I actually watched this whole video through without changing or fast forwarding. Yall are cool I just bought a chevy 2500hd cash. Now looking at trailers! Because of yall and the Reyes vid. Thank yall. Best of luck keep going strong!
Idk if you guys read the comments but just wanna say thanks for your videos. I’ve been following your channel for a minute now as I’ve been preparing to start my own junk biz in Spokane, WA and your channel is fire. I can’t wait to get my biz up to your level! Thanks guys!
Hey Matt what do you guys do with fridges and other Freon appliances? I'm really trying to avoid paying over $50 at the dump and or an HVAC guy to drain The freon just so I can scrap it legally, I really would like to find some Scrappers or Appliance Guys that can take those off my shoulders it would save me a lot of money in fees
You could put an add on Craigslist to find people to do that. You could also take a hazardous waste class (online) google search that. If you take that class I think you could get a license for that and learn to do it yourself. Just some thoughts for you
I watch your videos every morning before I go to work, I'm still struggling trying to get my business started, but I'll get there. I already have a truck, well SUV, my next goal is to get my LLC, EIN, Insurance, and finally a dump trailer. My end goal is to grow it big enough to have some good employees, and have something for my niece to take over when she get's older.
You guys are awesome!! Definitely motivating my man and I ❤❤ we have our llc and looking for a trailer. Thank you so much for all your valuable information, keep the videos coming!!
Hey guys I appreciate the content. Very informative. Quick question on the dump trailer. Do you need Dot numbers in California or a CDL to drive that setup. Also if you don't mind do you need commercial insurance for the newer tundra in Cali since towing the dump trailer? Any info would be helpful.
Were you guys still working full time jobs when you started? If so, what did you do with any business that came your way while you were working other jobs? Pick them up after work or schedule for another day? Also, did people turn you down because of this? Thanks in advance for any response and I love watching your videos. Very inspiring
Yes, Matt was working nights at Safeway. When he would answer his phone he would try to line jobs up for when he was off. I don’t suggest you tell customers you do this part time, I would say I’m booked or I have an opening this day at this time. Try to get them on the calendar as fast as you can
is it possible that a 26 foot box truck would be the best vehicle for junk removal? I know you guys like to push that button and dump...but at 26 feet long and about 9 feet high, couldn't it be filled with basically 4 times what a dump trailer holds? I know it would suck to manually dump once filled, but look at all the time driving back and forth to the dump and waiting in lines. Plus, it could do moves, deliveries, Amazon Relay runs, etc. Unless someone is completely haulin and ballin, only have to dump once at the end of the day. Keep up the great videos! Love the channel!
Am considering a box, I've been doing junk Removal 3 years on a trailer. The only obstacle I really see is the smell. Some jobs are just that bad. Get a trailer too, good luck.
Love the videos! I will give you a little nugget of advice. Take a vacation! I suggest a week, but even if it’s a long weekend away. You may think that you don’t have the time, but trust me it’s a game-changer. It doesn’t cost; it pays. You two lovebirds need that time away to relax, clear your minds & enjoy each other’s company. You’ll be surprised how refreshed you are when you hit your flo again. Keep Grinding!
That’s great advice, we took it and had so much fun. Here is our trip to Vegas. th-cam.com/video/_Rm_CEQiEBQ/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if you watch it. Agreed you have to take the time to enjoy life. One thing we like about this business is it slows down a little in the winter and you can take a little time for yourself.
Thank you for sharing. I used to do hauling for banks, and real estate companies. I've should've stuck with it. Now is to late for me cause I have a bad back but I'm trying to get my 20 years old son to watch your videos and get motivated and inspired... Thank you again .
