Your 10 STEP GUIDE to getting started in dumpster rentals!

[@jeanmerceron5399]

I just want to say thank you, you are down to earth, God will always bless you for helping others, this is huge.

[@samedaydumpster]

Thank You Jean. God Bless you and your family as well my friend.

[@BlueCollarHaulers]

#6 is huge. Meeting other guys in the industry and making connections helped guide me where I wanted my business to be in the future

[@samedaydumpster]

I think for most people in this industry this is an afterthought. Everyone is so "worried" about the competition and sharing ideas that they lack making those ever so important vital connections that we all need so badly. Thanks for watching Cody, Love watching your constant BIG moves.

[@BrackishMongrel]

Your knowledge and advice, as well as the great deal of time you put into your content is very much appreciated. I'm in the process of transitioning out of my lifelong career in trucking, and therefore am doing my homework, starting small, and immersing myself in your content and that of several others like you. I genuinely thank you for all that you put into sharing your knowledge.

[@samedaydumpster]

Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos and share your story and experience as well. I appreciate your support and wish you the very bets luck with your new ventures my friend. Drive safely.

[@hollysgarage9627]

Thank you so much for all the information!! Great content and I really appreciate the step by step guide! I would love to see a video on trailers, I know its not really what you use but id love to learn more about them because thats how I plan to start. For example how much tonnage you can carry in a 14k gvwr trailer, how big a truck you need, and how to still stay under CDL requirements in the process! Anyways thanks again John I have some work ahead of me, but your videos always give me the confidence and the motivation to start this business and work for myself in this industry!

[@samedaydumpster]

Your idea of creating a video about running a trailer and everything about the weight, CDL requirements and everything else that goes with it. I appreciate your comment and for supporting the channel. Thank You my friend.

[@JoseGomez-fz4cl]

I absolutely love your podcast and your ability to explain this business and all of its ups and downs. I’d like for you to speak to having debt and what to do if you’ve gotten into the business in the wrong way and are overextended. I’ll be honest…that’s me. I’m in the process of figuring out what to do in order to restructure my debt and increase my profitability. I used a ton of my savings but also used credit cards and a line of credit. As the market starting to change and rates started increasing, I noticed my debt increasing and profitability decreasing. I’m still under the 2 year mark so I haven’t been able to qualify for a SBA loan or any other business loan for that matter. Thank you in advanced and keep up the great work.

[@samedaydumpster]

I actually have an upcoming episode on this very topic in the near future. Here's just a little bit from that I'll share here now with you. You have already taken the risk... ( Good for you!!! ) And I mean that.... When you take big risks, you attack and play the game differently. It doesn't matter how you got into this game, debt, cash, credit cards, or mortgaged your house.... You're here in the game. But rather than focusing on restructuring your debt, focus on making more money to pay that debt. Elon Musk recently tweeted this and its so true: "Its easier to make an extra $10,000 than it is the save $10,000" I would focus on more business and paying the obigations you have rather than playing defense and worried about the choices you already made. Much, much more to come on this topic. Thanks for this comment. Get out there and put in the work and make that extra $10K

[@MyMrGarrett]

@@samedaydumpsterGreat angle on this. I love it.

[@justinpfeiler6975]

[@JusCrank]

These are truly core steps to starting any business and I’ve never noticed it!!! Thanks you so much for this!!

[@samedaydumpster]

Thank You for taking the time to watch a few videos and support the channel my friend.

[@DailyDumpsters]

Another great video John! If I were to start over again, I would directly go into the Hooklift truck and skip over the roll off trailer/gooseneck set up. Just my opinion. Can you do a video on what facilities you use to dump dirt/concrete? Also, do you separate your trash or take each load to the dump/transfer station? Appreciate your content! 🔥

[@BlueCollarHaulers]

I wish we could all start with a hooklift truck! But don’t forgot these trailers are a great way to step into the market and get proof of concept. It’s a lot easier to get your foot in the door with 40k versus 200k. I’m seeing the happy spot is starting with a trailer, and moving to hooklift in 12-16 months. IMO 👍 👊👊👊

[@DailyDumpsters]

@@BlueCollarHaulers Agree with that… I factor after I spent 40K on the Maxxd set up and then 65k on my Ram 2500 I was at the same amount that I spent on my hooklift truck. You’re right on it being a good start to test the waters! 👏🤛

[@samedaydumpster]

I think those are some great suggestions for future videos. I will put those on the list. Real quick tho... I don't do any type of sorting at the moment prior to going to the transfer station. I see value in it, it's just not something I have time for, or the facilities or the manpower to perform at this stage of the business. Thanks for your comment and for watching, very much appreciated.

