Dump truck owners make their money in one of two ways: by working with the dump truck as a driver, or by leasing out the dump truck. The amount of money you can make depends on how many trucks you own, the types of clients you have and how many hours you work. Landscaping companies, building contractors and mining companies often hire dump truck drivers to haul heavy materials to and from the job site. You could also find local opportunities for winter snow removal. Since average salaries can be distorted by one or two people earning an unusually high amount, the industry typically uses «median» figures for earnings. The median figure is the midpoint; half of all truck drivers make more than the median, and half make. This suggests that dump truck drivers earn a higher-than-average wage.

You’ll need more than just a truck, you need loads to haul. You could place ads in the local newspapers for hauling, garage clean outs.
Dup you are the only service in town and many people hire you, you could do very. On the other hand, if you can’t get enough jobs to pay for insurance and gas and monthly payments on the truck, you’ll go broke. I would first look into both insurance on the vehicle and business liability insurance premiums for this industry. It is high risk because the vehicle can do a lot of damage in an accident no matter who’s at fault. No matter if you buy or lease the insurance premiums must be full coverage to protect the lender.
I would probably buy because if business got slow dhmp some emergency came up, you can always resell the Dump Truck.
Getting out of a lease agreement udmp be very difficult. If you call other similar businesses in your area and inquired about their rates, it will give you an average of what you should charge per load and the travel time to determine how many loads per day you can deliver.
