@@SonomaStrong we received two new $199 hand carts and a brand new shop vac on a job today. We’re a couple of your biggest cheerleaders. I’m going to spend $3,000 and get a professional smoker for another side hustle in the spring. My junk customers have ordered smoked meats every few weeks. I wouldn’t have ever met them without y’all. Have a great Thanksgiving
You two are awesome! I’ve taken my first step and sold the daily and invested in a great used truck. So grateful for my wife’s encouragement and push for me to chase this dream. Thanks Matt and Jo Jo. Keep Haulin and Ballin !!
@@BaptistJoshua It has been slow, but being in the winter months in Utah that might be the norm. My best tip for you is to advertise as much as you can. Utilize social media and most importantly use your truck and trailer as roving billboards.
such an awesome couple and so helpful.. Thanks for encouraging me to start up my business.. This is getting me so excited to work hard and get my name out there 🙌
You guys are motivating me so much. My husband and I have been thinking of doing this for a few months now. Especially because we have an actual dump truck like yours.
Thanks matt and jo jo! You have given me so much inspiration to start my buisness. Im working the 4 seasons on the side and hopefully will be able to go full time next year.
Once again, I appreciate this video. I've fallen way off and basically starting from scratch. Your videos and story inspire me and encourage me. Thank you!
Watching y’all have inspired me to start a junk removal business in a suburb south of Fort Worth, Texas. I have a 2020 tundra and a 14 ft landscaping trailer. Currently work a 9-5 but have a few junk jobs lined up between Christmas and New Years by talking to realtors and construction companies. For pricing I’m thinking $800 for full load, $600 for 3/4 load $400 for 1/2 load, $200 for 1/4 load and $100 minimum pickup fee.
Thanks Fellas…I Ordered My 7X14 6-Foot-Wall Tralier I Should Be Getting To Me By Next Week…I’m Kinda Nervous, It’s Definitely My Weekend Hustle…I Stay Watching Your Videos…
Looking to start up … I have so many questions. How do you handle payments? When In the transaction do you take payment ?… before or after the job gets done? If I show up.. spend hours putting things in the truck … and then the customer decides there’s a problem and they don’t want to pay? How do you guys handle this? Ever been stiffed? Do you just go back and dump the stuff back on the property? So many questions lol thanks
We will answer this on our live, it’s a good question We agree on price before starting the job, we get paid after the job and have. Ever had a problem getting paid
I currently have a 1988 toyota 22r pick up truck with a custom box and do junk removal with it! I can haul about 2 tons and a half and when I do get Jobs I make bank ngl lol but these trucks typically go for 3,000 to 5,000 so if you have that kind of money saved up I recommend it to everyone that these trucks are reliable as long as you take good care of them
How much do you/should you Charge for a Pickup bed full ??? Should I Modify the walls ? And build them up ? Heard the dump Charges extra for built up walls I’m in Maryland. East Coast. Been watching all your videos 👍🙏🏼🤔✔️. Motivation- T.I. Voice
Hi Matt&Jo-Jo!! I love your channel, you guys inspire me to get started. I just bought a 21 tundra. What is your advice on dump trailer brands? I know PJ trailers are good but super expensive. What other brands you recommend, I don’t mind paying for quality. Thanks
This is different depending on where you live, check with your county. We have a business license and we needed a waste permit from our county. We have a how to start a business series 1-5 that you may find helpful
Can you guys give me some advice about the website builder, and how you promote the business in the social media, and I live in NY and here I need a special plate to put in my truck.
If you need website help you can contact Jade @ Designsbyjade.tech or websitehelp@mail.com. For advertising we have a video called how to advertise for free, we also have a channel membership that talks you through posting on Facebook and google.
Hey Sonoma Sorry about that but the inspector is asking me to get this done before he come out and give me my permit. I search online and can't find nothing that has to do with safety plan. He said it a plan I have to write down. I believe it has something to do with osha. I'm not sure that the only step I have left to do to start my business

