Get a commercial driver&#8217;s license (CDL), set up your business and spread the word.<br \/>\n <strong>       1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        Prepare for business. Get your CDL, which will enable you to legally operate a dump truck. Check your local ordinances for any additional training or <a href=\"http:\/\/freightbrokerscourse.com\/services\/license-filing-service\/\">licensing requirements<\/a> for operating an independent dump truck business before you can begin to solicit jobs.<br \/>\n        Contact the IRS to obtain a tax ID number for your business and open a business bank account. Have business cards and letterhead printed for your company that you can mail or leave with building contractors, landscape supply managers and homeowners. You will make a more professional impression if you leave your contacts with relevant pricing and contact information, along with a copy of your credentials. Better business impressions translate into more money for your business.<br \/>\n<strong>        2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        Contact landscape suppliers in your area, advising them that you are available to move dirt, mulch and other landscaping materials on a contract basis. Talk to the store managers in person, leaving them a packet with your business card, rate information and certification documents for owning and operating the dump truck.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tanwater.com\/animation\/animated_10_wheeler_dump_truck.gif\" align=\"left\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\"><br \/>\n<strong>        3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        Run an ad in several local papers and in the yellow pages describing the types of work you are available to do with your dump truck. Homeowners who enjoy do-it-yourself landscaping or renovation projects need your services to haul in or remove materials as they excavate or remodel. Advertise on Craigslist and other online sources for free exposure.<br \/>\n   <strong>     4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        Make money with your dump truck by working with local builders as an independent contractor. New construction projects always need the services of a dump truck to move debris to the landfill as well as moving dirt and other landscaping materials. Contact the builders personally by phone or at a job site. Follow up with the same printed materials you left with the landscape supplier.<br \/>\n <strong>       5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        Contact your local city <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/\">transportation services<\/a> to inquire about winter snow removal jobs or other contract positions it may have available. You can also contact other snow removal companies to let them know you&#8217;re available for their overflow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking to make money with a dump truck, building contractors, landscaping companies and homeowners are your target clients.
