      To my knowledge no, the md isn’t built to haul the weight that these trucks are. The frame is lighter and runs lighter axles. Dump trucks need to be pretty robust. They get beat up on the pit roads and job sites. I would stay away from mid duty unless you are thinking like a single axle dump.

    hey man i saw on another comment that you typically charge around $120/hour depending on fuel costs... do you also have an initial fee or like a minimum fee? if i read correctly your clock starts from the pit where youre getting loaded to where you drop off? or is it from the pit > drop off > back to the pit? i was also wondering about how much it costed you to get up and running. other than buying the truck, CDL, insurance, licensing, are there any other permits you need? do you need an MC number as well? thanks!

    • @baremetalfab
      @baremetalfab Рік тому

      Pit to pit. No minimums or fees. Just hourly. We schedule the trucks to run as solid as possible. Startup cost other than the truck is gunna very, but 50k would be a bare minimum of what I would have after buying a truck, insurance is expensive, also you don’t get paid for the work you are doing immediately. My trucks are burning about 1200 dollars and fuel per truck per week. And you can easily haul 3k in materials per day. So you need to have enough working capitol to get you through those times until the checks roll in. I also suggest having spare tires purchased and at least the oil and filters for one oil change readily available. There’s a lot that goes into it haha. Point being it takes a minute to actually make money. But it can be done!!!

    Hey man is your tailgate air lift? Or high lift? I’m just confused on how you operate your rear door like a standard dump truck but I see the airlift mechanism on the side. Reason asking is I own a similar truck and wondering if I can operate mines without the air life like a regular dump truck door. Sorry if this question is confusing.

    • @baremetalfab
      @baremetalfab Рік тому

      Yea it’s a high lift gate that hinges in 2 spots so 99% of the time we only unlatch the locks (air operated) and then it operates like a normal door. If we are hauling debris or want to stack piles closer together then we’ll unlock and hit a different switch for high lift gate. Hope this helps

    • @baremetalfab
      @baremetalfab 2 роки тому

      There is a standard rate, and it fluctuates depending on fuel costs. Where I’m at we’re currently running 120/hour. I determine this by breaking down all my costs and adding markup, but also I know a lot of the other dump truck guys, we all talk and keep competitive pricing with eachother. You can also call your local pits or asphalt companies and ask what they typically pay for a 16 per hour.

      It will vary depending on how the company runs, but trucks like mine currently run about 125/hr, so if you can run them consistently you can make 100+k per year but that’s the key is consistency. Trucks cost a lot when they run, and even more when they don’t!

      The drop axles are typically only used when running down the highway. They help with braking and handling weight by supporting the frame. We don’t run them in the pits because although they are steerable, they don’t turn as sharp. We haul 21-22 tons
