[@connor718]

YOUR EDITS AND HUMOR ARE AWESOME BOBBY, DONT CHANGE

[@rogerstella458]

Bobby You should invest in a winch….even a Harbor Freight one. Most guys are probably using it to pickup cars ….barn finds that don’t run… you may even be able to up the prices. Also get some tie down strap …if you don’t have a trailer most people aren’t going to have them…..you can charge a couple bucks for renting straps. Just my two cents…..Good Luck!

[@emmettcole6004]

Be careful though. Winch and straps add liability if they break or are used improperly and come loose. Maybe once upped to an LLC. IMO. Good luck and keep it moving 🎉

[@xbookman6823]

​@emmettcole6004 They don't add liability to him. The person hauling the goods is liable.

[@MrGuyBroDude]

@@xbookman6823 You are going to need a hell of a legal team to protect you and have near perfect documents for the renter to sign in that case. Here in the US, everyone is sue happy. People still try and sue for slips and falls on a wet surface when companies have video cameras and we floor signs...

[@FullFlushh]

Another tip, go ahead and rent a trailer from your competitors and get an inside look on their operations and how they do things… once you see what they do well, you can see what they don’t do well and excel everywhere they do and especially everywhere they DONT!

Watching that trailer pull out of the driveway over and over is so satisfying. I want to do this so bad.

It’s only a matter of time before this channel gets the respect it deserves

[@kraigdeschaine9918]

I am working on renting a log slitter, 6'x12' utility trailer and 5'x10' dump trailer. You need to have a super solid rental agreement. If someone gets hurt using your equipment they can sue you for not providing training materials and hands on training. I talked to an attorney about this. Also, you need Business Liability Insurance and it is expensive as hell! I got a quote for 5k minimum for a year!

[@DynastyCannabis]

People that sue are goofy rats. Sadly they are everywhere

[@RealMrNails]

Respect the hustle

[@michaelpreston2392]

When renting a trailer you need to require a debit/credit card to be on file. That way if they don't bring it back you can get your money back. Or if they damage it. This is what uhaul does

[@wesleyharvey489]

Card on file!!! Best way to get money that way something else happens you can charge them and there’s no fight for your money!

Good stuff man…just a warning though, you need liability insurance and/or to speak to a lawyer. If your trailer is involved in an accident, or hurts someone you could be in deep doo doo. You gotta make sure you’re protected, even tho I hate thinking about that shit

The only issue with the air tag is iphone users will get pinged of its location. Maybe find another gps tracker that wont dime itself out

[@imbrandon16]

Cut a hole in the frame, insert the Air tag flick it down so it’s safe from heat and weld the slice you cut out back in and grind flush and te paint lol. Don’t matter if they know it has an air tag if they can’t find it to get rid of it 🤣

You can split air tags open and take the speaker out. Hard to do anything about it if it doesn't make any noise and you can't find it.

I love this idea. I am following another guy doing a trailer rental business... he is killing it. I just bought 40 acres in Colorado and have plans to have a small section for about 10 trailers of different sizes. I have a car trailer and a 3 axle wedge trailer already to start.

[@amorton94]

Who is this other guy?

[@Justthemow]

Take that “sealer” off the trailer buy some used transmission fluid or change your transmission fluid and use that to mop the deck it will get absorbed into the wood and it will never rot or come out

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Used motor oil, diesel, and a sprayer or mop. That works great too.

[@jaronbrubaker2116]

You should weld a little box somewhere under there to put it and protect it from water and everything it’ll also help hide it

[@mugennick5209]

Awesome work Bobby. Grease the bearings after every trip just for piece of mind. Especially if they were in an inclement weather or off road for some reason. Keep us updated on your home renting endeavor. I want to see your opinions. My dad owned property’s around the area. It made money but he always pushed me away from it. Cash!

