Topic 7386 | Page 1
I would really like to get on with a good local dump truck company for a year or 2 and I'm kind of struggling finding some on the Internet, maybe some of you have some experience or have any info thanks for the input.
Young'uns....
There is this thing called the Yellow Pages.... Try looking there... Road construction companies or sand and gravel companies.
Yellow pages? What would that be? Is that one of those ancient books that only had phone numbers and addresses in it? Hahahaha just teasing
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
I have never heard of such things, only know of Google haha
No I do not but the way I made a list of them here for people to use was while I was at the rock quarries and sand pits and asphalt and concrete plants I wrote down the names of every truck i saw . Lost the list . any way go to these types of places and you will find a lot of end dumps and dump trucks . also any construction projects . People with end dumps sometimes also have dump trucks .
If you want to find rock quarries and sand pits you can look in the phone book under aggregates. Look up concrete and asphalt . Or just drive around and look . They are easy to spot except for them rock quarries . they may be too far off road and behind hills . Martin marietta usually owns them for the most part.

Virginia is a big state. Plus, if you're near one of the bordering states, there may be opportunities there. Your bio says you're in CDL school, no luck talking to them? Check with landscape companies to see who they get to deliver their dirt, rocks and other "dump truck stuff." Also maybe check with home builders and pool companies. Yep, when they dig holes for pools sometimes they have to get rid of the dirt, sometimes they just spread it around.
