D.O.T. can still mess with you being that you have a company name on the truck. If you have a box on and they weigh you, they can still issue you overweight tickets if you are over that 25,500 lbs mark. If you end up weighing more than 26,000 lbs they can put you out of service until you get enough weight out if the box to get below CDL territory. I've seen it done.
Great to see you putting out content again. Congrats on the new rig. Super stoked to see how it all works out for you, but I can't see it being anything less than successful! Good luck brother.
So pumped for you brother! Sweet rig and glad to see the beard is back with some videos. That rig provides a great option to non cdl folks. Keep it up!
Nice!! Would love your feedback once you get it!! I will be in the market probably next year for a hooklift trailer as well just to have as a backup. What height are you getting on the hook?
Hustle every day, don't stop grinding. Pour everything or as much as you can back into the business and don't take shortcuts! The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary my friend!! Get at it!
Diamond plated tool chest beside the passenger side fuel tank, Alcoa wheels with spike lug nuts covers and chrome drop visor that truck will clean up nice
Maybe get a battery box entry step set up off a peterbilt under the driver side door. Could use it as a toolbox instead of batterys. Also minimizer makes some nice stuff out of polymer.
Congratulations Josh, at the beginning I didn’t like those Hino trucks but yours looks amazing brother 💪🏽💪🏽hey don’t forget the Alcoa Chrome Rims lol 😂 🇵🇷 its gonna look even sicker!!!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters I also sold my pj rollster setup. I basically went through everything that happened to you!! Except snapping the trailer!!!😂… best of luck to you 👍🙏
Correct me if I'm wrong. 25500 plus a can will be in DOT territory, not to mention the material in the dumpster. Can you explain this, I am a bit confused. Thanks Josh!!
2550 is the most that vehicle can carry when fully loaded. NOT the weight of the chassis and Swaploader. Basically, the manufacturer tells you what’s the most you can carry on the vehicle unmodified. Minus the empty weight of the vehicle and dumpster tells you how much you can carry IN the dumpster if that makes sense.
RAD. That's awesome Josh. This is something that I've been seriously looking into and I've been running into weight issues.. Would you mind telling me what the total weight of the truck is and what the weight of your 20 yd Dumpster is. Trying to calculate how much you can haul. Thanks again for all the incredible info!!!
Man, Josh. I wish you did this video before I pulled the trigger on the 5th wheel, roll off set up. That is a sweet package. And you paid about what I did just for the TX Pride set up and 6 cans not including the ram truck. Could a set up like this handle a 30yr can?
Whats up James!! I think 20 is the biggest I can go on a 14' length truck. I am sure the swaploader can handle the weight but the length will be what would stop me from going bigger. You would need to go 16' length or longer to get to 30's I think.
Appreciate the comment but you are 100% correct to mention to CHECK YOUR STATE. I am in the great state of Texas, where we are NOT required to have a DOT # for any vehicle under 26k GVWR if we are NOT CROSSING STATE LINES. Just want everyone here in TX to understand this.
Nice looking truck Josh. I think you got a decent deal on the truck and made the right decision on getting the new truck and depending on what you sold the loneStar dumpsters and trailer for I'm thinking that you didn't have to come up with too much more money to get the new setup?
Just a little out of pocket but not much at all! I definitely took advantage of the high steel prices to sell my trailer and dumpsters at the right time.
Very nice truck! Also, nice ranch. Are you in a remote area? I'm wondering how the dumpster rental business does where the population is less dense, because that's how it is in my town.
Absolutely love auto tarps. There's a little science to it, if you hang over the end of the dumpster and keep it tight, it absolutely keeps all the debris from flying out!
Not yet, I have rise broadband right now which is month to month. It's fine during the day but bogs down real heavy in the evenings which is mainly when I am home. I am actually having a tower built on my property this month which will give me a direct line of site to a direct line of site to a high speed tower and up to 100 mbps download supposedly. Really hope that fixes it cuz it's not cheap!

