It is possible to start from scratch and buy a dump truck and make it. Timing is everything. I started hauling salt water, fracking water, acid, and etc. in the oil field in 1979. Did real well till 1985. 3 trucks. Price of oil went to single digits. Managed to sell out and quit. Everything was paid for and had money in bank. I never quit my day job! Then in 2003 quit my day job. Had the $ to pay cash. Bought a IHC semi and dump trailer. Ended up with a grain hopper. Also pulled dry bulk tankers. Be flexible, go where the money is for you. Have a neighbor who has a smaller tandem, a backhoe can dump into. He is the first called and the last to leave road jobs. You can't hire a sullen chain smoking green haired, sandal wearing person and expect to work for John Q Public. Equipment doesn't have to be new. Just useable. Insulated bed. Asphalt pays by the hr. around here. Electric tarp. auto trans, air tail gate. A semi has more options, but a tandem might work during the summer to haul Asphalt. Might lease onto a larger outfit. Make it fun, if it's not fun for you, run, do something else. :-) Vic

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
