I am new to BulkLoads - I am here doing some research and investigating before pulling the trigger on what trailer to grab up. I own a small company out of Stryker, OH hauling primarily dryboxes currently and I am looking to diversify. Is there any specific help that you boys ( and gals ) would suggest while we are making the jump into the market - It currently looks like buying an end dump would be about the best choice I could make as far as diversifying around our area. This whole paying by the Ton thing is a new idea as I am use to the ol RPM straight forward number - not mattering what the weight is. I have hauled Hoppers, Belts, and Dumps in the past - I just haven't ever owned one myself.
Appreciate the help! Boone Irwin |

We run 6 dumps, they are alot more versatile for us vs. a hopper. Yeah they're a little heavier, cost a little more - but we are loaded both ways most of the time - a lot more of the time than if we ran hoppers. I think you're on the right track. All equipment is crazy high priced compared to even a year ago, that's the only downside I see for jumping in at the moment. |
