Dump Truck Rates by State: Owner-Operator Survey
What owner-operators report charging for a truck with its driver, by truck type and pay basis.
Results appear once we have at least 5 reports for a truck type. Add your rate to the survey.
Until then, for reference: one industry source puts average dump truck hourly service rates at $85–$130 per hour, varying by region, and advises reviewing them against rising costs (Dump Truck Dispatcher).
Official rates
Some government agencies publish hourly rates for dump trucks on public work. They aren't market rates, but they're a documented reference: official dump truck rates.

How the survey works
Self-reported by owner-operators, reviewed for obvious errors, not independently verified. Updated weekly.
- Rates are for the truck with its driver, not an employee driver's wage.
- Only reports from the last 24 months count.
- A truck type and pay basis appear once they have at least 5 reports. A state gets its own page at 10 reports.
- Reports outside $40–$300 an hour, $1–$75 a ton or $50–$5,000 a load are left out as likely typos.
- We never show individual reports or email addresses.
