WAKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Can anyone please tell me what the going rate for hauling in water by the load, per 325 gal. One guy I know said he charges 125.00 per 300 gal that he hauls to the jobsite. What other prices are out there. I have proposed to a contractor XX.00 per load/trip, new construction that’s two loads/trips per job = XXX.00 for two loads of water. The average load will cost FUEL (DIESEL GOLD), TRAVEL TIME 1.5 – 2.5 HRS ROUND TRIP, MYSELF AND 1 EMPLOYEE @ 10.00 HR.

To do the house, garage floor, porch, patio, sidewalks, driveway its gonna take two loads. I had to argue the point of not charging by the partial load with him. A tank and a quarter will still involve two trips.

What is a good fair rate. The guy in charge of invoicing thinks this is way to much. He understood at the meeting, but now says they can’t pay this on top of the price for doing the job. I am not charging for the water, I am just trying to cover the cost involved with the transportation. If this was a temp situation, I would not even charge, But this drought is gonna last a few months I think. I need some opinions please.
