I plan on trying to buy the trailer, its a mac dump trailer 40' triaxle. A dump is so heavy you lose weight that you can scale but at the same time has lots of benefits for local work as well. can haul a 30 ton pay load. Leasing the truck sounds like a good idea but I don't want to have to worry about paying out what a used truck is worth to fix some damage that may come from hauling scrap. Just the other day I was loading a trailer and a piece of steel swung around and hit another one inside the trailer then flew out and hit the guys truck. Accidents happen and get costly especially if the truck isn't yours.