I love your posts thank you for the work you put into this for us! I do have a question. One of the main things that stops someone from leaving the 9 to 5 is they are afraid about health insurance. What kind of pricing have you guys experienced? Has it been very hard to get a decent price on health care?
Hey guys me and a significant other are on the verge of creating our dumping/hauling business just wanted to see what you guys thought of us using the ‘strong’ at the end of ours. It would be ‘ Antelope Valley Strong ‘ lmk if we have the okay or not. If not we understand. P.s. we watch you guys 24/7 and inspired us
@@SonomaStrong I got off papers a year ago after sitting up for five years straightened out started a junk removal business. Good inspiration crew thsnks
Check with your bank to see what you need. We suggest that you buy a used truck and not finance anything when you fist start. We started with just a truck and a utility trailer.
On your next insurance what did u put down as what type of work u would like insured . Would it be debris removal ?? Good morning ! Thanks for the knowledge
Hello guys, I am at the point that I want to get insurance for my junk removal business. What is the best insurance company out there ? Not many of them insure this kind ok business. I would appreciate some advice. Thanks

THANK YOU.

We got ours from one stop trailer,
What permits or licenses did you have to obtain?
This is different depending on where you live, check with your county. We have a business license and we needed a waste permit from our county. We have a how to start a business series 1-5 that you may find helpful
@@SonomaStrong I'm in Los Angeles County. I tried looking but I can't find any info.
Did you guys have commercial insurance and general liability when you started out? Also what category do we select on next insurance?
Yes, and it’s under cleaning service
👍👍👍. # 1 in California .
How do I get a DOT number on my truck?

How do I attend a safety plan and training
I’m not sure what you mean, if you mean a first aid course you can find one in your area by calling your local fire dept or searching online.

Any advice for a guy starting in NJ? Very strict rules here as far as getting rid of trash.
We do not know anything about the laws regarding this state
How much waste that dump truck you have in the video? And do you have a source for 1 I can look into, much appreciated!
Monarch trucks out of San Jose ask for Bob
Do I need a contractors license to start this business ??
Love the videos! What type of clients call you for illegal dump pickups?
Property managers for behind places like Safeway and CVS
Can we start without waiting for the fictitious name statement to clear?
Yes, but don’t do your website, cards, signs etc. until them and do it soon
I love your posts thank you for the work you put into this for us! I do have a question. One of the main things that stops someone from leaving the 9 to 5 is they are afraid about health insurance. What kind of pricing have you guys experienced? Has it been very hard to get a decent price on health care?
Call around and see about health care and get different prices. Matt pays about 400 a month, it’s also a tax write off

Yes that’s fine, there are other people that have asked about using the word strong in their name. We wish you luck, thanks for watching the videos
Dope
Do you have any videos of where to buy a truck like that with a lift
Yes, we have some videos on it and we are doing a new one this week
@@SonomaStrong I got off papers a year ago after sitting up for five years straightened out started a junk removal business. Good inspiration crew thsnks
@@brian2100 how is your business going? I am wanting to start. Need a vehicle first.
@@BaptistJoshua Going good I need a truck like there’s with the lift gate save your back
@@brian2100 yep! How do you spread your name?
How do file taxes for your business. LLC or Corp?
Depends on what you are, are you an Corp, LLC or Sole Proprietor?
@@SonomaStrong
I have it registered as anything yet.
What are you. How do you do it.
What do you Recommend.
What is better tax wise?
Good vibes🤙 Any tips for myself starting up in the San Diego/Orange County area?
Lots of tips in our videos, check with your city\county and see if there are any special permits you need before starting.
You two are too cute together
Thanks for the nice comment.
Can you get fridges up steps by yourself with that good dolly 🤔
You could, I would use straps
You chose DBA over LLC?
If so, why? What made you de use to go that route?
We had no assets so sole proprietor was the way to go. Now that we own assets and have a house we are becoming an Scorp
Do you guys charge sales tax?
No
Matt got a question, do I need to write a business plan to get the financing to buy a new truck like yours?
Check with your bank to see what you need. We suggest that you buy a used truck and not finance anything when you fist start. We started with just a truck and a utility trailer.
On your next insurance what did u put down as what type of work u would like insured . Would it be debris removal ??
Good morning ! Thanks for the knowledge
We use “house cleaning” on our Next insurance. I figure we’re cleaning out junk so close enough.
Yeah we put cleaning service too
Thank u
Nice truck!
Thank you