[@35anthony]

Very good , LLc business also every thought of Turo car rental . My buddy started jeep and has 4 cars . Doing very well

[@TexasBeekeeper]

For the Air Tag. I would recommend counterboring the underside of one of the boards enough to encompass the air tag. Then just take a .25 X 1" board about 6 inches long and place it over the counterbored hole with the air tag in, and put a screw on each end to hold it in place. When you need to swap out the air tag or battery just unscrew one end of the board and swivel it out of the way to pop the air tag out. Place it in an obscure place and they shouldn't notice it is even there. To hide it even more you could even route out a channel for the .25" X 1.00" board to make it flush as well.

I’d return the rim to tractor supply and get yourself a rim from a salvage yard for 15 to 35 bucks unless you already had that and got a bare tire rubber for your own rim .

[@dempseydoodles]

Rent your home bro! It’s as simple as hitting the bank, take your truck (assuming it’s paid off), squeeze the equity off your truck/asset and place that down as a dp on your “forever home”… You can purchase your “forever home” under an FHA btw… you’ll need to offload your property off your name of course but naturally, this is what you’re gonna wanna do anyways since you’re gonna rent it out. So print out a quickclaim deed and transfer it out of your name and into a Trust/LLC that you create. But reach out to your bank before you do that so this way, you can definitely make sure that that’s within their guidelines because sometimes when you do this it may trigger a “due at sale” clause, so you definitely wanna make sure that your bank allows this before you just go ahead and do it for the hell of it.

[@Droptheworldghost]

In your contract, put in the terms that the renter has to preform a coupler test meaning lower the trailer on the ball lock in place. Extend the jack all the way down lifting the vehicle if not set properly it will decouple there and not on the road hunting any body

How much was the trailer? And you should promote your self on social media , maybe some business cards .

[@donaldmiller5758]

Your doing well Bobby and you should get that truck lifted and maybe add some more power like bigger turbo maybe

[@chrislagro91]

Great idea. I've been thinking of a way to make some money on the side, passive income per say. I may look into this.

[@kevincloonan9787]

You should do a video on your contract agreement. Im curious how you run that

[@chadlowery1098]

Pelican makes small little water tight boxes that you can place your AirTag within. If you hard mount it by drilling through the box place some Butyl Sealing Tape over the hole on both sides. As long as the bolt/screw has a flat shoulder to apply pressure to the tape it’ll seal water tight. Harbor Freight sells some high quality versions identical to the originals (patent expired) so you can save a few bucks. Keep in kind, anyone with an iPhone will be alerted that an AirTag has been with them, so a thief will easily be notified and remove it, and go drop it on a bus long before it’s due back. Consider going on line and buying a better quality tracking system that doesn’t announce its presence to everyone.

[@jmatney2011]

I am thoroughly enjoying the trailer content. I am very interested in seeing how this turns out. Great concept for sure. Ironing out the details will be something I’m curious to see what you end up having to do.

[@rickyracer-aidanhenson1216]

Silicone the AirTag to the frame and hit it with black spray paint. Extra points if you can throw a bead with the silicone and make it look like a weld

[@baqu3757]

i put like 4 airtags on my trailers, i dont loan them out but its something i have done for piece of mind

[@GarandOne]

I believe the AirTag would notify the renter about them being tracked and if they want to steal the trailer they can ping it and find it.

[@andrewlegg5234]

Yes they would get a notification if an AirTag is found following them

[@UnderSprayedWhiteSkies]

If you haven't already lost your tracker prescription bottle, I suggest you seal the bottle to the lid w/a strip of electrical tape.

[@bobocaterpillar3697]

what do you do about BRAKE control on the trailer? most people DONT KNOW if their own truck side of it works..?? especially people who do not tow a lot. i would suggest installing a hydraulic surge coupler. that way, its all automatic and you don't have to worry about it. that is how u-haul does it on all of their rental trailers.

[@tannaclark4195]

Great video dude but if you haven’t grease that trailer, you should definitely grease those hubs and don’t know if you did check the bearings but I would jack it up to see if you could wiggle the tire at all so you know the bearings are good

[@windmillacres679]

How do you handle brakes? Do you have surge brahes? Electric brakes? Are your customers vehicles equipped with electric brake controlers? Brakes are suggested (and a legal requirement in some areas) at 3,000 lbs.
