There is nearly always work with a end dump. The only thing is that most of it is local and maybe regional work. End dumps stay fairly busy around here hauling rock,shale,ag lime, and some grain.
We did have a bad deal a few weeks back when a local end dump guy was dumping material for the 412 highway overlay, and his trailer got into the high lines and killed him.
Now this thread will die too! I seem to have the kiss of death to threads lately,
maybe everyone is just done with that subject by the time I make it to it,
As for rates, they seem to be fairly close to area hopper rates. I mostly run in a 200 mile radius of home, and make anywhere from $400 gross on a slow or very short day to $950 a day gross on a good rate/long day. Avg is about 575 to 650 a day, before fuel, and I sleep in my own bed. When my girls get a little older I may do more 3 and 4 day runs just to get away but for now this is good for me.