If you can answer this question, I’d appreciate it. I was going to buy any Isuzu 33,000 pound cab over hook lift Pal finger 22k ,but it does not have the ability to be in gear and operate the hook lift at the same time , but yet they sell it all the time, is this going to hinder me a lot ? or do I just have to put down traction mats on the driveway so I do not damage it. I am just guessing thanks.
My Mack does not operate the hook in gear either, and neither did my Hino. While it’s not ideal, it’s the only way I knew how to operate a hook until I got my International. It’s simple, you leave the truck in Neutral and either drop or pick up the can with your foot on the brake or you take your foot off and allow the truck to be pulled under the can while pulling it onto the truck. It’s a skill you will acquire over time. Most medium duty trucks do not allow you to operate the PTO while in gear.
100% due to what HHP said below. So much easier to get in and out of places is the main difference. But the speed, reliability, dependability and sheer convenience to drop a can from in the cab makes me smile on rainy days or cold days lol.
I thought if you were operating commercially, you had to register and maintain a DOT number even if your non cdl??? Am I wrong on that or is it different here in CO?
The only time I go over a scale is to pay at the landfill so they know how much trash is in the dumpster. Some landfills weigh you both when you come in and when you leave and charge you per ton on the difference in weight of both weigh-ins. Some weigh you empty and give you a weigh ticket and you show the weigh ticket upon entry and they charge you again on the weight of the trash.
Forget the truck, let's get the cow 🤣🤣🤣🤣congrats on the truck
Right!!! Feed that heifer for a little bit and have a year of beef 😂😂😂
my fav part is the cow😂😂😂😂😂

Commercial over 10,000 GVW does not require CDL but does require DOT #.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and being real!
You are so welcome! It's honestly the only way I know how! Lol! Have a great Christmas my friend!
Great to see you putting out content again. Congrats on the new rig. Super stoked to see how it all works out for you, but I can't see it being anything less than successful! Good luck brother.
Yes pumped for new content .
I truly appreciate it my friend!! Have a great Christmas!
So pumped for you brother! Sweet rig and glad to see the beard is back with some videos. That rig provides a great option to non cdl folks. Keep it up!
Haha the beard is definitely back!! Appreciate it my brother!!
Good for you man. I’m getting a hook lift trailer. Cam concepts.
Nice!! Would love your feedback once you get it!! I will be in the market probably next year for a hooklift trailer as well just to have as a backup. What height are you getting on the hook?
@@AmericanAFDumpsters not sure of hook height. I’m getting a 19’ flat deck and a 25 & 30 yard bin. They make it all.
So pumped for you on the new truck 🛻 . Install the toolbox 🧰 on the passenger side frame looked like you have some room there .
That's the plan! It's been a beautiful, busy week brother! How is business in your neck of the woods?
@@AmericanAFDumpsters Everything is good here 👍👍👍 .
Nice truck, I’ve seen some of those as wreckers with over 600k miles, you’ll be good sir.
Hope so! That is the idea! Thanks for the watch!
Getting into this business with my dump trailers
Hoping to grow! Thanks for all the info
That’s how he started dump trailers then switched to pull behind trailer roll off system now a hook 🪝 lift .
Hustle every day, don't stop grinding. Pour everything or as much as you can back into the business and don't take shortcuts! The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary my friend!! Get at it!
That used truck looks nice for 2012. Sounds like great deal overall. I’m excited to c you grow your dumpster rental company!!!
Appreciate it bro!
Diamond plated tool chest beside the passenger side fuel tank, Alcoa wheels with spike lug nuts covers and chrome drop visor that truck will clean up nice
I need to go shopping at the Hino store!! 😂
How's it going? You turning a good profit!
Can’t complain so far!!
Love the new truck!
I do too! Appreciate it!!
Maybe get a battery box entry step set up off a peterbilt under the driver side door. Could use it as a toolbox instead of batterys. Also minimizer makes some nice stuff out of polymer.
Appreciate it brother, will look into it!
I definitely need one of this truck
Sweet lookin set up...
Congratulations Josh, at the beginning I didn’t like those Hino trucks but yours looks amazing brother 💪🏽💪🏽hey don’t forget the Alcoa Chrome Rims lol 😂 🇵🇷 its gonna look even sicker!!!
If you know me, even just a little bit, you will know I’m not even close to being done with this truck!! 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Hey man, love the channel. Id love to connect with you and pick your brain. Im in the Arlington/GP area. Maybe even a collab video. Let me know!
Sounds good, hit me up when you have a chance and lets talk. americanafdumpsters@gmail.com
I love it! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Appreciate it brother!!!! Boricua!!
I think you can find a tool box that could fit on your left step
Yea I have found a few, gonna mock something up soon and hopefully have it up! Thanks for the watch!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters I also sold my pj rollster setup. I basically went through everything that happened to you!! Except snapping the trailer!!!😂… best of luck to you 👍🙏
What is your gvw with an empty 15yd and empty 20yd can?
Box in / convert your steps into a tool storage compartment.
Definitely looking! Thanks for the watch and comment!

