Hello from Clearwater FL 🙂

[@nick_o_glass]

👋 yo!!

[@REDDCCXXVII]

Thanks for all the great info. I started back in June and came across a video of yours and it's absolutely sped up the process. I completely stole your magnet idea 💯💯💯💯 Quick question if I may; what's the length of your rental time? I've seen a range of 4 hours, 8 hours and basically "let's negotiate." What seems to work best for you?

[@nick_o_glass]

That’s so awesome I love to hear that! Our rental default to six hours that’s what has worked the best in my opinion for us. That being said, we go out of our way to try and leave it overnight. Every single time number one it’s easier for us number two it’s a good value for them.

Great video, I’m in the idea and information gathering stage. One question I have is how do you pay your employees for someone starting out? Is it by the job, per hour, or profit splitting, etc. thanks!

[@nick_o_glass]

Thanks dude!! So I have tried it all and what I have landed on and like the most is hourly for drop off and pickups. That way long drives don’t kill their earnings or some crazy incident happens at a drop and all the sudden they make $2/hr (happens weekly no lie). Then for cleaning I pay by the unit. $15 a piece, GET AFTER IT! Some pay piece work for picks and drops too ($12.50 each for example) some pay hourly for cleaning. There’s no right answer. BUT I will say this. Don’t worry about that yet. Get your ass some slides and start getting dirty! You’re a while away from employees 💪🏼

[@VictorFernandez-dn5me]

[@michaelgarcia8947]

I am currently a tanker hazmat driver thinking of starting up my own business. I make 90k a year but after taxes child support health insurance and with inflation on the rise i need a second stream of income to offset this crazy world we are living in 😮

[@nick_o_glass]

One income used to support a family of 4, now it takes 4 incomes to support a couple. The best thing about owning a biz is inflation doesn’t really affect you. You raise your prices with inflation. Your company doesn’t raise your salary with inflation because they’re not making more money by raising prices.
