Overloaded Dumpster Breaks!! | Sometimes the Dumpster Business Gets Messy

Thanks for sharing.

Our pleasure!

[@brettkoch5781]

Dude you so positive! I would have lost it ! I hope you charged him for damage. You are living the life I want between this business and real estate. You are blessed!

[@rollingops]

Thanks man! I did not charge him, but haven't done business since, I think he got the picture that I wasn't happy...after doing it literally the next week

[@brettkoch5781]

@@rollingops lol I was binge watching your videos as we speak. I definitely think when people can’t be respectful of others property that they are no loss to lose. It’s better to have customers who appreciate your business.

[@andrewmusholt9327]

Mad respect for the positive attitude!

[@rollingops]

Thanks man! Gotta shrug it off, could always be worse.

[@davigorb]

At 1:25, That's why I keep a chain and load binder in the tool box. also works good if the customer only used the safety chain to hold the door shut instead of the normal latch

[@davidc5808]

could you do a video explaining all the different ways to load and unload these roll offs? for example in this video was the truck in neutral when loading the roll off? should the truck always be in neutral or always in park when loading/unloading roll offs? how do you unload/load roll off on an incline so the roll off doesn't roll down the hill or driveway or something? love your videos man and hope to have my setup soon!

[@rollingops]

Good video idea! I'll see what I can do

[@markb2007]

I’ve been on a dumpster video binge so I can’t remember if you have the Ryobi grease gun. If so I recommend the 1 gallon compressor. While slow it would’ve topped that tire so you could get rolling sooner.

[@rollingops]

I'll take a look at that, I have a tank but it's pluggin, so not best for on the road!

[@samuelcaraballo5940]

You have a gray property

[@rollingops]

Appreciate it!

[@MrSpccdavid]

I don't know how long the winch cable is but get a snatch block and it will basically double your pulling power.

[@rollingops]

I'll look into that!

[@pauldalton1367]

Absolutely. Great idea!

[@mattrottman3072]

Do you carry insurance on you dumpsters?

[@rollingops]

No, but for all my trailers. Any insurance company that tries to insure you for each dumpster is clueless or screwing you. Because they will never pay you for a claim because of damage to a dumpster. Something that is bound to be abused

[@billshauling4507]

That sucks bro! My 13 yard dumpsters I only haul 20-25 square. I did 30/35 once never again weighted 10k

[@rollingops]

Yep! No more than 40 sq allowed in my dumpsters everrr

[@gord2358]

Totally off topic but I had a dumpster catch on fire. We picked it up at a riverside company that rebuilt docks and wharfs. The speculation is that while they were takin apart some of the bolts with an acetylene torch, a spark contacted the wood and a fire started. My driver, rather than phoning me pulled off the freeway and parked on a dead end street where he proceeded to dump the load half on the street and half in the bush. By the time I got home the superintendent of public works was on the line saying that I had 24 hr. to clean up the mess or they would charge me $2500. After a lot of yes sir!, right away sir! I was back there first thing in the morning loading the burnt pieces onto a small delivery trailer, then to the dump to get rid of it. I asked my driver why he didn't immediately drive to a Fire Station and he said he thought it was more important to dump the load in order to stop the fire. Needless to say we parted company shortly thereafter.

[@skipyoder9191]

I can totally feel that. All I do is roofing and I have my own trailers (3 of them) and it's not hard to overload a trailer with shingles. I've had every imaginable issue, wheels brake off, axles brake, leaf springs brake, trailer brake off the truck and so on.

[@rollingops]

I may need to do some upgrade for this roofing season. It is so rough on the equipment

[@fournewseason]

Make sure you invest in thicker straps

[@rollingops]

Oh don't worry I did

[@MountainManservices]

Maybe rent a dump trailer for roofing

[@rollingops]

I'm considering getting a huge one

[@MountainManservices]

@@rollingops for roofing rentals you may want to keep it at the two foot walls But some company’s custom order them with four or six foot sides

[@carlevarts9986]

Hey, you can’t do roofing material. Your equipment is not made for it……..

[@rollingops]

Hey, I do nearly 3 a week in the summer...this was just a bad day. Thanks for your input

[@carlevarts9986]

@@rollingops you are overweight. If you get into an accident with that vehicle or get stopped by dot they will eat your lunch for sure !

[@christiankuchenbrod3878]

I thoroughly enjoy these videos man, I would love to see some 15-30 minute videos on your buisness and what a day in the life looks like and so on and so fourth. But I understand you stay busy and the longer the videos the more editing and the more it eats into your time and all that jazz. Good job staying positive in that situation by the way. I have a hard time staying positive when things go wrong but the more frustrated you get the harder it becomes to find a effective solution to the problem, I've learned the hard way lol.