I’m assuming a hookleft system is better performing and lighter than a rolloff
Not necessarily, mainly it’s just much faster.
what is the weight of the truck + empty can?
Man, Josh. I wish you did this video before I pulled the trigger on the 5th wheel, roll off set up. That is a sweet package. And you paid about what I did just for the TX Pride set up and 6 cans not including the ram truck.

As I know all commercial vehicles 10,000+ lbs must have dot number on side of a vehicle. Please check it in your state

run the tarp out with no can on back and rewind it, it should fix it
I've done it once, but didn't really make a change. Gotta try it again and record it to see what I am doing wrong. Appreciate the watch!
How do you like the auto tarp? Does it do good keeping debris from flying out
Absolutely love auto tarps. There's a little science to it, if you hang over the end of the dumpster and keep it tight, it absolutely keeps all the debris from flying out!
Did you resolve your slow home internet situation?
Not yet, I have rise broadband right now which is month to month. It's fine during the day but bogs down real heavy in the evenings which is mainly when I am home. I am actually having a tower built on my property this month which will give me a direct line of site to a direct line of site to a high speed tower and up to 100 mbps download supposedly. Really hope that fixes it cuz it's not cheap!
I might be wrong brother, but if you add a can then you’re above the 26K right? Wouldn’t that do the CDL requirement? I’m in Florida I could be wrong.

@@AmericanAFDumpsters got it!!!
Can you operate hook lift from inside the cab? Good stuff Josh and I myself am starting a junk removal and trailer rental biz in DFW!
Yes sir, everything can be done from in the cab with a remote
@@AmericanAFDumpsters Nice and thank you for the content!

Is it easier to drop off and pick up versus the pickup and roll off trailer set up?
Your total overall length is shorter better maneuverability for sure .
100% due to what HHP said below. So much easier to get in and out of places is the main difference. But the speed, reliability, dependability and sheer convenience to drop a can from in the cab makes me smile on rainy days or cold days lol.
What size cans do you run off of this truck alone ?
14-16 footers
I thought if you were operating commercially, you had to register and maintain a DOT number even if your non cdl??? Am I wrong on that or is it different here in CO?
Each state is 100% different UNLESS you are crossing state lines, which I don't do. So TXDOT states that I can be under 26k lbs and not need a DOT.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters ok I understand that. That’s a great advantage for you to keep costs/headaches down!
So you don’t have to run dot numbers, but do you still have to though scales?
The only time I go over a scale is to pay at the landfill so they know how much trash is in the dumpster. Some landfills weigh you both when you come in and when you leave and charge you per ton on the difference in weight of both weigh-ins.
