Day In The Life Of Running A Small Junk Removal Business | Everyone Is Hungry For Work!

This might be the worst time to start a business. The only reason I made any money today is because of previous repeat clients. If you plan on stating any business in today's market, try to use very little to no debt if you want to survive. There are people out there killing the market working for pennies on the dollar.
Thank you for watching & hitting the 👍 button 💙
If you don't have a trailer aid get one! they make the job so much easier :) amzn.to/3wbtrbz
This is where I buy my yard sings 👇

Starting a business is tough, I opened my restaurant in 2020 and although we are doing good I’ve had lots of friends not make it with their businesses because the time we are in is not the best especially here in California. I started my junk removal business to make some extra money and I’m able to give all my restaurant customers my business card and have stayed busy every weekend for the past 1.5 years so I’m blessed but I know how it feels when you have lots of bills to pay.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Great story brother thank you for sharing! I started my junk hauling business while I was still doing appliance repair. I passed out business cards for a few months before I went full-time into Junk Removal, and it got me quite a bit of business!!!

[@AatakFearless]

yes sir having a business is tough i have a lawn service business and when i give out some quotes they expect us to do the work cheap when gas is over 6 per gallon here in Ca. they say can you do it for 20 and i just say no call the 20 guy.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Lmao, people are crazy. 20 bucks? come on now, we're not in middle school anymore fam 😂. Keep grinding brother! We will succeed 💪🙏

[@josuemontalvan6141]

I’m new to the channel, but I already watched all your videos. Congratulations on the new truck and new trailer. God bless you

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Dang brother thank!!! I really appreciate the love and support 🫡❤️🙏

[@ronniethompson8224]

You're absolutely right. I'm the owner.Of a junk removal best is in Miami, Florida, and it's been nothing but headaches with all the competitions and all the cheapest low bowlers.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yeah, the low ballers are definitely killing the junk removal business 🤷‍♂️

[@tractorworkandmore411]

You will be alright! Keep hustling! You already offer multiple services so that should keep you busy!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Gotta do it all to stay busy!

[@kh867]

Great video. Love the new trailer bro. Can’t wait for the next video!

Always like that you keep it real with us 💯

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir, I'm not with the BS 😂

[@darwindropmazda]

@@JackofHaulTrades nope not at all! Lol

[@jeffuhrig2881]

I just want to say, Thanks for being so honest and transparent with us. It helps a lot. I've just started getting my junk removal business going. I saved up to get going. But had no idea on how much things add up. From getting yard signs $800, shirts $200 , graphics for truck and trailer $4,000, trailer (non dump 16ft used) $3,000, truck to pull said trailer $18,000, I live in HOA neighborhood so commercial space for trailer and all other supplies $1200 a month+ deposit. I'm in east central Florida, Liberty Junk Removal Pros.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Hey brother! I'm glad you had savings to start 💪that is definitely the way you want to start a business like this. I think you will do very well! The costs add up extremely quick, and many don't realize that until they start. I wish you nothing but success 🙏🫡

[@krakenjunkremoval]

Good video and that is a nice trailer. Stay at it bossman! 💯

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Thank brother! 💪🫡

[@krakenjunkremoval]

That tire changing ramp is epic man! Keep it up you’ll stay busy, trust in God!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yeah, it's a great tool to have on the truck! It's all in his hands 🙏❤️

[@clutterreductionjunkremoval]

I will be getting the trailer aid asap! I've had to patch a few but nothing on the sides yet *fingers crossed*. But it's either carry a HD jack with me that can lift a full load if needed or this aid

[@JackofHaulTrades]

You should, man! It makes life so much easier when getting a flat tire 😂 I used to carry a big jack but this is much more convenient and light!

[@clutterreductionjunkremoval]

@@JackofHaulTrades definitely!

[@Allan_A]

That hydraulic lift is awesome! My favorite customer is the one who was going to load it in their truck. You get there and it's a full load 😂

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Haha right! And yes, this hydraulic jack is a total game changer. It's definitely something you didn't know you needed until you've tried it 😂

[@paulrockwood371]

You need a truck topper to cover your tools from the weather buddy. I've got a 100 gallon fuel tank under mine also that has a pump to fill the skidsteer and is also connected to the main truck tank with a shutoff valve. Nice to have all the tools out of the weather.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir I need to get one. I like the fuel tank idea a lot! I keep the battery tools inside the truck

[@FightingFishTv]

Keep grinding baby, cream always rises to the top

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir 💪 🫡

[@MowinWitMuhammad]

Nice tire change hack!!! His 250 was NOT ready for the day 😂😂

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Nah, definitely not that day 😂😂

[@MowinWitMuhammad]

I need to upgrade from my Tahoe FAST. I have a dump trailer just sitting cause it blew my F150 motor and I don’t think my Tahoe could handle it. May have just been a bad F150 motor though.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@@MowinWitMuhammad how big is the dump trailer?

[@MowinWitMuhammad]

Double axle … Like a 6x10. Small compared to the huge one you have!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@@MowinWitMuhammad yeah I don't think that size of a dump trailer would kill your f150. It might have been going out already 🤷‍♂️

[@Spiff178]

Gotta keep it real at all times! Money talks bs walks. I didn't come up with that, someone said it to me once 😂

All this time i thought i was subscribed but nope strange. Congratulations on the. New truck my dude .

