Lets talk about the equipment needed to do the clean up ie Grapple trucks, bucket trucks, walking floors and more then likely large end dumps. I mean we are always looking for this equipment usually goes anywhere from 2 to 4 months. There are still trucks hauling on in Loiusana.

The ground can be unstable and as your wheels move they can and do sink into a hole and the truck rolls over. It's happened just about every time we've allowed them. If you have a 2 stage wet kit I would recommend renting a walking floor. Very few end dumps exceed 80 CY(Cubic Yards) where a lot of walking floors are 120 CY. A full 1/3 larger. The capacity of the walking floor alone will cover the rental. If you have a choice of walking floors when renting dont' get a soft side, mulch only, trailer. They make ones for trash also demo (V bottom floor). The V bottoms are hard to find but the trash ones will do. CY=(length x width x height)/27. All measurements in feet.

Quote: "thanks for all the infotmation, this frameless trailers are good just to bring it to the truck show lol " it's like any other tool it has a purpose. The lack of a frame reduces tare weight allowing for more payload. They just shouldn't be used where your dumping on soft surfaces. i think the coal industry uses them where they're dumping on concrete or hardpack. Occasionally we'll have dumpsites where the debris is being pushed into an incenarator and we'll allow them then.

Posted by a private FlatLoads.com member.	Posted by a private FlatLoads.com member. So I'm still in need of Walking floors and large FRAMED end dumps. At the moment I have 14 different runs. I see a lot of guys talking about per mile numbers. If you're looking at it from that perspective my runs are usually between $4 and $5 per running mile. I based this off a 100 CY walking floor per run. We prefer walking floors we'll use end dumps but no frameless. If someone gets up with me quick I currently need 2 trucks on a 4.5 mile run paying $2.25 per CY. Run the numbers on that one it's $25 per mile.
