He started this because he wanted $20 to buy a gaming card and I told him he’s old enough to start earning $$$ so I taught him how to cut the grass and he loves the outdoor work . Great vid . Cheers

This resonated with me on so many levels dude. When the pandemic happened I lost my IT contracting job and had just bought a truck 6 months previous. I started a scrapping every appliance I could get, but instead of just scrapping for metal I sold the little parts and every time I pulled an appliance apart learned a little more about how they worked. then I started fixing them and selling them. Now I spend less time at the scrap yard and more time in my garage fixing them. Right now I have 2 dryers, 3 stoves and 2 refrigerators in my garage that I have for sale. I make almost the same amount of money I made contracting and I get to stay home with my kids.

Made almost $200 off the scrap alone. What I kept, a Stihl weed eater that needed a low cost repair, A set of wood louvered pantry doors, metal pieces I could integrate into my woodworking pieces, Usable scrap wood, two older model radial arm saws that work. Some of this stuff I sold. What helped, I have a full size truck with an 8 foot bed and the scrap yard is only five minutes away.

If you're being paid to haul something away, check to see if it's salvageable. If it is, quickly take some pics and throw it onto OfferUp, Craigslist, etc. Part of people wanting stuff is they don't have a truck to pick up the items they want. So you're getting paid to haul away one guy's stuff because you have a truck. Then you're getting paid to drop off the same thing because you have a truck.

I'm a retired contractor. I used 3 different guys to do hauling for me. Yes, I had my own trucks, but with these guys' help, I could do several jobs at one time. Dump trailers are very useful for concrete removal. My skid steer had some trouble loading larger high sided dump trucks, so the dump trailers were the ticket for smaller jobs. Most of the haulers I've used worked up to a 5-yard dump truck in addition to their pickup and dump trailer. Small residential jobs don't need a big rig to haul away dirt or old concrete. A small dump trailer or dump truck is easier to maneuver around a household site and keeps the road open. One guy I used drove a school bus morning and late afternoon. The time he had between bus driving he would haul sand, gravel, topsoil, and mulch for small contractors. Gravel pits and landscape supply companies are always looking for guys to haul small loads to homeowners and contractors. Roofers use dumpsters for shingle tear-offs but, sometimes the timing of dumpster deliveries can slow down a job. If the roofer has your card in his truck and he can't get a dumpster, he will be calling you. Be ready and get your ass out of bed.

I work with a lot of veterans and am very thankful for what you guys do. Regarding education.

It's not meant to be an insult... it's more a knock on college education. I think there are only about 3 college degree categories that are worth getting, and I'm guessing you didn't get one of those degrees. I have an engineering degree and hit 6 figures after 7.5 years post-college. And that's not me bragging. It is due to getting a degree that employers value highly (rightly or wrongly) and I work harder than 90% of my coworkers. If you're like most veterans I know, you're an extremely hard worker, so that tells me you got a degree that employers don't value very highly (rightly or wrongly).

@@ibealion1 I said 40k starting for one. I also had the intent of going to law school but things didn't pan out right. I started as an engineer and liked it for the most part but couldn't see myself happy doing that. I had classmates that had to get a masters in engineering though, before getting a decent salary. I made 10k in one month selling roofs so ideally, I should look to going back to that. Nursing, engineering, etc are all great degrees but even those fields are getting packed nowadays. The education system shouldn't preach every degree means you'll earn 70, 80, 90k and so on but if someone has a true passion for teaching disabled kids for only 50k a year, their education shouldn't cost them three times as much. Even degrees such as engineering are flawed. You waste so much time on other aspects that it takes longer to finish and more money without the guarantee of a decent salary. In final, I didn't pick the wrong degree and I was just stating originally a young lad and his pickup made a good amount of money with no formal eduation.

The main thing is learning to identify non-ferrous metals: copper, red brass, yellow brass, zinc/pot metal, aluminum, and non-magnetic stainless. Non magnetic has a higher nickel content, and is worth more. A magnet is a scrappers best friend. Some things look like copper or brass, but arent. A file is useful to scrape the surface and see what's underneath. The big thing is this: picking up junk is easy; CLEANING it is tedious, hard work. That brass faucet may have zinc handles and steel screws. The brass is worth more clean. Same with aluminum. Most aluminum things have steel attached or embedded. You need an angle grinder, sawzall, pliers, or BFH to cut/break the steel out. Clean aluminum is worth 3 times as much as dirty. But cleaning metals takes 3 times as long as pickin it up. Right now, scrap prices are terrible, and have been for 18 months. I havent hauled a single truckload in the past year.

@@philloso1426 There are many more metals and objects with scrap value, I just gave ya the basics. Electric motors, transformers, lighting ballasts, car batteries, brass car radiators (aluminum ones, far less), insulated copper wire, i.e. extension cords, coils from old stovetops (aka refinery nickel), computer circuit boards, lead, and more. There's also many kinds of aluminum, and the big yards pay more if they are seperated: sheet, cast, and extruded are the main ones, plus cans.

My nephew tried this in Winfield, KS. Locals started calling police and saying he was "harassing" them. Next thing, local PD showed up at his door and asked why he was "harassing" the locals. He told them he was only trying to help them and generate some income at the same time. Police came to his house numerous times. He has since told Winfield PD to get off his property if they do not have a warrant and/or probable cause to be there. Be careful, some small towns are chock full of idiots.

Think about liability. There are people who will claim you damaged or scratched their item, or damaged their property. There is also the possibility of actually damaging something you are hauling. Also consider any tax liabilities you incur. Most insurance companies will refuse to cover any damages from accidents you have while out making a buck with your vehicle, they will insist you buy commercial liability insurance up front before you even start.

Many moons ago, my brother used to work for a mobile car detailing company down in Florida. I think they had 6 vans for going out and detailing. With todays more modern technology, you could have a generator to run your buffers, water pump, decent sized water tanks to allow you to clean a few cars before having to re-fill. I saw guys doing it in Las Vegas. They'd go to a business and talk to the receptionist telling her they'd there in the parking lot for a couple of hours and to ask if anyone needed their cars detailed. They towed around huge water tanks on trailers along with their pups and generators.

Only time I had any slight problems was in Texas in rush hour traffic, the heat and all the stopping and going the Transmission didn't like it so small upgrade there N she'd be set and that's only needed if hauling that much weight. edit I knew about this already. Shipping wars made it more of a realization. But always knew people hauled shit around just thought there was alot of steps to get into it.
