No problemo, glad I could help. But honestly right now I feel is not the time to get into the dumptruck business it's got too many uncertainty right now. Unless you have something super solid locked down.

Killing it James! I’m gonna hit you up in about a year, could use some of your wisdom and experience when I get things started once I’m out of the Army!! Also, I need to make it down to San Diego and meet up with you. Been too long brother!!
Dear Sir, I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been following your journey in the dump truck business on TH-cam and have been truly inspired by your success and insights. I obtained my CDL-A license in 2018, but I haven’t utilized it as I was a teacher until recently. I made a quiet exit from teaching due to the constant scrutiny from superiors and the increasing difficulty of the job, despite my love for the students. I am now seeking a career change into the dump truck industry and would greatly appreciate your advice on getting started. Specifically, I am interested in whether I should initially work for a union or non-union company. I’ve seen many trucks on the road and assume there are pros and cons to both. Additionally, I’m curious if it would be wise to gain a year or two of experience before purchasing my own truck and starting my own business. I value being home with my family daily or every other day and want to ensure this career choice supports that goal. Your guidance would mean a lot to me as I look for a positive change and a successful future in this industry. Thank you for your time and advice. Best regards, John
I thought you don’t need a DOT or CA number I don’t remember which one it was but if you don’t leave the state I thought one of those could be left out?
How are these trucks holding up for you? Are you running into a tons of problems before 500k miles? These new trucks are so expensive and seem to be very temperamental compared to the older trucks. I am considering getting back into the business, but the new trucks scare me a bit with how complex they are. I know from past experience being handy and doing your own repairs would keep you working and save a lot of down time. I hear horror stories of trucks being stuck at the dealer for weeks at a time for random issues. I’m thinking of picking up a super dump with less than 250k miles to hopefully avoid issues. Any insight would be very helpful. Best of luck out there.

hi.. I'm in California and looking to put together a book in case my husband gets stopped by a compliance officer. We recently started the business and have the DOT and Employer Pull Number, we're currently waiting for the CA number. as for the MC number... People are saying we don't need that number.. Only if were going across state lines. I'm confused on that part. If you can lend your Expertise id really appreciate it. :)
So I call it the "Jobsite Hustle" and I actually did some of it today where you just drive around and go talk to people or contractors and offer your services.
Thanks for the info. Keep the series going. Can you do a video about all your equipment and what you do with them?
Ya I'll keep them going and I'll start working on some videos about the equipment.
Man thanks u told me everything I needed 2hear!!

Hahha if been telling people do not count on the people you think will help you because they won't lol so true
I thought you don’t need a DOT or CA number I don’t remember which one it was but if you don’t leave the state I thought one of those could be left out?
Where do you get dump truck work/contracts?
Check out my jobsite hustle video, but I can answer more questions later
Hi I'm going to be coming out to the Temecula area and was wondering if I could talk to you about relocating that way.

How long this process take?
I'd say probably somewhere around 2 months, but it depends on the state also
Hey man do you need your own authority for dump truck here in Cali?
It depends what you're doing but typically if you are hauling for hire then yes. If you do your own thing than not really
@@Mr_Get_Muddy I really appreciate that reply. I don’t mean to sound like a rookie butt what do you mean Hauling for hire exactly?
Man business is tricky in California
True fact lol
Is it easier buy a used truck?
How did you end up getting work?
So I call it the "Jobsite Hustle" and I actually did some of it today where you just drive around and go talk to people or contractors and offer your services.
@@Mr_Get_Muddy thank you for the response - wish you lots of continued success 🙏🏻
If you wanna shoot me a message on ig we can talk about it more.
