Leaving My Dumpster Business Behind In A Hurry

Do you run a dumpster business and need an all in one solution? Seperate yourself from the competitors in your market. Click my link below to schedule a free demo with the same team at Docket that set me up too! www.yourdocket...
With beach and vacation vibes lingering, it can be tough balancing business hustle with relaxation goals! It's all about finding that harmony.
The struggle of stepping away from the daily grind, even for a brief escape, can feel like a daunting challenge. As a dumpster business owner deeply invested in both dumpsters, junk removal and real estate, the need for a seamless operation is paramount. Juggling the demands of business growth and personal time can be a delicate dance, but with dedication, proper technology, and strategic planning, it's possible to strike that perfect balance.
The key lies in having a solid foundation in place, like a reliable team and efficient tools, to ensure that the business continues to thrive even in your absence. So, while the echoes of work may linger, it's essential to embrace the moments of rest and rejuvenation, knowing that your business is in capable hands.
Now that I've hit the reset button, there is no telling what I'll do next!

Thank goodness for Trevor

He's come in clutch on more than one occasion for sure. He's part of Rolling Ops at this point

Employees like Keegan are essential. i think when the time comes for you to keep growing hes going to be a huge asset and his light personality will make him a natural for training new hires. ive worked with a few “keegans” over the years and it really changes the atmosphere when someone other then the boss is always in a good mood! im sure your customers see it

[@rollingops]

Absolutely, he's good at what at he does and reliable. Hard to find these days for sure!

[@kylegrimm]

The Michael Scott clip made my day

[@rollingops]

Def my favorite part as well

[@ohiodipper9877]

I will say for 29 ur killin it man keep up the good work

[@rollingops]

I appreciate that man, I'm trying to step back and be happy with where im at for sure! But I got some goals to still hit!

[@James5599]

More Keegan content! loved the different views

[@rollingops]

I plan to try! Just have to get keegan to open up to it more!

[@Dad9700]

I just got back from a 2 week vacation in mexico. it takes me about 3 days to clear my mind and start relaxing. however i bring my laptop to work at night when i can and early mornings as well. it helps me to relax and trust i have the business in good hands. its tough though. i feel ya!

[@rollingops]

It's a wicked balance! But I felt the same. 2-3 days before I could completely chill. With a few check ins a day. All went well!

[@bshtavinski1345]

The guy went on Vacation to sell Docket.

[@yodabomb2018]

What’s docket?

[@Evanxkenders]

some 1 got equity in docket

[@nickgee7145]

Best Docket commercial I have ever seen. Lol

[@BeefRocknmore]

The different businesses should (must) be different LLC (done right, not just register with the state, so much more). I pray yours are.

[@riemedwin4250]

Big island Kona been there for 11 years good place to go visit…

[@rollingops]

It's beautiful!

[@BeefRocknmore]

I would have fallen out of my chair (standing desk, so good fall) if that chicken / bird would have turned on you. LoL

[@rollingops]

I'm honestly shocked it didn't. He was not a happy guy

[@HighSpeedChase762]

A hoodie AND a Carhart today? 75 here today in GA!

[@rollingops]

The temp range in a week in the midwest has been wild. One day it's 73, 48hrs later it's 33 degrees

[@JeffRichards-u8d]

Can you charge extra for appliances and if so how do you charge

[@rollingops]

Yep! If they toss it in the dumpster it's one price, and we ask them to put it in last so we can yank it out. Or if we have to do a pickup, it's another price

[@chadjelliston5652]

Dang! Always something… throw a 6 speed manual in it 😄

[@rollingops]

Right! I'm sure trevor could have that done in an hr or two. Lol

[@BentIronBins]

So you’re saying Docket is good or bad 😉 just razzing you. Glad you and your wife had a great holiday.

[@AaronBrinkman-z3w]

It’s cool to see the point of view from your crew

[@rollingops]

Thanks! Others have said so too. Going to try and keep doing that

[@HighSpeedChase762]

Let's talk about your 5th gen RAM. Have you had any mysterious oil leaks? I'm having one form the timing gear case gasket. I'm having RAM customer care look into covering it under warranty on my 4th gen. Apparently it is a well known issue that is almost unavoidable. That being said, I want to delete my grid heater and a couple other things in the near future. Also, if your 5th gen has the Aisin AS69RC, check the VIN for the recall on the snap ring if you haven't already.

