Small Dump Truck Service

The couple of guy's that I know seem to do well.
Sit a lot when the ground turn's white.
Top soil, Road base and sand to cement plants.
Got retired LTL drivers trading days it works .
Keeping the dam things running and tires take a real beating.
Could always sell them and have one less headache....
Landscape and weekend contractors would have a use for the small loads.

 

Local company keeps 2 single axles running every day along with their tri axles and concrete trucks.


Not everyone wants or needs 20 tons of material, or has the area needed to get a tri axle truck in to, at least not in my hilly area.

In my area gravel is ridiculously high in my opinion. There’s 2 different loads of gravel at my place now, the load in the background is 57 limestone, 8 tons was $419.32 delivered. Crusher run is $51 ton. And concrete is $211 yard. All trucks have a minimum $40 delivery fee on top of that.

I have 3 friends that own a fleet of tri axles, they are thriving quite well right now in my area. My friend Thomas will have his new Pete dumptruck at MATS this year at the request of the dump bed manufacturer…

We had 3 single axles for hauling our own products, and I know the 1 local quarry had actually called to see if we would be willing to take small loads for them. Said there triaxle drivers get peeved at hauling small loads. Might be an option? Ours were all 26 or 33k GVWR.

 

If you decide to use the smaller trucks look into getting a "spreader gate" on one of them. A lot of times homeowners are doing a pad or a driveway and if your truck can spread...and your driver knows how to spread...you'll really make points.

 

Well, see? You already know everything about it. I'll withhold my counsel.

 

With the dump trucks your not selling trucking services but your selling sandy lome and gravel to home owners.

 

Yes. I know a few guys that watch for deals on aggregate. They’ll stockpile it in their yard and sell it to the town guys for a mint.
