I Charged Over $2000 For This Job Due To The Damages Caused To My Dump Trailers! | Dumpster Rentals

[@RollingWithRuss]

I love seeing how you’re friendly with the other haulers in your area. It pays to have friends 😊 Way to go brother!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Thanks man! I appreciate the feedback 🤝

[@brimanco]

People In my area would NEVER pay $80 to haul off a lawn mower! They would want me to pay them! 😆 but hey U are providing a service and I give U all the credit for that if U can make that $$!

[@jays106]

same here there are too many in my area that at least will pick it up for free

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Same with my area, but sometimes I find people who are willing to pay to not deal with Crack heads 😂

[@LoadedDownJunkRemoval]

I would have taken your same approach on the damage. 👍🏼TTYL

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I appreciate the feedback boss! Thanks for watching 🫡

[@kh867]

Those scratches and damages give the trailer some roughneck character. I like it!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Haha 🤟

[@mycenae2]

Yep, those dumpsters aren't going to stay looking new if they're out there making money for you. Just manage your customer's expectations when it comes to charging for damage. A written contract is better than a verbal, but a verbal notice about how you'll charge for damage is better than nothing, and it avoids surprises for your customers when it comes to extra charges for damage to your property. There's a fine line between keeping those repeat customers happy, and not letting them take advantage of you. Great video, keep grinding!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I appreciate the support boss! 🤝

[@strykerv1620]

you need some beater trailers for demo stuff..this way wrapped ones don't get beat down.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yeah, maybe one day these will be my beater trailers 😂😂

[@goneridingparts]

can't always afford "everything" you need.

[@vegatx2114]

Or stop renting to inexperienced people

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@vegatx2114 I need to keep my trailers busy. This is what feeds my family. I'd rather have damaged trailers, but my family gets to eat than have pretty sitting trailers with no food on the table 🤷‍♂️

[@gunnerranch]

Can't wait to watch after work brotha.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Appreciate you brotha!

[@Jrsclassics]

You could have someone weld some angle iron on the side of your trailer so you could slide plywood in when you rent them out. Then just slide them out when your not renting them.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Maybe one day!

[@JuarezDerrick]

The wire running from the electric to the house is probably aluminum or copper but there is a steel wire that holds it up

[@JackofHaulTrades]

You're so smart! I wish I knew that I would have took the wire 😂 I appreciate the feedback boss 🤝

I'm Tuned in as always!

You got $80 for picking up a lawnmower and stayed there for 5 minutes. You sir, are a great salesman!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Thanks man! That's cheaper than the bigger companies tho 😂

[@deninger]

Just a little heads up brother.. in your video descriptions you wrote "sings" im sure you meant "signs" haha. Love your videos! Keep it up!!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Man thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback 🤝

[@DMAX-tp4pc]

Watching you straighten it with the crescent wrench 😅 you should buy these Knipex XXL pliers, I’m not sure I think they are 22 inches? Ginormous, the biggest ones they have. I use em for everything that requires a decent amount of force, they are great. You wouldn’t think you need pliers that big, but once you figure out what they can do 😅

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Haha right! I definitely didn't use the proper tool 😂😂

[@chargermopar]

I will pick up metal junk for free if it fits in my pickup truck. Good thing you charged enough for your trash hauling to make it worth your time! Those junk removal companies do overcharge for sure!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I appreciate the support boss!

Good video my bro 👊🏾

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Thanks brotha! 🫡

[@markp2865]

His company may have insurance that covers damage he does to your dumpster. You may want to get collision insurance for one ugly dumpster that you rent out for demolitions. UHaul offers insurance when they rent out their equipment. You could offer customers to buy insurance or pay out of pocket if they decline the insurance. Thanks for the video!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

That's a better way to do it for sure! Thanks for watching boss 🤟

[@angelvelez6554]

You should invest in a small welder and a plasma cutter. This way, you can do any small repairs to your equipment . Based on the work you do, you should get a skiter bucket that opens.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

One day I'll probably have one! Thanks for the tip

[@mrMacGoover]

If you have a welding machine you can spot weld 1/8 steel rod around the edges of the dent and use a long crowbar and 2X4 block of wood as a fulcrum to pull the dent out. Break of the rod and retack closer to the center of the dent and repeat.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I don't have a welder as of now. But maybe one day that will change! Thanks for the comment 🫡

I think powerline wire is Aluminum, Otherwise it would rust.

