[@MAXCODumpsters]

Thank you for everyone who tuned into the premiere! We hope we did a good job expressing the things we love.... and the things that we don't about our Texas Pride: Reeving Roll off trailer! What would you like us to have done differently? Any questions about it we didn't answer?

[@samedaydumpster]

This is the best dumpster trailer review on KZbin. Well done and high quality video Joe.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

It means a lot to hear that from you John! I’m just trying to improve the industry and keep it 100% honest with the community. I hope more can get some value from it as well! 💪

[@benmorris6831]

Very informative. Thank you for the in depth review.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Hope it helps you Ben!

[@justinwasil11]

Killer video bro spot on on your information! Very detailed very clean video.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Appreciate it! Happy it helped.

[@JWheeler331]

Been watching a lot of your videos lately and just want to say thanks for putting yourself and experiences out there for all of us to see

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Thanks JWheeler! It’s not always easy to put it all out there, but I’m grateful to give people the opportunity to learn through my experiences. I got a lot of value from a few KZbinrs when I started and I love bringing it full circle for someone else.

[@kingZeuz]

Thanks for the video and great advice and input

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Hope it serves you well!

[@goathunter2007]

Great video! keep an eye on the rear axle leaf spring mounts. There’s a plate welded in the leaf spring hanger that the leafspring rides on to set ride height . overtime that plate will fail, causing your axle to ride on the frame.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll keep an eye out.

[@DashAwayHauling]

Great video Joe! I’ve been fully operational since October 2023 with the TP 16k proprietary rail system. Let’s see what my year brings me. I’ve had some hiccups, but nothing a phone call to TP fixed. Their support so far with me has been outstanding.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

The good thing about 47” TPride rails is a LOT of trailer guys run them. Easy to buy/sell when you need to. You’ll want to consider preparing for 36” eventually if you want to end up in a hooklift truck, but if that’s not important to you the 47” rails are a great long term option. Just something to consider before you hit a real stride and grow your inventory very large.

[@gunnerranch]

What a great review video! Thank you.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Hope it helps!

[@gunnerranch]

@MAXCODumpsters thanks bud. Welll.... Def made me want to buy this set up haha. Mind if I dm you and ask a few questions. If so how do I get ahold of you?

[@whitestrashdumspters]

I have a 14' TP 18k derated to 16k reeving bumper pull, and I agree completely with your assessments. When the TP salesman was showing me how to use it at their shop, a hydraulic line blew and sent a geyser of fluid everywhere. A few hours later it was fixed and I was on my way back to FL. At a rest area in LA I noticed the d-ring on the cable was gone. It had been hooked snugly on a rail when I left. They shipped me a new cable. Both bed lift rams leaked fluid, so they shipped me new ones. The brackets around those rails snagged on the dumpsters and bent over. I had to cut those off. TP sent me new ones. The auto tarper arms sit crooked like yours, and the canvas unrolls as I drive. I had to bungee it for the ride home to FL. They do stand behind their products, but all of this could have been avoided if their QC team had tested the trailer with a loaded can before delivery. If that d-ring had fallen off while I was loading or unloading a can at a job, someone could have been killed. My big gripe with the design is the location of the spare. It is located on the mast, above the pump and will be a backbreaking MF'r to pull down when I need it. The tool box lids are crap and not water or dirt tight. The tarper battery is smack in the middle of one box and is in the way of everything and the location exposes the wires to snags. All in all, its a solid trailer now that all the QC issues were resolved.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Every person I know has their own version of poor quality control and great support after the fact. They’d make so much more money if they just did the stuff right the first time. It’s an odd process in my opinion, but it seems that’s the route they’re content on. Thanks for sharing your experience and I hope your trailer works out well for you from here!

[@Rwhite8278]

I saw in another video that you are interested in evolution welding dumpsters. Those things are built like tanks, and their customer service is phenomenal. They actually helped me with an issue on my TP trailer with the cable length when I came to pick my dumpsters up. They went above and beyond to help me when they did not have to. Their sales staff is very friendly, responsive, and will most definitely get you taken care of.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

@@Rwhite8278 Thanks for your input Rwhite! I already know Yunior and have had multiple of my friends in the area purchase dumpsters from them. They make a great product for a great price. 💪

[@danielthedumpsterhelper]

Incredibly detailed review video! So much effort and time had to be put into this. I agreed with your remarks from what I see and thought you were balanced in your scoring. Just wondering, when is that sponsorship coming…? Texas Pride just got a lot more business because of you. They would be foolish to not invest in someone of integrity like you.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

I appreciate the kind words Dan! Im just trying to improve the industry and I simply do it for the community. They’re welcome to reach out to me though. 🤘

[@BentIronBins]

Good job no trailer or truck is perfect there’s always nagging problems but the 20,000 extra bucks will buy you 3 more bins so as long as it’s tough enough to keep making you money then it’s a 👍 up.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

I agree completely. 👍 if you can buy 2 pretty good trailers for the price of 1 very good trailer, it’s basically a no brainer.

[@andrewkolarek4551]

Love this video, great job Joe, and love the honesty. 👍

[@MAXCODumpsters]

I may not always be right, but I’ll always do my best to be honest! Thanks for taking your time to watch Andrew!

