Getting PAID for HAULING JOBS! (EP 40)

[@MissionSideHustle]

Just for transparency sake, I still have some things to figure out if I'm going to continue any moving jobs. The great part about youtube is that many of you are happy to help give me tips when needed. I've learned I need to line up some specific insurances and business fillings outside of just the LLC I have created in order to operate legally, which is a given! Once this gets done, I'll be sure to include that in a future episode. You all are the best! 🤘

[@BrokePremiere]

I just wrote a long reply to your reply on my comment. Lol. Just wanted to make sure you get a chance to read it.

[@iwanttoboxing]

What insurances and buisness filing were they ?

[@stronger-realestate]

I love these videos! You have an awesome channel. Here's some tips since I started and ran a Junk Removal Company (before Covid happened): 1) Get insurance ASAP! Larger companies that pay more and need junk removed will not hire you unless you show proof of insurance 2) Bring a sawzall, sledge hammer, circular saw, and as many tools as you think you'll need for any job (they come in handy for larger furniture, hot tubs, etc.). Get a tool box for your truck. 3) Hydraulic dump trailers are worth every penny, you'll have an amazing ROI and get your money back in less than a year. They're pricey but your jobs and dump runs are x10 faster, meaning more jobs you can get done in a day. 4) Don't rent your trailer out. Some people will want it to save them money and the convenience for you to not load seems great, but my experience is that most people will throw items in there that are not accepted at landfills (paint, freon appliances, etc.) and you can get fined or may no longer be allowed to dump at that landfill. 5) Talk to Real Estate Agents! The majority of my jobs were from people that had moved and left junk at the house that needed to be hauled off before the new buyers came. They pay really well too. 6) Craigslist was the most effective marketing in my area. $5 post went a long ways and I just reposted about 2-3 times a week. 2nd best was Google. If you show up at the top and have good reviews, you'll be called all the time. 7) Take before and after pictures after every job! It's great for instagram and facebook but can help you in customer disputes as well. I had a customer try to claim that I didn't haul away everything they wanted in a burn pile (they had mattresses, furniture, etc.) and the negotiated deal was that I'd take everything except the wood. I took pictures before and after the job. They wanted me to come back, and when I did, they had added MORE junk to the burn pile. Turns out their neighbors wanted some free junk removed after I came by and they tried to SCAM me! But I had the pictures to prove it. Plus it was the Real Estate Agent that was covering for the job, it was a very bad situation and I called the agent and let them know. Cover your butt! 8) Give discounts for military and seniors and be willing to negotiate your price with customers for reviews when you first start (leverage lower prices with reviews!!!) 9) Have a set pricing system that you go by, do not post it on your website, and NEVER give quotes over the phone or through a picture message. They "magically" grow when you arrive and then it's hard to renegotiate the price. Keep your pricing system professional. It takes practice. You can go by the hour or go by the load volume. I had a 16ft trailer so it was easy to judge and price. Some people add fees for freon items, etc., that's up to you. 10) Post every picture you have on all of your platforms. The more the better! Videos are awesome too! 11) Don't accept help from 3rd party companies like Yelp, etc. They'll bring you poor leads and you still have to pay them. I hope this helps you out! I loved junk removal because of the huge profit margins, but I got burnt out and Covid was the final nail in the coffin. I learned so much from stepping out and trying it, I don't regret doing it one bit. It's opened a lot of doors for me and I'm better because of it. Hope this works well for you!

I think because I flip as well. I genuinely can’t wait for you to pop a episode out. Always cool to see what margins you are getting. Makes me question cars lol.

[@MissionSideHustle]

Ha thanks so much man. If I'm honest, cars scare me for flipping. I just don't know enough of what could go wrong or is wrong. But I know exactly what a bad stain looks like on a couch and how to get it out 😂

[@BrokePremiere]

@@MissionSideHustle lol good call! Lol hey man, I just had a thought. Think it might make a cool quick bit. If I’m right, it seems like you’re trying to show people how to start broke and go to a million. Essentially business education made easy. If I’m right in that, I think it’d be a cool lit bit for you to explain ROI between moving and maybe the flipping. I imagine, the overall hour return on flipping has been way more profitable then say the hourly on moving. Although moving can be more consistent. Again a cool bit to explain “yes when flips work they’re great, but if I need constant income, moving works even if it pays less.” I hope this makes sense I’m sure you understand where I’m getting at. Just thought it might be an of interest to you. Anyhow, loving the content man. I still got your email, haven’t meant to ignore. Just been trying to think of a way to make it a fun video between us. All the best!

