Finally someone make a very detail video about this type of truck for new driver/ owner operators. Thank you so much for that info.

Our pleasure! Let us know if you have any questions and we'll do our best to answer them. 👍

[@tragget]

Great guide on the technical aspects of choosing the right dump truck! 👍 For those considering or already running an owner-operated dump truck business, remember that the vehicle is just one part of the equation. Managing your operations professionally, keeping track of jobs, and ensuring timely payments are equally crucial. Consider exploring tools or software that streamline these processes. It's not just about the drive, but how you manage the drive that counts. #OwnerOperated #DumpTruckBusiness

I've been looking at used single axle dump trucks. Like a F750. Don't know how hard it would be to find work for it tho. I know it would be a lot easier with a tri axle.

[@buyingbiggerbetteracademy]

F750s would be a good way to keep fuel costs down and remain maneuverable if you're looking to get some lighter work. There are several listed on our site here: www.mylittlesalesman.com/ford-f-750-dump-trucks-for-sale-i2c58f19m380835 However, as you mentioned, those will probably be lighter jobs-and fewer of them. If you change your mind, you can always go bigger!! 😎www.mylittlesalesman.com/dump-trucks-for-sale-i2c58f0m0?gvwrcat=heavy-duty

[@JEeYOoH]

What do you think about purchasing a medium heavy dump, like a Mack MD

[@buyingbiggerbetteracademy]

In general, many dump truck owners and operators love their medium-grade dump trucks because they supply enough power and body capacity while remaining more efficient and agile than heavier-grade trucks. A common issue with newer buyers is that think they should always buy more than they'll ever need. In actuality, they find themselves with too much truck a lot of the time. This can be a real issue regarding fuel efficiency, weight restrictions, and maneuverability.

[@dayrongarcia7804]

What are the best soil dump truck in the 2000-2010 decade ??

[@buyingbiggerbetteracademy]

That depends on a few other factors. What size loads are you looking to haul? What is your budget? Where are you operating? Here are a few ideas to get you started: - International Workstar 7300 - Ford F-750 with a dump body - Freightliner M2 106 with dump body - Peterbilt 335 You have a lot of options but we're here to help! www.mylittlesalesman.com/dump-trucks-for-sale-i2c58f0m0 👍👍

[@sawmill123456]

Little low on the new price 🤣🤣🤣🙀

[@drewmurphy2796]

Seems like the whole video is a guy who doesn’t have experience in dump trucking Is making a video.

[@r0ckworthy]

@@drewmurphy2796 He's also identifying himself as a "Salesman", so that's strike #1.

[@buyingbiggerbetteracademy]

Most of the price figures we pull may be subject to average ranges found in our marketplace listings. These, of course, can vary wildly by market conditions, location, truck condition, size, and a variety of other factors. But thanks for bringing it to the attention of viewers that nailing down pricing can be a moving target-even for online marketplaces! 😅

[@buyingbiggerbetteracademy]

@@r0ckworthy 😆 We're definitely not salesmen. The origin of the name "My Little Salesman" as a company name goes back to 1958 - when we went on the market in the Pacific Northwest as print publication for listing heavy equipment. Dealerships and private sellers would call the publication "my little salesman" in reference the pocket-sized catalog's ability to help them market and sell heavy equipment.
