Some Truck Guys Talk BIG, But Trailer Guys Hustle Harder

- I’m tired of hearing all the crap talked to trailer guys from the big truck guys, as if they aren’t real businesses simply because of the equipment they use. Even worse, when some of the truck guys actually started in trailers and then want to talk down to others because now they have a “real truck.”
Let’s discuss this, and let’s try to change this industry mindset that some businesses are less than others simply because they use a trailer vs an actual rolloff truck!

- roll-off trailer guys HUSTLE HARDER. 💪🚛
There’s this ridiculous mindset in the dumpster rental industry that if you don’t drive a big roll-off truck, you’re somehow not “legit.” That’s complete BS. In this video, I’m exposing the real truth about roll-off trailers vs roll-off trucks and why trailer guys have to work TWICE as hard to make the same money - or more!
If you’re running a non-CDL dumpster rental business or considering getting into the roll-off trailer game, this video is for you. We break down:
✅ Why roll-off trailers require MORE hustle than trucks
✅ How trailer guys outwork the competition DAILY
✅ Why truck drivers love to hate on trailers (while they continue to make MONEY)
✅ The REAL earning potential of a roll-off trailer business
🚛💨 Let’s get real:
• Driving a roll-off truck is easier because the system does most of the work.
• Roll-off trailers? You’re out there hustling. You’re in and out of the truck, winching, strapping, maneuvering tighter spaces, and out-thinking every move.
• You don’t need a CDL (some setups do require a CDL). You don’t need a $300k truck althoigh it is easier and more convenient. You just need WORK ETHIC.
📢 The Debate Ends Here:
Truck guys love to say:
🚫 “Trailers aren’t real roll-offs.”
🚫 “You’re just playing in the big leagues.”
🚫 “That’s cute. Get a REAL truck.”
Meanwhile, trailer guys are out here stacking cash, expanding businesses, and running circles around ‘big truck’ operations. 💰
If you’re thinking about starting a dumpster rental business but don’t want to drop six figures on a big rig, this video is going to open your eyes.

Hey Josh, always appreciate your hustle sir, you're always killing it and you're not a guy that talks about it, you live it and really respect your dedication game sir! Brian - Prosper, TX
I appreciate you and your comment Brian! I never wanna be that guy, do as I say but not as I do. Or even better, just use me to learn from my mistakes and do as you wish lol. I dont want anyone to do as I do, I just try to share my story and my journey and if it can help some, thats incredible! Hope all is well brother!!
icans is awesome!!
I'm so glad you said it. Everyone had to start somewhere. And ain't nothing wrong with starting at the bottom. And I'm my opinion starting with a trailer is not the bottom. Thanks for all you do Josh Roman
We all have our journeys we've got to go down and our hills we have to climb! Biggest thing to me is to never try and pull someone down from climbing theirs! Appreciate the watch and comment brother!
I still remember the early days of the “dumpster” business when you went to hook up one of your trailers and couldn’t get it low enough because you pinned the jack up too high not accounting for the weight of trash on your suspension when you tried to hook back up to the trailer. It looks like you’ve come a pretty long way in the last couple years
I've learned a lot since then, but still have a lot to learn. Thanks for the reminder of the hustle!
If my truck auto parked, I'd be pissed af lol.
I'm the trailer guy. I've always loved getting hated on. Keegan, my driver doesn't even enjoy our new Kenworth, prefers the trailer everytime! He just got good with it and comfortable.
And there is ZERO wrong with that!!! Tired of the "holier than though" mentality simply because someone has a bigger truck. That's not a flex imo. And thats coming from a guy who has used every type of equipment out there!!!
I’ve been in the Rolloff industry since I graduated high school. Drove all kinds of trucks in between. Nothing wrong starting somewhere in fact starting small and building is something to be proud of. Trailer or truck whatever gets your feet wet and makes you money. Started NTX in 2021 and have grown it a bit. But I think it’s time for me to put the pedal to the metal and grow. Let get this!! Plenty of work for all of us
Yes sir, get out there and get your fair share.
You aren't wrong. But work smart not hard. But in the end you do what you gotta do. I have total respect for trailer guys getting it done. But they are doing it for a reason. Cheaper to get into the industry. Even if they stay in trailers for a long time, trucks make more sense in the long run. Look at Rollling Ops, Look at Lifes Apprentice, Look at you AF. You've all integrated trucks into your business eventually. Trailer is a smart move financially to get in and build your brand. Nothing wrong with that.
Right on point and you can haul more on a truck than trailer.
I agree big trucks are more efficient and might be the way to grow and scale a business if thats what you want. But, the guy who can operate his business with a truck and a trailer, and can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment can be so much more profitable than a big guy too. Theres a 100 ways to look at it. We all have a vision for our own companies and what we want to do. Why do people tend to put others down simply because they don't have the same vision? It makes no sense. A guy with a truck and trailer and say 10-20 dumpsters can easily make 6 figures a year with very high profit margins. Thats not a bad way to make a living imo.
In regards to the stolen CC scam. Take a picture of the renters ID that requested it. If charges are disputed. Report the person who rented it and sue.
That might work!
i had the same trailer custumers always saw it like a trailer and not a real company i sold the trailer and bought a truck i miss my trailer
I always felt like, if you depict what you offer on your website (assuming most people would find us on our websites) then there should be no surprises when we show up. For instance, when I used to rent out dump trailers as "dumpsters" I would always make sure the site had nothing but dump trailers in the pics along with emails that were sent out to customers. I wanted to make sure they knew exactly what they were getting before even picking up the phone or we show up. But, who knows how many people saw that on my site and decided NOT to book because they wanted a traditional dumpster. I do feel the rolloff truck and dumpsters is the more traditional, most efficient and most professional way to go, however, I could save a boat ton of money if it were just me and a truck and trailer vs a big rolloff truck if you know what I mean. Appreciate the watch and comment!
Hey Josh, what ever happened to the wheels and tires you had ordered for the ram from that tire shop a while ago?
Bruh, they had originally told me 3 weeks. 8 weeks later they still didn't have my rims so I tried to cancel, and they wouldn't give me my deposit back. Then I changed my mind on how I wanted it and decided to keep the stock rims and go big AF tires lol
Up up
And away.... lol
Nah its a dumpster. Just put stickers on it cover the scratches
Yes sir!
28$ ton were im from.. but that's the price of business!
Thats not a bad rate at all!
Let the haters leave comments and ignore it. Simple.
Easy, but sometimes I gotta vent lol
yup. hotshot guys deal with the same crap lol
Very true, I've seen it!
Long as we are all making a living and feeding our families that’s all that matters. Yes someday i hope to get a truck but if not all good. I don’t criticize anyone for making a living as long as its legal 💪
Amen!!
Got to love the hater, Josh
Haha keyboard warriors!
Nah its a dumpster. Just put stickers on it cover the scratches
Boom! This guy gets it!