[@MissionSideHustle]

@@BrokePremiere All good man! Thats a great idea. I've ever so slightly touched on it when I compared the passivity of flipping vs the grind of hauling. It was like a 20 second clip max so I definitely should talk about it with more length 👍

[@BrokePremiere]

@@MissionSideHustle ahhh gotcha, I’m sure I saw it and just spaced. My bad man.

[@BaptistJoshua]

Do you still have your business? Do you have any advice? I thought to get a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V for the reported reliability, good m.p.g., and being 5 seats. For bigger loads, I could use a trailer. Or should I go with a truck, and if so, why, specifically?

[@roadlesstraveled7767]

You should do a video on how you go about your taxes in your new LLC since tax season is upon us and people are probably curious!

[@Elite_Employee]

Jesus Christ whey are so many people pressed about taxes? The type of people that interested in this are the ones who do all the research and never take any action because they want to enter in the hustle with perfection rather than just putting in the blood sweat and tears first.

[@richardr7947]

All the miles he put on his truck is a tax write off. Truck insurance tax write off. If he stop to have lunch tax write off. Anything you buy for the business is a tax write off. I am self employed and at the end of the year my taxes not bad with all my write offs.

I moved from Florida to be closer to family and I miss it. There is so much work and so much money to be maid. I worked at a moving company called white glove moving storage and delivery and use to get furniture from customers all the time. I would flip and I would cut grass on the side also. I would find so many side jobs on Craigslist. Type in your location or closest big city you are willing to drive to and go to gigs (all jobs) could find small moving jobs. Load/unload trucks. So easy! God bless you my man 🙏 you business will grow! Thanks for all the great tips. Needless to say I miss Florida lol. But I started a lawn care business in the state I moved to. I also work for a local company and make great tips

[@JyB818]

For your truck and other owned equipment that you're counting as an asset, you should be amortizing those items over their expected lifespan to devalue them each month.

[@oLoGoS]

[@acoustictreatmentservices9926]

You are right in that when you are first starting out you have to break the “rules” a little bit. I used to advertise on Craigslist in the wrong category for example. Another one is that It was years until I had a general contractor license. I did get insurance early but there was almost a year in the beginning where I had no insurance or even an LLC. They make it very hard for someone starting out to get ahead in business. It’s why the middle class is dying. So rock on and keep doing what you are doing until problems arrive. Then you simply fix them as they come with the proper insurances, etc.

[@Drew_Warner]

Do you have the decal on the side of your truck for the moving business? When you were loading the second load, it looked like you were blocking the street, as you were backed up to the driveway, to make the loading easier for yourself. I'd think people who don't use your service, that were annoyed by you blocking the road, would write bad reviews. But it may have been a short period of time and not inconvenienced anyone... or it may have been at the end of a court or something.

If you had owned a bigger truck would that big job have had to rent a Uhaul trailer and would that money he spent on the Uhaul been added to your bid? When they mentioned washer and dryer did you specifically ask if you had to install/hook them up? What do you think was the main reason he hired you? He could have rented a truck or towed the trailer and done it himself? If you keep records of why people hire yopu you can target these type of moves specifically. Has the last 3 moves been because the man said he had a bad back, then maybe use that in your ad. "Save your back Use Mission" blah blah blah Great series Very Motivating

For the better part of 15 years I was running an expedited delivery business for a local company. Our pricing was based upon thirds. One third of the price was to cover the driver's pay, insurance, and taxes, another third went into operating expenses for the business (building, utilities, admin employees, etc), and the final third was to cover expenses of the vehicles such as fuel, tires, oil changes, brakes, etc. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you're looking to itemize your budget for the business.
