Dump trucks with operators, by the hour

Who this is for

Excavation contractors on a job that outruns their own trucks. Landscapers with a week of material moving and no CDL on staff. Property managers with a lot to regrade. Builders who need spoils gone this morning and base course here this afternoon. If you are searching for "dump truck rental Anchorage" what you usually want is this: the truck and the driver, billed by the hour, not a bare rental you have to find a licensed operator for.

What you get

• Dual axle International dump trucks with 12-yard beds rated for 12 tons, maintained in our own yard on Gambell Street.
• Operators who know every pit and disposal site in the Anchorage Bowl and the Valley, which is the difference between four cycles an hour and three.
• A ticket on every load: material, source, weight or yards, time. It is how you bill your client and how you audit us.
• Certificate of insurance on request, and our USDOT number, 4396488, is on the door and on the federal record.
• Dispatch that answers the phone during the day and returns the call after hours.

How hourly work is priced

Hourly hauling in Anchorage is quoted per truck-hour with a minimum, portal to portal or site to site depending on the yard. The going published rate for an end dump in Anchorage is around $145 an hour with a one-hour minimum and fifteen-minute increments after, and that is a fair benchmark for a tandem in this market. Our rates by truck are on the pricing page, and we quote a day rate when the job is a full day, because a day rate is simpler for everyone.

Cycle math, so you order the right number of trucks

Loading a tandem with a 2-yard bucket takes five or six passes, call it five minutes with a competent operator. The round trip is the rest. A Bowl site with a disposal site or pit fifteen minutes away cycles a truck every forty minutes; two trucks keep the excavator busy. Eagle River to a Bowl pit is an hour round trip in summer, so three trucks. Out to Wasilla with Valley material, the pit is often closer than Anchorage, which is why we source material on the Valley side for Valley jobs and the Mat-Su page explains that in detail.

Seasons and restrictions

Three things change the calendar. Spring weight restrictions cut legal axle loads on state roads from roughly March into June, published by Alaska DOT&PF and, separately, the Mat-Su Borough for its own roads; a loaded tandem on a restricted road is a citation and a damaged road. Snow hauling takes trucks from November through March, and we schedule the contractor work around it. And the earthwork season itself is short; the contractors who book a season in April get trucks in July when everyone else is calling.

What we need from you

• The site address, the material or the spoils, and the disposal or pit you want used, or let us pick.
• A loader or excavator on site with an operator; we haul, we do not dig.
• Locate marks if there is digging: Alaska 811, two business days.
• A firm approach a loaded truck can use. Tell us if it is soft and we will plan for it.
• A name and number on site who can sign a ticket.
