In the 70s I had a dump truck I got paid by weight with a minimum and anything over 3 miles I got paid by the mile on top of the weight,I averaged over 500 dollars a day in the 70s my expenses were roughly 60 dollars a day including fuel that was .36 cents a gallon back then I know guys today that don't make that and my truck insurance back then was 500 dollars a year. Trucking is sure Fd up today thank you government deregulation .you could FUp anything you touch
Yep.. in 88, it was 50c a gallon, today almost 5,00 and they still paying almost the same today, as it was in 88. It's no fairness in trucking, no matter if is a class 6, 7, or 8.. we all get financially troubled because of the greedy of brokers, quarries and freight companies... still a good business, but the companies. Brokers and load board, they do steal from OOs.
Very interesting im glad i could find things i would need to know as far as a owner operator. Now i know it takes time to get things start and going in the right direction. At the moment i need to get my CDL back but in the meantime leaening how the business works is very important
Jay thanks for these videos. I have not purchased my truck yet still shopping around for a used truck. But i have 4 trucking companies in my network now willing to give me loads once i get my truck. I park my a busy road and take truck names down or look at help wanted ads and call them.
Yes there is a rule of thumb similar to tractor trailers. You can go to your states department of transportation website and find the weight limits. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your insight , Q; if just planning on starting in the dump truck business, what's the best truck to start with. Meaning brand , engine etc
Most the time companies that pay the workers or employee by the hour they dont want anybody to know how much that truck is making from the customer. It is none of their business. They don't necessarily want anybody above them or below them in the food chain to know or calculate what their end of the deal is, as in OTR longhaul drivers getting cpm/ not percentage of the load to work.
Ive never heard of a dump truck getting paid by the load unless they are just doing a single run job maybe it's just where I'm from 99% of jobs around here are by the hour unless ur running a end dump or larger truck then they will run tonnage
Great information I have a semi dry van and park in a yard with dumpster trucks and dumpster trailers and these guys dint want to talk about what they do ./ now I have a better understanding
Best way is having multiple avenues, I would start with a broker to stay busy. Once you start to build on your expertise, start looking for your own work.
Moving away from paper tickets, and manual dispatching, you can do pretty cool and efficient stuff. Of course, we have seen the challenge of changing people's mind about the traditional paper ticket @@ksw501
Looking to possibly get into the business was just wondering would u know the average rate in Massachusetts and what u would recommend For work during the winter when’s it’s snowing out or snow on the ground
Unfortunately I don’t know anyone in MA, but I would check with the city, county, or municipal authority they may be able to utilize your truck for clearing snow.
It depends on your states regulations you can find that info on the department of transportation website. In the greater Houston area there is no log required for dump truck drivers.
A lot of the time, if you're under a certain distance radius (usually 150mi as-the-crow-flies from your starting point) you're not required to keep a log. I used to drive a flatbed hauling lumber and stayed within the city's metro area, only needed a log if I went way outside the area.
There should be an industry standard that goes to the ruck owner regardless if dump truck or semi. National fuel price avg per mile round trip from pick up location to delivery and back, with del min of $150 and min mileage rate of $2.50 per mile. Mandatory $100hr detention after 30 min of arrival with mandatory clean out fee for asphalt per day. If O/O’s and truck companies refused to budge on these terms then making enough to cover fuel cost and combat inflation would never be an issue to keep the doors open “if” you can keep the truck under a load. Honestly $5 a mile would be great right now for me and my truck, but too many will undercut the rate just to make their truck and insurance payment tainting the market.
You have to have some knowledge on the going rates and the market you are going to serve, this will help you determine what is a fair and also profitable rate to charge.
If anyone knows.. Average rate per ton/load/ hour for an end dump trailer in San Antonio. Or in Texas (Ballpark?) I'm new to the area. Appreciate the info. Thank you in advance!
Hello sir! Do you know how many tons your end dump can haul? Rates per ton or by the load vary on the distance you travel and material you are going to haul.

Awesome video bro. Great information !

Regarding payment agreement do you have a document you can share?
How can I find out what the max load the truck can take? Is there a rule of thumb per axles like in regular tractor trucks?
Yes there is a rule of thumb similar to tractor trailers. You can go to your states department of transportation website and find the weight limits.

Are those actual rates in Texas ?
Most the time companies that pay the workers or employee by the hour they dont want anybody to know how much that truck is making from the customer. It is none of their business. They don't necessarily want anybody above them or below them in the food chain to know or calculate what their end of the deal is, as in OTR longhaul drivers getting cpm/ not percentage of the load to work.
Thanks for watching!
I interviewed for a small company and they paid 30% of load . He didn’t care if we knew or not great guy .
Ive never heard of a dump truck getting paid by the load unless they are just doing a single run job maybe it's just where I'm from 99% of jobs around here are by the hour unless ur running a end dump or larger truck then they will run tonnage
Hours calculated by machine hours or hours on the clock?
@@ksw501 hours on the clock if you get with a good contractor they will pay key to key
Great Info Jay .... I just subscribed
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
If I’m in Houston would you be able to broker jobs from where you’re at?
Great information I have a semi dry van and park in a yard with dumpster trucks and dumpster trailers and these guys dint want to talk about what they do ./ now I have a better understanding

I make 89 an hr here in Rhode Island and Massachusetts
Looking to start in MA is this area profitable? How do you find your contracts?
Starting out how much should I purchase a truck for ?
Thank you very much it was real helpful
Glad it helped
Would this also count on holidays orrrr
Is the truck load business good in miami fl?
Would $110 a hr for a triaxle be a fare price
I live in Delaware.. Is the best way to find loads through a Broker? Or would you recommend trying to find work on your own?
Best way is having multiple avenues, I would start with a broker to stay busy. Once you start to build on your expertise, start looking for your own work.
One way is get paid is to make sure tickets are correct, and invoicing done asap
Sounds good. Any tips on good invoicing systems?

Hello Andrew where are you located?

Looking to start business in MA too did you have anymore information on it?
Are dump truck driver's under the same regulations as a box truck? 14 hours on and 10 hours off? Or is it wide open?
It depends on your states regulations you can find that info on the department of transportation website. In the greater Houston area there is no log required for dump truck drivers.

I hear what your saying, this would require for everyone to be on the same page. You already know how that goes!
How soon does the contractor pay the owner operator, whether it’s by the load, ton or hour?
Typically on weekly terms, sometimes biweekly. Thanks for watching!
Good stuff
Excellent. Thank you again, Jay.
Welcome Glenn!
Can you charge $100 for load or it’s too much ?
You have to have some knowledge on the going rates and the market you are going to serve, this will help you determine what is a fair and also profitable rate to charge.
Do I work with a dispatcher running a dump truck? I’m purchase a super dump
