How to make money with a dump trailer | Be your own boss tips

[@reloaded1880]

Bro I respect this video because much people wont take the time to tell someone how to make money out there because of greed. You were really specific thanks bro.

[@nicksgreenthumb905]

My landscaping business was failing and I we just bought a dump trailer so we started selling delivered landscape materials mulch soil stone and I have been making over $1,000 a day with it after expenses only 9 hrs a day to I never made that much mowing lawns we are no longer doing landscaping or mowing we have switched the business over to a landscape supply yard

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Leveling up 👍🏼👌🏼

[@koctan8561]

Any tips brotha ? I’m 23 and I really want to get somewhere in life I work hard labor everyday and save but I don’t no how to safely invest my money

[@nicksgreenthumb905]

Kocta N If your interested in starting a business don’t start with debt I did and from 18 years old when I started to almost 30 I was on the hamster wheel of debt also value your time because no one will if you don’t find something to do that’s in high demand that no one does in my case the market was saturated w landscapers which drove down prices to the point of me almost going out of business so I figured there was 3 landscape suppliers in my area so I figured I would sell supplies to them I made enough money in a month to start a bulk materials yard and it has been a better success than I could of ever dreamed of good luck to you and you are already on the right track with wanting to invest your money instead of pissing it away

[@vicjunkremovalsolutions3873]

Nicks green thumb where are located I’m in Dallas, Texas and the business you started sounds good in my head I’d like to start that too

I work in my city's public works department and make pretty decent money and amazing benefits. Working here outside of street maintenance they trained me for my CDL and I do a lot of Hauling, rock,salt,dirt,garbage etc...I seen a lot of people at the landfill with dump trailers..and this brought me here. I enjoy driving and moving around town and meeting people. Seems like a good side income for me

Great info. I have the trailer and the equipment and truck. I do a little on the weekends but some day I want to do it full time. I am south of Houston. Take care and stay safe.

[@edsmith4414]

One caution: IF your landfill/dump is like ours, they make you drive out over a few hundred yards of stuff other folks have dumped to dump your load. Problem with that is you drive over 10 zillion things that tires don't like...such as roofing nails/etc....dumped before you. I went to our dump a few times, got one or more flat tires each time. NOW I just pay for a construction dumpster off loaded on site.....cheaper than repairing/buying tires.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Always do, I have over 4 patches on each tire of truck and trailer. Some nails I don’t even remove if it’s not leaking. But it is what it is.

[@mohara5040]

Keep this up brodi. Been watching you for a while now. I live in the city so there's not much I can do with this information. But it's great knowledge.

Actually in the city there’s more construction work going on, that’s when you can get more calls and make more money

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Great choice 👍🏼

[@estegueydijo....]

I do hauling too here in California and sadly here with many regulations big companies are pushing small businesses out of work, plus since the 1800 got junk fever entered here now you can see many many junk haulers that turned the hauling business into a cheap service, the point you were talking about that you have to spend 200 on dumping and 300 profit sadly is a no no anymore for the same reasons.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Man same here in houston with the dumpster rentals, it’s hard for me to rent them out because people charge so cheap for them. I have set prices for my dumpster if they pay what I want I deliver if not they can stay in my yard not a problem to me

[@juanaraguz2382]

What do you mean can you give me more details I'm going to start something like that but I'm going to add more services into my business like haul small loads ..I have a 40ft flatbed gooseneck

[@qrsservices9576]

Good video bro I do hotshot as well moving skid steer sand Mini x been wanting to get a dump trailer also thanks

[@eddiereyna2998]

A long time ago I saw a KZbin video about using a dump trailer and back then I was doing lawn mowing n landscaping with a 1500 GMC . Then I saw about Hot Shot from a guy on KZbin with TP as his business name . He puts a lot of free information based on his success and failures . So , because of that I saved and had bought a 2500 Duramax 4x4 and I was planning on doing Hot Shot and then I saw how he later started to rent his truck from Enterprise and how later he bumped up from a single 2500 Ram to the F-3500 dually hauling a 40’ Gooseneck. Dude even shows his struggles and now he has several trailers and drivers . I guess I might switch gears since I bought a used truck cash and I’ve been fixing her up . I’m also learning the headaches of these newer Diesel trucks with fuel problems and having to use DEF . Well how’s the Hot Shot driving doing fer ya ?

[@genecoppedge5972]

[@eddiereyna2998]

What brand of trailer and what’s the axles rated at and what type are they ? Are they torsion or spring ? Oh and the hydraulic lift is it in the very front or in the middle or scissors ? From what I’ve read the front hydraulic lift is supposed to be the best . I noticed that ya loaded more to the back and that ya didn’t really add any towards the front . I use to work for a landscaping company and they used the Duramax way back in the day with Gooseneck trailers and we also would load our own materials in their yard and one of the trucks would haul the skid steer . Speaking of the steer , what yr make n model is it ? I was so used to Bobcats that when I went to work for this company they had John Deere if I’m correct and their steering was way difficult for me to get used to using but after working on a site where they were hauling 18 wheelers full of top soil aka human waste I got the hang of it . Wealthy folks were paying top dollar for our shit literally. Well , grab a lengua Taco.

[@kedricksmith8331]

Im 20 and thinking about going into this line of work hopefully start a business Any advice you can offer on how to get my first truck and trailer? I live in Louisiana btw

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Always have to start with a old truck lol, look on Craigslist for one, I started with a 2003 chevy 2500 6.0 gas. Had it for 2 years then upgraded to the ram, and trailer do payments

[@mikemartinsr5350]

Great content thanks

[@zackb5244]

Just curious, what’s your trucks gross combined weight rating?

[@henryholliday1]

that is my first thought as well as the without a cdl you can't have a trailer weight over 10,000 pounds which can happen real easy with heavy materials like firewood,concrete,demolition debris etc.

[@jeffersonmoctezuma3733]

I think its 26,000lbs in my state

[@zackb5244]

henry holliday correct, I’m curious because for my truck ( a 09 Gmc duramax 2500) the combined weight rating is 22,000 the truck is 9200 and with the smallest dumpster trailer I can find a (14k GVWR) would put me over the GCWR over 22,000 and I would be illegally overweight unless I de-rate a trailer. A lot of people think as long as you’re not over your “towing capacity” and you’re under the 26,000 required for CDL that they’re doing things right and that’s not the case.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Around 22/24k gross.

[@zackb5244]

Grtruckingdemolition probably puts you close then forsure! Either way I’m not here dictating, just curious how some of the other guys are pulling it off, keep doing what you do!

Do you get work still even if you don’t have a skid steer ? What do you do in that case if there’s a job that requires one or would you ask them if they have something to load you up with say if they want to load you with gravel or something like that.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Yes most jobs when it haul off they have how to load it or I give them a price if I have to load by hand. Most the time the workers load it

Say a customer pays for a 3 day rental, can they go and dump the trailer themselves or do you prohibit them from moving your trailer? Next question. Say they have a multiple day rental, they fill the trailer and need it dumped before their rental time is up, do you charge an additional fee how do you address that? Great channel, great content!

Oh no, nobody moves my trailer just me. By renting I mean. They can use it to throw whatever trash in it. And I haul it off. If they have the trailer ready before the 3 days I pick it up no additional cost