ONce again great content as usual brother. Keep em coming! Can't wait to see what year 2 brings

Thank you as always! I appreciate you tuning in even though you’ve bypassed the trailers and gone to the major leagues and got a hook. 💪

@@MAXCODumpsters I'll call it the major leagues when I start getting some work! Fingers crossed!

Wow man great freaking video. Keep up the work! You sold me on the Shocker hitch lol

To protect your solar panel, put a coat of wax on it, so the sun does not tarnish it similar to plastic headlights

[@MAXCODumpsters]

How odd. You’d think a solar panel would be built to withstand the sun. 😅

So you want him to put a uv blocking product over top of a uv absorbing device 😂

Appreciate the kind words Vil! Thanks for checking out the channel. Hope it brings you great value.

[@ronbrown2119]

I have a TP gooseneck 18k coming in a month. What model number did you get for the shocker hitch did you order so it is here when my TP rolloff trailer arrives. Like you I got the TP trailers but ordered dumpsters from Keystone. Love your channel btw.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Great move! Keystone is a great manufacturer. With T Pride and Shocker you need to ask your sales person if you’re going to receive a straight pin or angled pin gooseneck. They sent me an angled pin unit, but I’d hate for you to get the wrong one.

[@FrankKriticos]

Nice video. Wait until you get a hooklift. You’ll be amazed on how much more efficient it is

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Excited for the day! Thanks for tuning in Frank. Do you run a hook lift yourself?

[@FrankKriticos]

@@MAXCODumpsters I do. Started off with a Bison gooseneck and 3 bins 16 months ago. Now i run a Freightliner M2 and 30 bins. 2023 was my first full year and did 975 rentals. My wife does the sales/admin and i drive. I have a lot to say about the transition from a trailer to a truck. Heck, i have a lot to say about the entire biz being that i came from the financial space in an office for 20 years. I think the more rural areas are fine with a truck/trailer, however, in the more metro locations a truck will make you more money. Sure, it's pricey but the efficiency and the presence will make you more money. People judge, it's human nature. Once that is understood then you can capitalize on it. Oh, and i'll never ever offer online booking on my website. Very unpopular position that i have! haha. Keep the vid's going!

[@MAXCODumpsters]

@@FrankKriticos I can definitely understand the “no online booking” side of things. I do think it’s the future of the industry, but there’s a lot of challenges that come with it. You’re clearly doing alright without it though! Keep it up. 💪💪💪

[@kdc3345]

Gotta say, very glad I found my Pro-Tainer. Was leaning towards TP for the reasons you did, but the PT option presented itself. The PT is a beast. One big difference I noticed are TP's hydraulic cylinders. They use smaller, tie-rod cylinders which I'm not a fan of. The uncovered engine on top isn't a great thing either, not sure why they couldn't cover it.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

You got the ProRoll I take it? I’ve only seen the Geneva which I’m not a huge fan of, but I’ve heard great things about the reeving unit version.

[@kdc3345]

⁠@@MAXCODumpstersYup, ProRoll. Have not heard the greatest things about the Geneva.

[@Dirtydawgdumpsters]

Great video. I got mine in September 2023. I had the same problems with paint quality and grease zerks. One thing I would change though in the tarp being 1’ wider. I have to bungee it down sometimes to keep stuff from blowing out.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Good call Kip! I also forgot to mention the toolbox/dumpster foots blocking issue. Such a weird design.

[@Dirtydawgdumpsters]

@@MAXCODumpsters yes the boxes are a strange design. I would love to figure out a spot to mount a toolbox somewhere. It’s like you said, it’s all little stuff.

[@MAXCODumpsters]

@@Dirtydawgdumpsters I hope it holds up well for you! Thanks for contributing to the video. 💪

[@jhendrix350]

What’s your opinion on taking the gas tank off and going with a boat gas tank in the bed of the truck with a fuel line ran up to your motor

[@MAXCODumpsters]

The idea of running a fuel line from the truck to the trailer sounds a bit sketchy, but I couldn’t really say. I’d be concerned about it getting pinched and breaking. I’m 6’ 2” and young enough that climbing around the truck bed isn’t really a problem for me. If your concerned about refuel, id probably go the route of keeping a 5 gallon fuel can and a step stool next to where I park it, and refuel every morning/night.

[@lightweightdebrisremoval]

I have 14 feet dumpsters. I want the 24/26K dually tandem trailer. Quick question can I put a flip up stopper up front to keep the dumpster back 2 feet?

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Mine have stops for 12/14/16’ I believe the dual tandem does as well!

[@eltrokerocowboychon3334]

Bro just curious how much did you pay for the 6 containers and the trailer, Im trying to get myself a bumper pull with the same specs of yours thanks for sharing your thoughts such a good move 👍

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Right around $60k for everything. Depending on where you’re located you should be able to find well made dumpsters from a fabrication shop for $4/6k

[@erinmcconnell5399]

@maxcodumpsters -- what is the brand of hanging gas can on your trailer?

[@MAXCODumpsters]

RotoPax for both the can and the mount. I got them off Amazon. 💪

[@elcholomovil]

28k for just the trailer or including the containers?

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Just the trailer. The reeving and standard rail upgrades add about $7k to the price.
