Been watching your videos about a month now. And ive started my own excavator land clearing on the side. And as of this friday. It will be my last day at my full time job, cause of the high demand of land clearing and stuff. I cant operate both. But your videos have helped me out. So thank you and keep the videos coming

I work for a water well drilling/service company monday-friday 10+ hours a day and work for myself Saturday and Sunday from daylight til dark. I do shop welding, handyman, and tractor work. I just bought a john deere 3025e with a loader bucket, box blade, and bush hog with a 7x18ft dove tail trailer and with 2 clients I've made over $3000 in 2 weekends. I need to get more clients so I can work for myself full time

I am retired from being an industrial mechanic for over 40 years and wanted to start doing gravel driveways and general tractor work. I purchased a l3902 Kubota and I don’t have a truck to haul it around so I just drive around looking for jobs that can be done and I’m finding that people are willing to have you do some other jobs while you’re there. I just wanted to let you follower’s that you can make a lot of money just driving around looking for work thank you for your channel you bring up a lot of great content and I have even learned a few things from watching. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks be safe. RR

The smaller jobs generally have a higher profit margin and once you start taking on medium to large sized jobs then you start competing against big companies that are harder to compete with because they own their own gravel pits and can shave their prices lower.

You ain’t lying when you said you got to suck it up , I’ve only worked for big companies running bigger equipment, but I’m starting to feel that urge that I want to work on my own but you have to start at the bottom. Before I start out i at least want to have me a skid steer. Right now mainly tearing down bridges then getting base setup for the new bridge or making a detour if we can’t shut it down, then come back in but just to sum it up .and match the gravel and asphalt. Lot more to it and I do like traveling right now but I see myself in the future coming back home but get as much experience as I can.

"Cheerios in a Bowl" haha. If you don't mind I'm going to use this one. I always explain to customers that putting gravel in a hole will not last. You have to break up the original bed, and the potholes, so when new material is added, it all packs together. In Minnesota its called Class Five Gravel. Sand, stone and clay. Tailgate it out, drive on in and after a couple of rains, it's hard as blacktop. My box blade ($700) has paid for it's self many times over. Thanks for the video. Russ.

The old philosopher strikes again! Besides being an excellent contractor, you are an excellent teacher, explains the business in simple-to-understand language and a lot of common sense. You are so correct when you talk about making a profit with a pickup, a couple of bags of gravel, a shovel, and most of all - a positive can-do attitude, which you have in abundance. Best of all you emphasize the point that success doesn’t come instantly. You have start at the beginning and work your way up the business ladder, and before you can land the big jobs you have to land the small jobs. Sounds simplistic, but you’d be surprised how many people ignore this sound advice and end up cutting their own fiscal throats. Want to be a success? Then listen to this man. He’s offering you FREE advice, probably the only time in your business life you’ll get something substantial for free. Listen and learn. A small investment in time can pay big dividends.

Great content and information! I am actually biding my first gravel driveway repair outside of friends and family this upcoming weekend. I've watched your videos on the subject a few times and they have been very helpful! Thanks, brother!

I live right across the mtn here in tn, and there's no way I would pay, nor do I know anybody that would pay any where close to 450 for someone to drive a car in, whip out a couple 5 gallon buckets and fill a pot hole, or even several potholes. You would be very lucky to make 250 on an entire drive way WITH equipment, excluding material cost...

Good video for someone thinking about going this route. Would of been nice to hear 10 years ago but, the time is now. Thinking of starting a channel about my journey when I pick up my machine next year.

One thing Ive always wanted from a young age, is to be my own boss. I figured excavation would be a good way to go about that. I just turned 20 about 2 weeks ago, I’ve been a construction laborer for going on 2 years now making $32 an hour. I’m not the happiest with what I do for a living, seemingly how I went to welding school. I got into the laborers union because it pays more than what a welder with 3 years experience in my area. Anyway, this video has gave me a tremendous amount of confidence in being able to be my own boss. One question I’ve got is, when I first start out. Should I pull the trigger on getting an LLC, and insurance and things like that if I’m just starting out doing driveways, or small simple things like that? Retaining walls, small things of that nature? Or should I wait until things grow a little bit?
