Great Video! You just woke me up! I bought a hooklift and got up to 28 dumpsters 2 years ago. Have a few contractors using us and bought a junk removal truck to take on junk removal. However, I stopped running ads and just cruising along all comfortable. But after seeing this video I’m realizing I’d better get my butt in gear with running ads and getting more business. If the contractors decided to go with the cheaper guys I’d be up sh*t creek really fast. Anyhow thanks for dropping this video it really freaked me out and it’s just want I needed. ❤

I am glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching!

There's contractors that say there's no work and there's people that tell me they can't find anyone because they're booked out for 6 months. I did the same thing you talked about for a few years. Got complacent didn't try to get more accounts and then lost my biggest account. Nobody to blame but me.

2 years ago the economy was great and there was hardly any competition. Now there is more competition than ever and the economy/housing market is taking a nose dive. Going to make it tough for everyone, but especially those just starting out that don't have an established book of clients. The next 1-2 years will separate the men from the boys IMO.

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

I agree for the most part

It appears that this economy is slowing down. Remodel and new construction is going to follow. A lot of people are going to feel the effect. As an example, Yellow freight lines just filed for bankruptcy, 30,0000 employees are now out of work. Bankruptcy as a whole are way up.

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

Bankruptcy is going up from all time lows though. I do not see the housing market or remodeling slowing down anytime soon unless intrest rates continue to go up. I think the next 5 years will be great for cunstruction and dumpsters. More houses are being built in my area right now than I have seen since 2009. They are all selling immidiately as well. All good things always come to an end but I think it will be a while Thanks for watching!

Up here in Canada roofing has slowed to a crawl everybody’s mortage has gone up at least 1000 to 1500 a month so extra stuff is put on hold.

Around 2:30 you're absolutely right its how I exploded my business. The industry is easy to take over because most of the business owners are in their 50s and don't want to learn the new way of growing companies.

[@gibsonlp1866]

Sir thanks foe your cool videos. I always wanted to start one of these business.. how much money do you think it would take to start one of these businesses? Truck and equipment. Maybe 20 dumpsters to start

[@ontariodrone379]

I love Johns Videos too. You are one of the top 4 tubers that I follow for dumpster rental information.

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

I do my best! John is doing great things this year and I am excited to see his videos!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Great video

[@danahasson2892]

Great video Justin Great thoughts. I'm definitely guilty of getting complacent at times. Keep up the videos Justin.

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

We are all guilty at some point

[@theroofguru807]

Your phone sounds like mine . I had to hire a answering service

[@benjaminthomas4421]

Hey Justin, great video. I've been meaning to ask you about the decals for your dumpsters. Do you know the size of them for the 20s? They seem to fit perfect. Also do you use the same size for all of your containers? Just let me know. Thanks

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

I made them all 8ft long but the width varies. I believe the 20 yards have a 32" wide decal. I made them as wide as I could for each size dumpster

[@cadecovington3203]

💯 %

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

Thanks!

[@markadevereaux]

What is your target population density per dumpster? We’re in the apartment business, running numbers on starting a dumpster rental business to serve our needs as well as the community needs. How far is too far to do runs? Love your videos. Just started watching. Thanks!👍

[@jamesofallthings3684]

Watch all his videos he covers everything you'd want to know.

[@Dad9700]

nice to see your still alive! i like all your videos. action is cool, talking about dumpster life is good as well. as long as it's interesting and we are learning something. so far so good. miss seeing you around. i will check out that other guy you mentioned as well. BTW... you were correct, as soon as i got my Nedlands system i have been sold out often. thinking of getting more cans. i would rather not be sold out and have a few in the yard to be available. i believe you said the same thing once. hope all is well my friend and good video!
