    in this area the is a lot of Bobtail dump work and some end dump and belly dump but the big jobs youhave to be leased to a carrier in order to get any loads really sucks but that is life so far I am hold ing my own and have not leased on to any body yet Not going to unless last resort Goes againist my grain to pay them a percentage to haul what I already went throught the crap to get our MC number and all the stuff that goes with having your own authority , paper trail after papertrail and let us not forget the money trail . We are lucky as my wife has a good paying job and thus we are not dependent on the truck to make a living if it was we would already been sunk as 2009 was a freaking night mare .

    your lucky that you have a wife that was willing to go out and work so you can support your trucking habbits:biggrin_2559:

    unless you know someone your usually going to start off getting crap pay in a dump, and dont forget the "cut throats" out there that will come in, knock $10 an hour off your price so they can work.
