Question, my trailer is on order. I see you talk about jumpers and I dealt with that this year with dump trailers charging the battery's and going dead when dumping. How come you don't run a direct cable from your truck to the trailer ? How often did you run into issue with the batteries being dead or too low to dump/pick up a dumpster.
@rollingops2 жыл бұрын
I run a direct cable that will keep it charged a little but it isn't charging constantly off the alternator. That is an upgrade you would need to get from an outfitter or trailer shop usually. But my truck itself has 2 batteries as well that keep my trailer relatively charged for over a week if I wasn't plugging it in and it wasn't freezing.

So I have applied for my business loan as of today. Thanks for all the information and also what not to do. My dad works for a waste management aka big fish out of Baltimore. He told me to look at a truck with a hooklift. He explained that getting into residential areas is so much easier. Thoughts?
@rollingops2 жыл бұрын
If I could go back and start from scratch with all the funds. I'd probably go hooklift If I planned to be full time right off the bat. But I don't have trouble with getting the trailer around nearly as much as some others I've seen. Sometimes I'd argue that I have the advantage in alleys and other spaces that I can jackknife.

@@rollingops have a start up question... my plan is to run 4 cans but my fear is there is no one in this business other than the big companies ... so in a town of 15,000 would there not be a market for it here and that is why no one else is doing it? I'm in Northern Arkansas in the woods. What got me thinking this would work is my personal experience and nightmare of dealing with the big companies getting me a dumpster and then taking forever to come back and get it. It set full for like 20 days.
