How much does a good used dump truck?

around this area i would say about $50,000-60,000.it's hard 2 find a good used dump truck,unless you know somebody or no who had the truck and how they took care of it.if you can afford it and got the work it's best to buy a new truck.

how much, companies pay for dump truck owner-contractor ?

it depend on what company you will be working for. and how u talk up on the money.

Can you give me a contact person for who you work for, maybe I can get on with them.

Do you want to work as employee / contractor
or you have a company who hire employee / contractor?

Could you give me an example of how much companies pay t contractor. thanks.

Can you please give me ideas on what kind of stuff someone can haul in a dump truck. I'm looking to diversify what we do, and i need ideas. Thanks!

I'm wanting to start a dump truck service and I'd like to specialize in asphalt work. Any suggestions on getting into the business?

As long as you can maintain it, engine repairs alone can run up several thousand? That's used truck salesmen do so well, they eventually get free repairs to their trucks after they have been repossesed once or twice?

Sell it as soon as you can if you can't afford those kind of repairs?

My husband wants to buy a dump truck and deliver gravel locally. We have the money saved up to buy a 1987 Peterbilt. The owner of the Pete is an aquaintence and he said he will give us all of his business contacts in the deal. I trust him when he says the rig is worth the $35K he wants for it, it is well maintained and in excellent condition. My hubby has never done this sort of work but is a diesel mechanic by trade. I own a very sucessful business so I can handle the 'business' side of it. I am worried that this might be a bad decision on his part. He has a very secure job now, but HATES it. Is this a lucrative place for him to be? He is not so young any more and the Mechanic side of it is KILLING him. Any advice? suggestions? Thanks Patty

it is worth it he should make 35k back in a few months.plus he can work on his own truck a big bonus,and he don't have to hunt down work cause the person is giving him all his contract work.he can't lose!!!

I live in Florence SC and at the present time work is off real bad. I bought a 2000 Peterbilt tri-axle dump truck last year and did ok for myself. I work through a local broker that also has their own company trucks to run and right now thats where most of the work is going. Does anyone know of any steady work out there? I've heard that there's work in Charleston. Is this true? And who do I need to contact? Or possibly even Greenville, Spartanburg, Myrtle Beach, or Columbia? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can also be contacted at rcarnell@sc.rr.com.

I'm not sure about Charlotte but here in Florence SC it's real slow.

I have been in the business a while and have 5 trucks. The current condition of dump hauling is slow. The feds havwe withheld states funding on many road projects (election time). We too haul gravel stone and blacktop and you need to under stand dump trucking is all related. If any thing slows that is hauled by dumps the others will follow because Owner operators will under cut what you are hauling just to make their payments. My advise is to keep your costs low so you can be competitive. As for a older truck most times you end up spending more money in the long run. Repairs eat you up not only in cost of repair but down time loss revenue. Buy a truck about 7 to 10 years old in good condition that is your best deal. I know of several good trucks in my area $45k to $60k drop me an e if I can help pacelap@verizon.net

We own 2 dump trucks here in AZ and work has been real slow and gone to nothing lately. We need to relocate to anywhere in the U.S. to work. Any ideas? anybody?

I live in South Carolina and work is real slow here too. I guess it's slow everywhere. I've been willing to relocate too. Good Luck.