Do you guys answer your on phone calls or do you use an answering service? And if you do answer your own calls how do you do that while driving the truck or doing a junk removal job?
When you pickup from property managers or businesses do you bill them or do they typically pay you that day. Thanks for all your content! Love the video's!
Great video. But If demand is there why not speed up the process by financing the truck and trailer. Thsts like paying 500 a month which allows you to make $10k or more.
We always tell people to make sure your in a good area for junk removal. We don’t suggest that people go and finance something right away. They should first make sure it’s a business that will click with them.
@@SonomaStrong yes that is the most prudent approach. That would be a great video BTW "what makes an area good for Junk Removal" Appreciate all the content you guys put out.
Did you have a set amount you wanted to make or had to make for how many months before you decided to quit your full time job? I have been doing junk removal for 2 months now. I want to be able to make 2X what I make than my full time job monthly for 6 months consecutively before I decide to go full time.
I just invested in a another laser printer. Got card stock paper ( 110lb ). Printed 8 papers with 4 flyers on each paper. 32 flyers in all. Ill leave them at peoples houses that i see trash. All i did was copy my business card front side for easy flyers. Now i can also print business envelopes , labels , door hangers and sticker's for my next strategy for advertising. Plus its a good tax write off for next year. $380 new printer investment can make me more then i payed for the printer. Its fishing with flyers 😂. Wont catch one every time. But you still go back out and try again. Sooner or later I'll catch a big fish with them.
what kind of MPG are you getting from your NPR dump setup? also, thanks for putting out great junk removal content, you've got me wanting to start up my own operation out here in southern california.
Awesome story! You guys are amazing. Next goal, tell people about your business let them put your logo on their own trucks and you send them the jobs. All they have to do is do the job and they will pay you a fee for each job you send them. Once you have a lot of people working for you, you dont have to do anything and let the money just come to you. 👍👌
Almost 2 months in from starting my business. Getting busier every week. Appreciate your videos and advise when I've reached out personally. You addressed a situation at end of this video regarding selling items. Was curious if you guys did that? I recently picked up a few items I can't see throwing away. Debating on getting a storage unit to hold resellables.
Yes you can resale items. We put them up for cheap on Facebook market. You could do a storage unit, we haven’t done that, if it can sell fast we just post it cheap and get rid of it fast. Good luck to you
Hi, I haven’t started a junk removal business yet, but I go around picking up “trash” clean it up if needed, then resell for a profit. A storage unit makes your life super easy. Plus, I have my customers pick up at the storage unit.
I'm getting close-ish to retirement from the army and gonna start junk removal company. Im in the process of getting a trailer and doing the llc. Starting now while it doesn't hurt to aquire all the things and I can do it part time. Love the vids. I wanna get into cleaning up after natural disasters too.
Very inspired by you guys ! have started my junk removal business here in Florida . I was wondering , when do you guys receive payment ? Before or after the job is done?
Another great video. Would love to hear what Jojo was doing before Sonoma Strong. Did she do junk removal, reselling, marketing, something else related to your business?
Thank you for the great advice! I’m looking forward to making my own business as well. I also wanted to let you know that on your website under “we truly care” there’s an extra space in the explanation bellow after “we”. “We care about our environment and take every opportunity to recycle and donate items.”
Thanks for the great information. I’m saving now for a utility or dump trailer. I have savings but I’m going to add to business with earned money only. Spring is coming so that’ll help
If you want to see how we make money check out this video