[@rollingops]

Thanks man! Yea, I'll try to do that more! It's so cold here lately, I'm just trying tobget through the day. But as it warms up ill do that!

[@stevenporter7969]

Just my opinion.... I would suggest buying a Hooklift truck. Much easier to maneuver. That is why the bigger dumpsters use 1 big door instead of 2 smaller, cheaper made doors. Sometimes it is better to say "NO" than to get it and damage your equipment...EX: bent axle due to overweight, blown out tire... Get to know a good welder for things like this. Does it make sense to drive farther overloaded to save a few bucks????

[@rollingops]

I mean you're not wrong! Learned a lot from this one.

[@stevenporter7969]

@@rollingops we have 7 KW hooklift trucks that we use for builders. Just easier to deal with in tight spots. If anyone wants a dumpster for concrete, I immediately tell them not interested. I have picked up a dumpster that has 12 tons in it and said nope, never again. Our trucks are single axle trucks.

[@roofingdyi6.7powerstroke8]

I do roofing and I don't put more then 30sq on my bins, I do on my regular trailar. And change those tires get 16ply

[@rollingops]

Just ordered new tires, have 14s on my other trailer and they are wayyyy better. Just got every penny out of these 10 plys while I could.

[@kylegrimm]

Gotta love it.

[@lsxpower3367]

How do you charge when hauling shingles?also do you recommend doing it with a 14 yard?

[@rollingops]

Yes I did and he insisted that they would have some bulky items... fell for that one for sure. I now only rent out the 14 yard dumpsters for shingles with this trailer and limit it to 40sq.

[@lsxpower3367]

@@rollingops how do you calculate 40sq of shingles when renting a dumpster?

[@rollingops]

@@lsxpower3367 typically the roofer will know the size. I also know that about every square of shingles weighs about 240-250 lbs.

[@NickSkye]

Hey man, just found your channel. I'm a mortgage lender right now but want to break into the dumpster business as a side hustle and eventually maybe full time. Any tips for someone who knows nothing about dumpsters?

[@rollingops]

The jump is the hardest part man. Just figure out if it's something on paper that makes sense, learn everything you cN about different setups and benefits. Learn DOT laws in your area, and pull the trigger

[@soloriohaulingjunkremovalt9710]

Roofers dont care they will load as much as they could ..

[@rollingops]

Sadly this is very true

[@the_truck_farmer]

What do you do when a customer severely overloads it weight wise? Refuse to pick it up and charge them an Unacceptable load fee? I would imagine beside the DOT overweight issue when driving, that excessive weight would really tear up equipment…which obviously isn’t sustainable for business…I’d imagine that’s an ongoing struggle in the dumpster business…

[@rollingops]

It really can tear stuff up, I avoid anyone who utters the word concrete. And I'm always hesitant with roofers, you really need to know how many sq the roof will be and calculate the weight. Otherwise you will be out of this business quick, this ordeal was an oversight on my part. It won't happen again.

[@stellarbinsdumpsterrentals91]

Good to see it’s going well bro, just had my first 3 rentals this month, planning on Google ads next month

[@rollingops]

Shoot me a message sometime on Facebook man, always love talking with guys in this line of work. I was a marketing manager before I worked as a mortgage lender and bin guy. It has truly helped me get an edge in my dumpster business

[@GLOCKDADDY85]

Watch hauling those 20 YD with roofing a lot of companies including myself only put 15 yarder‘s out. It’s not worth the where in tear on the equipment.

[@rollingops]

Yep, I don't think I'll be doing it any more this way, too many close calls. Always with the 20s.

[@theplug3777]

Most I had in my pj was 9,890 lbs of garbage and cost me 350 to dump never again lol

[@rollingops]

Ha, that is a lot. I probably will never say how much I really dumped!

[@MT_Maniac406]

....actually with a credit card. Checkout @kylegrimm - he interviewed me about it and then made me start a channel

[@goalcrypto8653]

10 ply tires or 14?

[@rollingops]

10 ply, just ordered 14s yesterday. My other trailer has 14s. Night and day difference

[@goalcrypto8653]

@@rollingops yes sir, big difference lol. I hate shingles but it keeps the money flowing I only use the 15 yard bin for shingles, full can of shingles with the 20 yard is pushing it and it just adds more work/stress to the trailer and winch. Then again everyone has different thresholds.

[@kalebfiles7836]

Yep, the stress was real. Alllll around. Happens everytime with those 20s and roofs
