Rock Hauling

What happens here

During another driving segment, the creator and Chad engage in a detailed discussion about the financial aspects of rock hauling for contractors. They break down the costs and profits, noting that Chad purchases boulders for approximately $25 per ton from a quarry located 4-5 hours away. He then sells them for about $75 per ton (plus tax) to contractors like the creator. This allows Chad to earn roughly $100 per hour for a 12-hour workday, highlighting the demanding yet potentially lucrative nature of the job, which requires balancing long hours on the road with personal life.

Goal: Understand the financial model of boulder sourcing and transportation.
