where can i find a good place to lease on pulling a tanker or dump? or if i have my own authority, how would i go about finding hauls for a tanker or dump?

 

Where do you live??

 

Southeastern Kentucky.

 

cant help ya there. Maybe haul coal?? I dunno. Im a bucket driver from PA

 

hauling coal is out of the question. i live in the heart of coal country and if you don't have 20+ trucks and some pull then you can't get a haul. and plus the wear and tear on a truck is unbelieveable. do you haul local or OTR?

 

all local out of the quarry. I know what you mean about pull. I had to have alot of pull to get work out of the quarry i haul out of everyday. You cant even lease under anyone to haul coal?

 

Do you have a 10 wheeler or trailer dump? And yeah i maybe could. But changing everything on it to make it a coal hauler would be exspensive. There are a different number of quarries but im not sure if they contract out tractor trailers.

 

I drive a tri/axle dump. Hauling anything from rip-rap to blacktop. I was looking into buy a dump trailer. But unless you got a steady run stocking a black-top plant or something you are kinda limited. With a tri/axle you can still stock and work for contractors and go on job-site etc.

 

have you tried any of the local concrete plants, i know sometimes they have to go a pretty good way to get the right kind of sand to make the correct mix, and also have you looked into hauling milk into souther belle, and also look into lewis transports i know they haul fuel around tennessee, kentucky, and ohio

 

Ditto for the heart of the anthracite region of PA buddy. I work for a pretty big local coal company. There are a few single truck operations that come through, but that is only because the guys who own said trucks grew up with our owner and he's a pretty decent guy. (They tend to haul unfinished coal INTO our facility to be used by us when our mines/strippings can't keep up to demand, which is most of the time..lol) Other than that it's all pretty big operations that haul finished product out of here and take it to the docks in Philly and Baltimore to be loaded on cargo ships headed to the Far East, which is where a major portion of our coal tends to go.