[@samedaydumpster]

100%. I still feel you need to learn to walk before you run. The "trailer type" setup is a very crucial step for anyone starting out in this business. You learn to be efficient, the mistakes that get made on the trailer aren't nearly as costly as they are on a hooklift truck and you're spot on with the capital to get into the game. $40,000 vs. $200,000 + is a big factor while you figure a lot of things out. Great comment!

[@samedaydumpster]

I think most everyone will agree and see "proof of concept" that most ( I use this term loosely ) most guys started on the trailer and grew into hooklift trucks are doing pretty well for themselves. If someone is going to "washout' of this business, it's usually in the trailer phase. Thanks for the support and for watching guys.

[@Tackling_Tommy]

Absolutely great info - needed to hear that, because it’s all the info you would have to have for a business & marketing plan required for a business loan or investor

#6 is huge I have learned a long time ago it's better to work with same good minded competitors and work together than too fight each other and worrying about betting each others pricing and you end up making more money.

[@samedaydumpster]

Agreed. I have several companies that would be considered "competitors" that I have strong working relationships with. It's something that is looked over way too frequently. Incredible opportunities for everyone involved who are willing to work together.

[@timothytherrien3624]

such a great video. I feel like you should expand your youtube offering to those who are going after other business ventures apart from dumpsters. your logic goes a long way across multiple industries. thank you for the info

[@samedaydumpster]

This is tough for me honestly. Most my videos can cross into other industries for sure and there's a lot of valuable information for any business. But I don't want to be seen as one of those channels just spitting information. I like the lane I'm traveling with dumpsters and for at least the near future, I think I stay here. I very much appreciate this comment. Thank You for your continued support Tim.

So what are you doing for scheduling, reservations and tracking your dumpsters? Have you got a video on it?

[@samedaydumpster]

Yes... It's all handled thru my websites check out cart that the guys over at HyperTek Solutions custom made for me. Watch the video title "Here's why the competition is taking business from you." That explains step by step how I handle scheduling, reservations and tracking all my assets ( dumpsters, trucks etc... )

Great video! You touched on the reservation process, what service do you use?

[@mikeossmann2840]

Can you do an episode on the pros and cons of different trucks to install 54" hooklift non cdl and diesel or gas since diesel cost more and requires more maintenance

[@samedaydumpster]

Great suggestion for an upcoming video. I'll add it to the list. Thank You for watching and the support Mike.

[@mikeossmann2840]

@@samedaydumpster Thank you and BTW, I appreciate your informative and professional videos. Most of the KZbinrs are more self-serving than really informative. In the truck video or in a separate one can you also talk about dumpstar bags. I do not know how useful they are most areas but here in FL I think there is some opportunity with them since we get so many homes damaged from storm surges. I'm thinking the homes along the coastal areas could add a dumpster bag to their emergency supplies. If you drive along the coastal areas after a storm there are piles of trash all along the roads of these areas. If I can get them a bag prior to a storm it would be helpful for them and provide me with a business opportunity. Do you know if they even make a non CDL truck that will accommodate both a hooklift system, automatic tarp, and the bagster-hook system? I'd like to know about that before I order my trucks so If it's possible could send me an email with some of what you know about those system? I would greatly apricate that. I'm sure it takes time to make these videos so I'll likely be at step 10 prior to you putting a video out on it.

[@Frenchy3239]

Thank you man, I wrote everything down!

[@samedaydumpster]

Best of luck. That's the exact step by step I follow myself when starting a new business. Thanks for the support.

[@jantaspudno3939]

When first starting, how would you store dumpsters when they are not in use?

[@samedaydumpster]

It's just another expense in this game to consider and plan for. For guys like me in a busy city where I don't have tons of land ( because I live right in the middle of downtown ) I have to rent a yard, in my case... I actually have several yards that I pay rent on. You need to plan as no one will ever have 100% of their dumpsters rented out 100% of the time.

[@jantaspudno3939]

@@samedaydumpsterThanks! I also live in the middle of a big city and land is expensive. I'm not even sure how to find yards to rent. When ever I do a search all I find is a million sites for inside storage units.

[@tyrellcunningham4457]

What kind of equipment set up would you recommend for a starter side hustle. I want to go with something budget friendly, and maybe 5 cans to start.

[@samedaydumpster]

Def start with a trailer style setup. Test your market, practice your pricing model and when you feel its time to start scaling, you can always sell the trailer and move up to a hooklift truck. But def start with a trailer my friend.

[@hi5867jump]

Thanks for all of the advice. I have been self employed for over 30years and I am looking for some thing I can handle now that I am older.