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I'm glad KZbin pushed the video out to you anyway! I'm blessed to have you as a subscriber brother 🫡💪

[@rickalotto7598]

What if I told you that you don’t even need a ramp. You can just put a block of wood or concrete etc under the tail of the trailer. Then lift the cylinder and it will lift the tires off the ground for you. I only carry a jack in case I get a flat with heavy or full loads.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@rickalotto7598 Yessir! know that trick I've seen a few people do it. It's a good hack for greasing the trailer axles!

[@danclapper626]

Just found your channel, subbed. I've been doing trailer rental and junk removal for 4 years now. It is definitely getting harder in this economy. Liking the new trailer, Florida is too far from me to even be interested.

I’m diggin that new trailer! The only electric tarp I’ve seen out here in California on trailers are Diamond C. I’ve got a Pj at work with a regular pull tarp that is a pain. I’m just saying electric tarp, I’m thinking I’m a big fan!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I appreciate the support brother! Keep getting that money 💰 💪

[@justinsbulktrashremoval]

I think you're overthinking it my guy. You have a beautiful trailer & just need to get more accustomed to it. You kept mentioning it's just good for tree work, I disagree personally (no shade or disrespect). You can do alot with it (hauling, moving, junk removal, light demolition, etc.) Adding that extra foot will definitely make a difference. I love having 16' trailer two, when doing clean outs and big jobs. And as far as the bungee straps, either bolt on a few hooks where needed for the tarp or just use the pockets! Keep making great content 🤝

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I totally agree with you man. This trailer is definitely a beast and can be used for anything! Yeah the bungees aren't a problem, there are definitely many simple solutions out there. I appreciate all the support brother 🫡💪

[@LittleJunkers]

Dude! Don’t get discouraged by being underbid. You don’t want those customers. You want customers that value your time and your business. Mercedes sells a lot of cars, Shake Shack sells a lot of burgers, and the one thing each has in common is the customer they target. Figure out what in your marketing is bringing price shoppers, and change that thing. Your customers should not want to do business with a company that would illegally dump their trash! Keep hustling and posting great content!!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Hey brother! Thank you for the encouraging words. I hope buissness is going well for you 🙏

[@LittleJunkers]

@@JackofHaulTrades spent the weekend running back and forth to Carlton GA picking up new dumpsters. Recorded and posted a couple shorts to start content on the channel. Just trying to rinse and repeat your model…lol.

[@LittleJunkers]

@@JackofHaulTrades thanks man! Means a lot!

[@Bushey4545]

I like those trailers its cool how its as easy to get them in red or green as it is in black, how much was it though, i checked their website and no prices you said yours is 16ft? How much does it hold? It seems like they come in three options on how much they carry

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yes, these trailers are awesome! Mine is 16ft and is rated for 16k pounds. Give them a call, The dealer is called Top Shelf Trailers in Yulle, Florida. They can build you any trailer, just tell them what you want and they will give you the price. They also stock tons of Trailers 7×14×4 is the most common they go for around $10,000. Don't forget to ask for the Jack of Haul Trades discount!

[@Bushey4545]

@@JackofHaulTrades I definitely will do that, I'm getting one in red, for junk removal so I'll go 4ft high instead of 3ft how much if you don't mind me asking will this discount be for? Is it like 5 percent or 10 percent, I guess at 10 grand 10 percent would probably be more than they'll be looking to do hahaha

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@Bushey4545 I'm not sure exactly, but I know some people have gotten a free spare tire and stuff! Anything is better than nothing :) Red is a beautiful color!!!

[@VictormarceloAguileraver-yq7ls]

Where did you buy that yellow accessory to raise the trailer and change the tire?

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Amazon sells them! I have the link in the description for it brother

[@rickalotto7598]

Are you renting out your trailers for other people to pull? That’s what it seemed like on that segment with the tire change.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir I do. But only to people I trust

[@rickalotto7598]

I don’t trust anybody that much lol. I’ve got one construction friend I’ll let move it around a yard occasionally. My insurance wouldn’t cover it if he got in an accident. And his wouldn’t either.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@rickalotto7598 Yep, it's a risky business brother. That's why I only rent it to people that will pay me without the insurance if something happens, but it's still a risk...

[@eduardoh4212]

Hey bro I’ve been saving my coins to start this business. Only thing i have questions about is how do you get your first few jobs and market yourself

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Hey brother! I wish you nothing but success💪... I have a video on the channel of how I advertise for free. I would say Facebook would be your best bet! I also share many tips in other videos. If you have free time, watch them it will help you learn a bit!

[@alexvillanueva8485]

What is that yellow mini ramp you used for the tire swap? Try celcius its better than red bull no crash afterwards. Nice video

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I need to try Celsius! What's your favorite flavor? This is the link for it! They are super affordable - amzn.to/3wbtrbz

@JackofHaulTrades sparkling watermelon or non carb watermelon and beery mix. They sell them in powder form as well to add to a bottle of water check your local big chain stores for those individual boxes.

Andre, what do you charge to rent your trailers?

@MrC867 Typically $325 and the includes up to 3 days and 2 tons in disposal costs. If they need it for longer than 3 days, I charge an extra $25 per day. I also charge extra per mattresses and tires if they have any

You should be doing pictures estimating! By Time you drive, miles on the truck, gas, your personal time etc. it kills profits

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Thank you for the tip sir. I tried picture estimates. Customers just shop around for the cheapest bid, not worth it for me. I make much more money bidding them in person, because it always you to connect on a personal level with the customer! I only do picture estimates on small small jobs
