Thx Mr. Robert , you gave out great information, I’m just starting my dump trailer business a 7X14 trailer but I don’t understand how I can get businesses from companies and what good questions to ask them . Is there a way you can help me ? I am in Louisiana thank you very much
Pick up the phone or walk in ask him hey what is it that you do and then try to figure out if you can add value to their operation… The magic formula is take action work hard
I watched you to post early this morning, and then missed it when you did! Hope you had a great day and a great tomorrow! Went by and checked on my trailer that's being built, yesterday....soon!
What's a good size trailer to start off with? At this time all I have is a used 2007 Chevy Express Van with a 4.3 liter. I have used this van to haul off trash and it's done very well. I have made almost $1000 in a month, any recommendations is greatly appreciated
Unfortunately I think you’re going to be limited with the power that your van has to pull any substantial roads and when I mean by that is anything that’s over about 8000 pounds. I always suggest getting the biggest trailer you feel comfortable pulling
Thanks for the tips, greatly appreciated. I’m looking to get started with this in the spring. I’ve heard it’s the best time with spring cleanups and such.
Dump trailer business is not a side hustle if your doing it legally. There’s DOT compliance, commercial insurance, and general liability insurance at a minimum. This is costly. Most people who do junk removal and dumpster hustle type things in my area, are doing so illegally and are not legit. These types of people will get confronted at some point or another by DOT. These types of people who operate illegally, hurt the people who paid their dues and run legit.
@@hustlenation4779 I’m just saying, there’s a lot more to it than just posting up adds. Got to do it legal or you could have some harsh consequences if someone gets hurt using your equipment or you hurt someone moving your equipment and not having commercial insurance.

I have had a trucking business for 18 years. And I am looking to get a few trailers that are 7×14 that would haul 6 yards. My question is what do you charge. There is so much you can do with them haul dirt,mulch,gravel,cleanups storage cleaning garage cleaning basement and haul bobcats tractors. Just wanting some idea on charges. Do want to go in the hole
Hey my brother. Been a truck driver for 20 years now and for the past 14 as an independent o/o. Got the time to get off of it. This might be a good idea.
Great video Robert thanks for the info. I’m curious what truck do you use to pull the trailers? I bought a 2500 Cummins and I’m thinking of using that.
Hello, I've been watching a few of you who have been successful with this. I have a few questions and hope you/yall can help. What are reoccurring maintenance fees that you incur with a dump trailer? Would you recommend starting with a new or used dump (considering the maintenance)? Would you start with a large or a small dump trailer?
To start with I would buy a new trailer and that way you know exactly what you’re getting. I have mine serviced about once every six months wheel bearings greased check the brakes Inspect hydraulic system
Hey I have a truck and dump trailer as well and am wondering if you have any suggestions for prospecting. I was thinking of calling roofing companies and real estate Management companies to just let them know I offer full service junk removal etc etc but I was curious if you had any other input to companies or certain industries I should start prospecting to as well. Any information is helpful, Thank you!!!
Charge more for debris hauling brother! Like $200 minimum! Subbed to you. I'm starting off with a 5 yard, and soon 7 yard trailers. Non dumping. Working my way up to a dump, and rebuilding my old 1 ton Chevy C30.
Im 19 and my dad just passed leaving a decent amount of money, im not looking to spend it all im looking to start a business. I’ve been looking at some dump trailers and i have a 2014 highcountry 5.3 . What trailer would be best for me to have ? And is this a good business to start ?
Sorry about your loss my father died from cancer. I would suggest holding the money for 90 days, going to the feelings experiencing grief before making any major decisions.
If you're buying a dump trailer inspect the frame good! I bought one and first time I used it part of the frame buckled! Wanted one for years and this was the first "affordable" one I found. After repairs it will not be any deal at all. Buyer beware...
I had that happen with my second trailer. It is an iron bowl and I paid 5000 for it. Well once I had to replace all the brakes and bearings and everything that ran the price pretty close up to about 8000 it was not a deal at all
Never include dump fees with trailer rent prices always charge seperate flat rate which is $150 for me, after pickup come back to the customer with a receipt and charge them the dump fee you paid
@@hustlenation4779 I live in California and in the Bay Area the dump fees are like $90 a ton so I never estimate I always bring back a receipt and have them pay the disposal fee after just so I'm guaranteed to make $150 everytime
@@thomas25082 All of mine basically pay in advance or I have a long-term personal relationship with them and I trust that they are going to pay me so I don’t have that issue
I haul in compost and manure. I literally get paid to bring people sh*t. I also get paid to clean out barns and stables. Paid twice to haul the same sh*t.
Yes sir I would be going around to antique stores, building supply houses, any place that might need a local delivery I would be putting it out there that you’re available
What if you leave it at a customers location for them to fill it with debris and they put cars batteries or air conditioners at the bottom the like and you don’t see it until you get to the dump?
I was afraid you were going to say that. I can parallel park with the best of them. But add a trailer and I become a comedy routine. Although my experience is limited. I go to a boat launch to watch people for entertainment

Thats the question I wanted to ask is how to secure the trailer when leaving it with a customer. Do they assume responsibility if stolen or is that partvof the risk?
@@etgrider77 You will have to secure the trailer. You can pull the emergency switch connector locking the brakes. Get a good welder/ fabricator to make a toung lock that hides the padlock or has limited access. Most toung locks on the market are not that secure.

The dump trailer is $200 for me to bring it by drop it off and when I pick it up I look at how much is inside of it and then I determine on what the cost of the dump fee is going to be because that is different than the trailer fee
