Eddie,
I'll take a slightly different approach and throw out some other options. Seeing you have 100 acres, is there any chance you could develop a small 3 - 5 acre pit on your own property? You could probably get 10,000 tons crushed pretty reasonably. You could even clear the overburden yourself and reclaim it when done. Once the crushing is done, you could buy a cheap truck and use it for your hauling. If not, what about a neighbors property?
Another thought is to get a price for the rock at the pit if you purchased the rock and hire the dump trucks to haul it. Around here, I can get a truck and pup for $65-75/hour depending on the time of year. A typical 4 axle truck and 4 axle trailer will haul about 25 tons and I wouldn't even consider moving 10,000 tons solo (truck only).
Personally, if I wanted to do my own hauling, I'd buy a 4 axle truck and 4 axle trailer to keep my hauling costs down. The downside is a decent truck like this is going to be in the $70,000 plus range and you can plan on burning $2,000 a month in fuel. Given 10,000 tons will be about 400 trips, you'd be running it three months solid. (On edit, it's more like 5 months!)
Actually the more I think about it, I'd look for a closer rock source and get my hauling cost down. I definitely wouldn't go with a single axle truck since this would work out to around 1,250 loads. At two hours per load, you'd be at 2,500 hours /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I'm kinda rambling here, but I'd want to get the work done as fast a possible and get the RV Park opened up to start recupping some of my money. This is a pretty ambitious project for one person, so lots to consider. Anyway you go though, it sounds like a fun project with a lot of potential. Good luck /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
