It is possible to start from scratch and buy a dump truck and make it. Timing is everything. I started hauling salt water, fracking water, acid, and etc. in the oil field in 1979. Did real well till 1985. 3 trucks. Price of oil went to single digits. Managed to sell out and quit. Everything was paid for and had money in bank. I never quit my day job! Then in 2003 quit my day job. Had the $ to pay cash. Bought a IHC semi and dump trailer. Ended up with a grain hopper. Also pulled dry bulk tankers. Be flexible, go where the money is for you. Have a neighbor who has a smaller tandem, a backhoe can dump into. He is the first called and the last to leave road jobs. You can't hire a sullen chain smoking green haired, sandal wearing person and expect to work for John Q Public. Equipment doesn't have to be new. Just useable. Insulated bed. Asphalt pays by the hr. around here. Electric tarp. auto trans, air tail gate. A semi has more options, but a tandem might work during the summer to haul Asphalt. Might lease onto a larger outfit. Make it fun, if it's not fun for you, run, do something else. :-) Vic
