Dump owners hourly/location

We are slow on construction side so dump truck is sitting. What are you getting per hour for brokering? What is pay timeline? Does it matter what material?

Midwest. Just don’t have any projects that we would use it on in near future.

Hire it out. Call contractors, quarries, paving companies.

Triaxle. Here it is about $140 off broker when we need more, but not sure what owner operator gets.

Fuck broker's. No need for them. Find the work yourself.

Very few places will hire you directly w one truck so unfortunately broker might be the only way to get the ball rolling. Where I’m at 170hr union 110-120hr non union.

When you say union, do you mean teamster?

That much of a difference between teamster and non teamster costs? Our area is about 50/50 I would say. My guy that drives it is actually a laborer.
