Hauling debris may pay more than hauling sand, but there are no dumptrucks left hauling in New Orleans. At least I did not see any on my last several trips to town.
Acording to the rumor mill, and we all know what that means, the dump trucks are gone, along with the heavy equipment used to load them, because they were not getting paid by the people with the direct FEMA contract.
So, while hauling debris may pay better, hauling sand and gravel is collectable.
All I saw still in the city were pick up trucks with dump trailers and small Bobcats loading them.