Did you have commercial insurance when you first started? Or only when you bought the dump truck?
Once I put decals on the truck I got commercial insurance
You guys are awesome!

@@SonomaStrong the way she looks at you. Hurry up and marry that woman. She's beautiful and she has your back.😂

No dot number if under 10,000 pounds and yes commercial for the truck and trailer set up
Great! Thanks for the info. Truly appreciated.

You guys think it’s possible for a junk removal business here in LA?
Yes, there are a few out there already doing really good
Dam man y’all made it and are even giving us raw advice keep it up new sub
Thanks for subscribing. Glad you like the videos
How much is this dump truck ? I heard u pay commercial insurance 6k a year but maybe i missed the price of the truck.
About 65,000.
is it possible that a 26 foot box truck would be the best vehicle for junk removal? I know you guys like to push that button and dump...but at 26 feet long and about 9 feet high, couldn't it be filled with basically 4 times what a dump trailer holds? I know it would suck to manually dump once filled, but look at all the time driving back and forth to the dump and waiting in lines. Plus, it could do moves, deliveries, Amazon Relay runs, etc. Unless someone is completely haulin and ballin, only have to dump once at the end of the day. Keep up the great videos! Love the channel!
Do whatever works great for you. Good luck
Am considering a box, I've been doing junk Removal 3 years on a trailer. The only obstacle I really see is the smell. Some jobs are just that bad. Get a trailer too, good luck.
Love the videos! I will give you a little nugget of advice. Take a vacation! I suggest a week, but even if it’s a long weekend away.

awesome, you can do this and have other people work for you
I was thinking about that, just be the driver..lol and help with no to heavy stuff. :)
Hi how you think to start in uk, with pickup or a van better?
What a GREAT video HARD WORK payed OFF. So Glad your Channel was referred by Reyes. Thanks so muchhhhh. Keep up the god work
lol that go daddy website costs me 200 dollars a year and I have never got a single call from it. dont know why.
Give me you website link and I’ll look at it
and thanks
Do you guys answer your on phone calls or do you use an answering service? And if you do answer your own calls how do you do that while driving the truck or doing a junk removal job?
Matt answers the phone whenever possible, we do not use an answering service.
When you pickup from property managers or businesses do you bill them or do they typically pay you that day. Thanks for all your content! Love the video's!
How did u pay your apartment? U said that u safe all the money?
when matt first started junk removal he had another job, he saved all his money from junk removal and just reinvested back into the business
Do you guys only do regular residential house call jobs or do you guys get work from property managers that run apartment complexes as well ??
One of the jobs in the video was a property manager. So yes we do those also.
I am a nurse. I have been looking at side businesses. I want to get me a few dump trailers to make some extra cash on the side. Great videos as always
Good luck to you
As usual...🔥🔥🔥 with the knowledge!
Thank you

@@SonomaStrong yes that is the most prudent approach. That would be a great video BTW "what makes an area good for Junk Removal"
Appreciate all the content you guys put out.
Pay off your truck and be 100% debt free. You know you'll stack that cash right back up.
Great advice. Going into debt to start a business is very dumb!
Agree
Did you have a set amount you wanted to make or had to make for how many months before you decided to quit your full time job? I have been doing junk removal for 2 months now. I want to be able to make 2X what I make than my full time job monthly for 6 months consecutively before I decide to go full time.
Wanted to make an extra 2,000 a month, then it went up from there. We answer some of these in the video. Good luck to you. Thanks for watching

But you still go back out and try again. Sooner or later I'll catch a big fish with them.
when did you guys get your business liscense/dot and actually make it official?
This video talks about that th-cam.com/video/KScnMwrzHB4/w-d-xo.html
Damn bro that's what's up. I left my union construction job to do this too.
Awesome
Hell I work for Kroger they own Mariano's the food store I work i used to cut grass before we lost are house
I use to drive for waste management but never made that kind of money lol Do you guys just go to transfer stations instead of landfills ?
what kind of MPG are you getting from your NPR dump setup? also, thanks for putting out great junk removal content, you've got me wanting to start up my own operation out here in southern california.
Thanks for watching it gets About 12

After the job
Another great video. Would love to hear what Jojo was doing before Sonoma Strong. Did she do junk removal, reselling, marketing, something else related to your business?
With the size of Matt's head, if a fly lands on it does it have to achieve orbit before it can fly away?

Ok thanks for letting me know, I’ll go fix it right now.
Thanks for the great information. I’m saving now for a utility or dump trailer. I have savings but I’m going to add to business with earned money only. Spring is coming so that’ll help
Spring is good money
