Great content brada! I find that this pricing structure is 100% accurate. I get folks that say I’m the cheapest and last week I got a long term contracted that complained saying I’m too expensive. It was crazy they saying they been good too me and it’s messed up that I charge all kinds of fees. When I looked into it they were complaining that I charged all the extra days and overage tonnage they piled up. I think they are almost done with the job and now realizing how much other cost has been going up and taking it out on us. However, our service and pricing had stayed the same over the past year. In fact we took the off the $25 daily after 2 days and moved them to a $100 per week and included 1 week in the price saving the hundreds of dollars without them asking is to do that for them. We were just giving them the new price we are charging other newer contractors. Also these contractors are the ones that negotiated our price if saying they we’re going g to move all there other jobs to us but that never happens. So now we figured out that contractors that try and negotiate our prices don’t come through on their end so we don’t give an inch.

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Yea bro. You gotta be careful, sometimes these contractors will agree to anything without thinking just to get the dumpster on site, and then want to bit*h about price after the fact. Not happening. Pre-pay, sign my agreement or I don't roll. Appreciate the watch!

[@danahasson2892]

Great video Josh.. Like you said number one thing gotta do your own research and figure out your true cost of running. From your cost of labor, disposal fees, trucking costs and replacement , dumpster Depreciation and replacement, Administrative cost, marketing / advertising /branding /lead generation , overhead, etc.... There's a lot of factors to consider And the biggest one people forget is profit.

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Bingo!!!! Profit is the whole reason we do it!!

[@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602]

Hey Josh, have you thought about getting maybe 3 of the 14' hook flatbeds, where you can lift onto your hook trucks and use those to move equipment, I know some people can move vehicles/tractors, you can probably deliver sand, rock, turf, sod etc? Just another form to make money with and fill in those days where maybe all of your dumpsters are rented and you're still making money with those as well? Thanks, Brian

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Check out my recent posts, I have a flatbed I use to deliver materials to some of my flip job sites. Just delivered 16k pounds of fencing and a pallet of concrete a week or two ago. I don't really have time to offer it as a service to customers as my trucks usually stay busy delivering dumpsters but we will see how winter keeps 2 trucks running!

[@elcholomovil]

good stuff i just got my roll off with 4 dumpsters i use them for my company and rent the rest.. im already doing this with dump trailerss we ll see how it goes

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Best of luck!!

[@leviathen7240]

I am very appreciative of you making this video, as I am looking into getting into the business and you have given me some food for thought with some numbers I need to digest. Again thank you so very mush for this Video.

[@MatthewCoates-x7k]

Bro love the shirt have the same one lol.. would love to come get a beer and talk dumpsters with ya

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Much appreciated brother!

[@Dooeysdumpsters]

What brand of hook lift dumpsters do you use? Looking to open another branch and using your type of set up. Love your videos btw!

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

I buy my dumpsters from Keystone Waste out of Rhome TX! Best of the best!!!

[@jakekerr1189]

This is great information. I think my prices are probably a little lower than what you are but it seems like in my area I have way more them folks that are like I can hall it myself cheaper. Then again the big three in my area are over double with my prices are from about the same size dumpster or

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

I thought renting a wood chipper and cutting down all the overgrown brush at my flip house would be easy and save me money too, till I did it this past Sunday. 5 hours later we barely cleared out 1/5th of what was there. I should’ve gone with the pros who quoted me $4k. Moral is, people will always think they can do it cheaper and faster. It’s our job to explain to them why choosing us is a better option. Some will listen to reason.

[@charlesmutter7668]

Good info. I find I don’t have an issue running 10-20 touches a week but if I have a failure of some sort, it throws a wrench in everything. Which I know you know with your recent issues on the hino.

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Bingo!

[@Deapdoodoo]

I have so many questions, I have started a dumpster rental business and have 13 cans. Past month have only rented 2 dumpsters. I was looking for the link to speak with you.

[@supracelica33]

Hey Josh, great video with good information. One question, who are you working with that needs 15yds that you need to get more of those? I’m having trouble getting my 14yds out.

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

LOT'S of homeowners!

[@jeffhalla777]

Goal is to get 10 - 20 yarders. I have 6 at the moment. Day rates and week rates mainly. I’m pretty laid back about the time their out because I do work Powerlines during the day. I’m in south Texas but dam those dump fees are going up like crazy.

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

What would you say your revenue goal would be with those 10 dumpsters??

[@mikelopez4148]

Where did you buy your dumpsters j halla?

[@alejandrojuarez9355]

What are the most popular land fields you go too??? And names if you can please

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Google is your friend when it comes to landfills. Just depends on which one you like to go to more. Go to all of them and get a feel for wait times etc.

[@jamesnance8783]

Great info! Where do you get stickers for your dumpsters?

[@charlesmutter7668]

Hhh incorporated for me

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Local shop. Find one near you that you can work with regularly!

[@josevalero7399]

How much can I charge for 15 yard roll off dump trails per bin

[@Sal_jOe]

Hey man im in DFW as well and would love to help you out in exchange for you to mentor me and teach me how to start up my own, im 24 years young, I have a f350 I can be a hand. Thanks in advance.

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Whats up Joseph!! I really don't have time for mentoring, but I have a ton of free content out there. If you need to do a one-on-one consultation, check out this link. I also offer a ride a long for a day if you want. linktr.ee/AmericanAFDumpsters

[@cleancutslawnserviceoflall4687]

What do you use to count the days for a box that been sitting on a long time project we invoice finding it hard to keep up with them

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Software!! Dumpster Rental Systems or Your Docket!

[@andrespantoja1003]

How much do you charge for monthly services having a hard time trying to figuring it out

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

I don't. I just don't have enough dumpsters for someone to sit on one for a whole month. However, if someone wants to, they will pay my weekly rate and then pay a daily rate for however long they want it for. So for instance, someone wants my 20 yard, it's $420 for the week plus tax, includes 7 days and 2 tons. After that, the daily rate is $20/day.

[@andrespantoja1003]

Okay thank you. Yeah I have this one customer that wants one for a monthly rental so im trying to see what I can charge them.

[@ac2jones]

went to the city office today to get my business license and they said they had a contract with the waste management company and I couldn't rent roll off dump trailers to people in city limits!

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Sounds about right, what city?

[@ac2jones]

@AmericanAFDumpsters don't wanna say especially if it's common. Not a big town easy to get blacklisted and harassed by local PD. Happened to a guy who owns a pretty legit junk removal business... just doing small stuff anyway. Thought about going door to door even just asking if they got anything big they want to throw away.

[@bobbyhughes4895]

That’s ABSOLUTELY BS!!!

[@carboncopies706]

That's not leagal

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

Most common with everyone is know your local dump and transfer fees .

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Know them all and determine where to go based on your route if doing multiple dumps a day. Time is money.

[@Sandra-xy3zc]

Too fine. New. This

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Ok thanks

[@mr.d4295]

What are your slowest months?

[@jazzbradford817]

How much do you charge for milage

[@ch4osaeternum74]

I'm a trucker. If you are driving a dieseler. I personally wouldn't go lower than 2.50 a mile in today's economy. And you got to think. Most of your driving is city. So your gas mileage is even worse.

[@sofaism]

Put on your seat belt.. your family wants to have a father still after a car accident

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Thanks

[@okalejandro2515]

Going to unfollow!!!! Must be ilegal cutting your beard 😅

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Wise man once told me you should only shave when you’re dead! I don’t think I’ll shave then either.
