Crazy how far we have come !!!

Honesty is the best policy.

Tags for my truck are 2800 annually here in Michigan w a 54k elective weight. 600 bucks is a deal,!!

Going into dept for my backhoe, Dump truck, Trailer, Crane.... loans was the best thing I’ve ever done. Not everyone has cash. Id rather fianace equipment to get the equipment so the equipment can start making me money and build credit and I keep my cash as working capital for Back up. There’s lots of work out. Squeaky wheel gets the grease

The flushed toy in the toilet brought me to your channel and I'm glad it did. Your channel is fantastic !

Hey Brian prior to starting your own business did you work for anyone else as a driver or company driver my father is an Owner operator but he drives an 18 wheeler I really want to get into the dump truck business here in Texas it’s booming and I’m working to save a good chunk to buy a decent truck and have enough saved to keep me going and for maintanance, Paper work etc, thanks for your informative videos man! You’re awesome

You sir, are an inspiration

Dam!!!! Here in Ohio we,re running 6 axle Petes and KWs 13 speeds C-15and C-14 Cat motors with 21 ft aluminum beds and lightweight around 24-25thousand and allowed 74 thousand gross and tags and insurance is less than $1500 per year each truck.

Great advice.

Tags are cheap there. I run a mobile home toter, gross plates 54k $350/ every 3 months, im too broke to afford the 12 month, which saves you a while $50. Good ole Michigan, one good pot hole and rip the front end off yer truck.

Tare weight is 24,700

$8,000 for a dump truck? Does it say 'Tonka' by any chance?

I wouldn't bother with DOT numbers unless you are crossing state lines. If you are not in "interstate commerce" you only have to deal with whatever state requirements you have. Crossing state lines requires 'apportioned" plates, IFTA over 26,000 gross, Uniform Carrier Act fees, drug tests etc. I wonder if an $8000 truck is a good idea unless you can do the repairs yourself. Sounds like parts will quickly turn it into an expensive truck even if you don't have labor costs.

I have buddies in the excavation business like I am here in MA. And they say their trucks (10 wheelers with 54k over weight permit) costs them 10k every year before they even turn on the key. That's registration, insurance, over weight permits, dot number and registration, IFTA. This doesn't seem right. Any one have any idea what that's all about? Looking to get a 10 wheeler to grow the business but am trying todo my re search before I get in over my head and go bank rupt with the thing.

I’m interested in starting a dump truck business from the ground up, I have the cash I just don’t have the guidance. Can you message me on how to get started?

I was looking into the dot number with the Operating Atority it's free in pa the Mc number is the 300 bucks??

I think you need to get the weight checked, 16,000 is light, probably weighs at least 20 especially with the drop axle.

Looked at a lot of trucks and majority are Air ride what do you think of them? Have older truck thats all leaf spring.

Hey every says to buy a tri dump . What is it I can't make money on a double.axle?

Cool

Hi brother 👍👍🚛🚛🚛

I’ve been having trouble getting past the DOT Fmcsa address portion on my application any help?

so if I was to start and intrastate trucking company never leaving my home state would I need dot numbers? what about getting my own authority? I mean its a dump trucks its probably either going to haul aggregates or dirt

How much is the Insurance?

Are you running apportioned plates with the IFTA sticker?

Why haven't you weighed the truck on a certified scale ?

Does dot number require insurance?

Brian, what is your target date for road-worthiness?
