LImant I don't know how you can put a truck on the road pay driver, insurance & fuel to only make $25 a ton on C&D! Do you guys have to have a hauling license ? Are you dumping C&D in dumps or transfer stations? If you're running a truck for 8hrs the min fuel burned is $200.00 a day+ $225.00 for driver bennies & insurance + dumping fees! I know nobody likes to be the 1st to raise the rates but if you don't you be out of biz.
Diesel is between $3.89 and $4 now and you're right its hard to keep the existing rates. No one wants to be the first to raise them.
We drop our concrete at a recycler... they charge $6 a yard so we make money with that. C&D gets a little pricey we only make $25 a ton now plus the container drop off/daily.
A company that I worked for charged $125.00 for drop off and pick up and then $2.00-$3.00 a day for the can rental and then I thinks it's around 75.00-85.00 a ton.
For those who charge a set amount for up to "x" amount of tons, do you find many that go over that set amount? Even though you are charging more for those tons?
The reason I am asking is because their is a company that charges a flat rate up to 7 tons, I don't know that may times that I have had a hand loaded can over 7 tons and when it evens out it's just about the same in price that everyone else charges, but people think they are getting a great deal, when they are actually getting a gouged.
