times of year in certain markets with good connections.

    But the same can be said for most any type of hauling. It's a matter of finding what works for the given market and driver ambitions.
