Trucking: dump truck info, writing a business plan, bob stephens

Question
I am in the process of writing a business plan for a dump truck company that I would like to start.  The information is not easy to get but it is coming along.  But I was wondering where would I find statistics for dump truck businesses like you can for tractor trailers?  And where do you find jobs for your trucks besides the local companies and do you have to bid on all jobs.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi Miriam.

Let me direct you to another website...

http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/Forum/

You can post questions there and get a lot of help.  You don't have to bid on all jobs.  You can lease out to a larger company, haul for John Q Public, or use a broker.  Post all your questions on the site above.

Hope it helps!
