Got a line on an upcoming bid contract-
GC wants flat-rate bids per load. The one End-dumper I've talked to says he'd be happy with $50/hr., plus fuel surcharge. Run is 60 miles from load to unload, 60 miles deadhead return. 5 loads a day seems realistic... Works out to $120/load (plus fuel surcharge) to the truck, which seems a little cheap. I'd really like to come in with a competitive bid. This would be steady work for several O/O's.
Does anyone know how to bid end-dumps?
Thanks for your help.
