Just curious have you asked anyone why they won't work for that rate ?also if you're talking about supply and demand in your area then the construction work apparently is under contract because it is now summer I would think that you would be paying more because everyone is on a timeline? Just curious

Jason W., We run 3 quinn axle dump trucks in Northwest Ohio which is somewhat close to where you are in Sylvania, maybe we even haul for some of the same customers but to go down to Columbus and work nights hauling asphalt and putting up with the state inspectors, traffic and paying for a place to stay is not worth the $85.00/hr. We haul right in our back yard for better rates than that and we are home every night and don't work nights. We did a local state job at night a while back and me or my trucks will never do it again, especially in Columbus. I know the state pays a premium for doing night work but it never gets passed on to the trucking companies. I am not trying to be disrespectfull at all but you and I both know those rates are weak for that kind of work and situation. I would respectfully say that is why you are'nt getting anyone to do it.