[@BentIronBins]

Hmmm havnt heard of that gasket going but keep an eye on your oil pan mine rotted through and it’s a bloody pain to change. Dealer charges 25 hours to change 😢

[@rollingops]

I haven't seen any mysterious leaks around there yet. As I knock on wood....I'll look into the trans though! Although mine may be different. The cab and chasis model has a slightly different trans than a regular 3500 I believe

[@HighSpeedChase762]

@@BentIronBins 0 snow or salt here. Hopefully not a concern. Diesel Doctor has a couple of videos about the gasket. My local diesel shop is doing 2 RN and the dealership diesel shop has 1 currently and has had several.

[@BentIronBins]

@@HighSpeedChase762 yea your in Georgia so not a problem we get loaded with salt in the winter. Thx for info on gasket ill keep my eye on it.

[@davidc5808]

no way! your on the big island. I recognized it from the airport.

[@rollingops]

That airport was so unique too!

[@chrismattus584]

Love the videos man, how many dumpsters do you guys run? And what would you say is your population in your service area?

[@rollingops]

We are in a population of about 40k. But with a lot of little towns around us. Only 10 dumpsters. But turn them over 40-60 times a month. I plan to return and buy a few more immediately. We're running out by the end of the week constantly now

[@mitchell_hab]

I’m going to India to get married leaving the 14th going to be back April 10th. I feel your pain brother. 😂

[@rollingops]

Ooooof. I'd be trying my best not to check my phone constantly 🙃

[@neeleydev2596]

Happy birthday

[@rollingops]

Appreciate that!

[@TexasFenceGuy]

What island brah? Makes me want to take the family to Hawaii!

[@rollingops]

The big island of Hawaii staying in Kona! Beautiful, that's all there is to it

[@davidc5808]

[@davidc5808]

when you have the chance go to tex drive in and get a malasadas.... bavarian creme filled one is my fav but cannot go wrong with a classic unfilled one @@rollingops

[@rollingops]

@@davidc5808 dude! That's awesome, I just told the girls. We plan to try and go tomorrow now. You're the second person to recommend it!

[@davidc5808]

@@rollingops haha locals know best… I run Sharky’s dumpsters if you wanna check out my rig… might convince you to get a hooklift 😏

[@509bassin2]

What tool box was that?

[@rollingops]

Gear wrench, amazon special. It's not super high quality snap ons. But for the price, it's an excellent truck box. You could repair about anything on the road with it in a pinch

[@MIGHTYX2010]

👍

[@rollingops]

Appreciate you!

[@blaynebriceno]

Prior to Docket, how would you bookkeep ? When the business was only but a dumpster or two. excel spreadsheet? hand written? Thank you

[@rollingops]

Google calendar. But it got messy

[@blaynebriceno]

So as someone who is starting this business as a side hustle, but still working 7-5, What would you suggest be the right approach to documenting ? As early stages the business will be picking and dropping after 5, and fri-sunday. Not going full swing on ads quite yet. @@rollingops

[@rollingops]

@blaynebriceno it's kinda up to you man. Looking back, I kind of wish I had done the switch way sooner. Because I could have set an online scheduler, where I could set the availability. Rather than sneaking off at work to take phone calls, or missing them throughout the day. It would of also been the easier way to grow with the software. Rather than making a dramatic shift later, which not only causes a learning curve, but makes me retrain loyal customers who rent weekly, how to book online.

[@rollingops]

I'm not going to tell you, you HAVE to do anything or use any particular software. But you will find out that certain process are needed once you have a few dumpsters.

[@rollingops]

I would look into a couple software options and look at it this way. "How many dumpsters or junk removal jobs do I need to do to pay for this" Then say, "how much more business might this generate" That's how I evaluate nearly every purchase now

[@jefferykeeper9034]

Bad idea leaving the check and showing it on ytube.

[@rollingops]

By the time you saw that check. It was picked up 3 days before
