r686st Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I haul gravel, sand and dirt. The sand/gravel go to redi-mix plants on a tandem tractor pulling a 3 axle aluminum end dump. I haul all three materials using a tandem dump truck to single customers(noncommercial). Besides that I do tractor, dozer, excavator and backhoe work for hire. I currently own all the equipment mentioned except the 3 axle dump it's a lease and also own a 40ft. float and lowboy. If you were me and wanted to buy what would you get and why??? IE: tractor, tandem dump, triaxle dump, quad dump or larger, steel dump trailer with 2 way door, 3 axle aluminum dump trailerFYI: 6 axle truck/ trailer combo can be up to 88,000 pounds, 5 axle truck/trailer combo can be up to 80,000 pounds, Quad dump can be approx. 76,000 pounds, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