[@rvadventures]

How much is it for a dumpster for demo.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Prices very like crazy. It just depends on your location and how heavy it will be boss

[@276SpeedShop]

How often do you get tips?

[@JackofHaulTrades]

A few times a month, nothing too crazy.

[@JustAnAverageBrad]

its a dumpster trailer...damage is normal i would 100% expect damages and not charge extra unless i could determine it was deliberate ...its part of the game nothing stays new forever

[@FloridamanForever]

Damage is different from wear and tear. Customers who damage equipment has to pay. The only other option is to raise the prices on customers who takes good care of the equipment and that is bad for business.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Absolutely not. Damages are not normal, now wear n tear is a different story. I understand that nothing stays new, and that's why I didn't charge for scratches on the dumpster or wrap damage. But now when you start bending metal, that's a different story brotha!

[@jonathancalderon7682]

You should put 2x4 on your rails. That way the wood takes the damage befor your metal. 2x4 is small enough for them not to be too big like 2x6 or 8.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

It would be too tall for my mini skid unfortunately

[@egyphon]

Those dumpsters were wrecked, I would have cried. They could have been more careful.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I agree, but accidents happen and you just need to learn how to not stress too much about it. I still want to have hair at 40 years old 😂

[@chrisvetter5605]

80 to get a lawnmower is expensive

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Not really. Bigger companies would charge their minimum, which is usually around $130. That lawnmower is only going to bring like 3-4 in scrap, which isn't even enough to cover fuel costs...

[@richyg3993]

You have to really know your worth. Sometimes going out for $80 just doesn’t make sense when you account for fuel, your time and wear/tear on your truck and trailer. Remember, your truck is an employee. It HAS to get paid too. It’s your most valuable tool. Also, People who won’t pay your minimum to pick up a lawn mower and maybe a bag or two is probably not the customer you want anyway. This helps weed out your ideal/ serious customers.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@richyg3993 Agreed! if it's a local job and I'm driving by, it's okay to negotiate. But if I'm driving out of the way, I can't negotiate that minimum. Even if it's scrap since scrap, because if it would have been trash, the price would have been $100 minimum

[@kenpgh]

It sucks that the wrap got damaged if it was just paint scratches a little sanding and touch up paint it would look decent , guess the old saying of ' cant keep anything nice ' applies in this rental 🤣

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Once you let someone rent something or borrow something it will never be nice again 😂

[@mateomartinez2849]

How do price your small junk removal jobs?

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I did a lot of research to learn my service area before starting. Call the bigger guys in your area and see what their charging that should give you an idea! Thanks for watching 🫡

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

Did you charge him extra for dumping fee cause all that dirt just extra money hope they treat you right 4:14

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir I did

[@jays106]

most dumpsters you rent even roll off units they do not include the cost of disposal in the rental that is almost always extra the only one i know in my area that does include some is dumpster depot an on a 30 yard roll off they included 4 tons of C&D waste last i looked into it on a mobile home demo i was bidding but the people were cheap and though there was all kinds of good stuff so they said so my price was too high. The place had been abandoned for 5 yrs like they closed the doors moved it to a friends property and never went back it was nasty. actually was glad i did not get it

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@jays106 It depends on the company in my area. Most people include up to 2 tons, anything over is extra!

[@garrytravers3846]

Hi do you donate the fire wood to maybe a local charity . It would be a great way to help out

[@nomowworries3745]

Yes sir I agree with the damage. Have to expect minor damage when you allow someone else to use your stuff. No one will respect your equipment the way you do. It provides for your family, it helps others get tasks done. They are not the same. Now if it was major damage that’s a different story. Keep grindin and making money! People can say what they want but you have what… 13k total in the trailer and made 2k with minor damage. Easy math brother 🫡

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir! I'm counting on this income to feed my family. I would rather have a trailer with a few dings and scratches and food on the table. Rather than a pretty sitting trailer without any food on the table! Thanks for the comment my friend 🫡
