Yup…I did it again! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Overloaded my dumpster.

[@shanepipkin4041]

get bigger hydros

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Easier said than done lol

[@runningscout14]

I drive a Mack Granite with tandem rears and had a 30 yrd box loaded 20 yards of dirt. I had my steer tires roughly 5 feet in the air when I loaded the box. The truck was not happy going down the road. In my case the customer lied about what they were putting in the dumpster

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Geez where’s a camera when you need one lol!

[@mr.d4295]

Yo need to get a few small bins for dirt and concrete. I have some 6 yard bins that are great money makers

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Now I have my bigger trucks, I will be using my small 15 yards for heavier loads. Appreciate the watch and comment!!

[@throttlepusha9771]

Hey boss I have a hook lift business as well. I put wooden blocks on each side underneath the dumpster when dropping it for dirt rental. So when u come to pick it up and it’s a lot less stress on the hook system

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Not even doing dirt anymore! But I agree, the little bit extra helps a lot!

[@ryanf.6385]

If you think it might be a sketchy load, you could schedule a time to meet customer and live-load. Then you can tell em when to stop.

[@davidcampos5844]

What's the lifting capacity of the hook?

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

22,000 lbs!

[@israelrosales2244]

Customer sucks just subscribed thanks for the udate

[@outdoorzwithcraigdz]

I never do dirt or concrete in anything that large. 10 yards of soil is over 20k dry. I would only do it if I had a smaller can like a 4 yard.

[@dagobertogonzalez5801]

What’s the length, width and height of dumpsters I like your set up?

[@joedoesfun9336]

This load was probably still too much but you can use a chain to lift it from a higher position and put blocks under it. That gets your hook arm at a much better leverage point and then remove the chain, back up closer, raise the hook some and you can usually get it on the truck. Like holding a weight with a straight arm out in front of you compared to with your arm bent some. Much more power. Either way it's not worth a weight ticket or damage.

[@AmericanAFDumpsters]

Definitely makes sense, might have to try this hack soon! Thanks for the watch & comment!

[@MountainManservices]

Landscapers contract wow

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

Got a 30 yard dumpster for $685 for 3 tons yesterday .

[@lyleschlabach6602]

when I seen it I was like I hope you know you have about 30k of dirt in there 2200 per yard roughly

[@oldtimejunkhauling]

Paint a line inside the dumpster of the max fill for dirt and concrete. Or better yet own a short dumpster.

[@martijnopsomer7194]

Not in the dumpster industry myself. Just wondering if there shouldn't be a surcharge as you had to drive over twice, had a disruption on another schedule (where you delivered the 20 yard dumpster to) and did not have access to your dumpster on scheduled pick up (this is the same outcome as if they had the dumpster blocked off with a truck in front of it)? Any landscaper knows this is nowhere near 3 tonnes worth of dirt as they advertised. Couldn't the hydraulics have sprung a leak from overloading like that? Thanks for the video

[@donutman3089]

Daaamn son! That Hino was like...NOPE! Sorry that happened and people trying to do that to ya. Just not worth tearing up your equipment over. If you ever need a place to dump some somewhat clean dirt, I'll take it all. Give me a while to get my dump trailer, I'll even come get it. Be safe, sir.

[@danahasson2892]

Josh you just got to say no when people tell that they have concrete, dirt, rocks, brick, stucco,,gravel, sod, or anything else like that. Unless you have small heavy duty dumpsters for that they will always overload them. Everyone always has more than they think they Have when it comes to materials like that. I had custom made 5yd concrete and dirt dumpsters made for my setup and have no problems and make good money with them. The other secret with those type of dumpsters is to find places to dump them for a flat rate, not by the ton or for free .

[@TrashManJake]

You need special dirt dumpsters.

[@MountainManservices]

Liek special ed but for dumpsters

[@aslife3813]

Josh this gives me anxiety watching and listening to your hydraulics struggle. I had a customer ask for a dirt haul and I told them I only rent my 10yd for that for this reason. Keep hustling! 🇺🇸

[@timofai1]

One cubic yard of dirt equals 1 ton so you have 30,000 lb. You got lucky that the customer even emptied that out for you what if they said it's on you? You should have at least drew a line inside the container to show them not to go any further past that line and I guess that will teach you never to drop off anything larger than a 10 cubic yard

[@HanaMana05]

You probably have atleast 15-20 tons of material in there no way your picking that up🤷🏾‍♂️

[@timothygrant4689]

What happened to your 26,000 non cdl keep it simple business statement.

[@stevecrane1125]

I won't haul dirt.Period End of Story.Every time I ever mess with dirt I get screwed.Watch how high you rev up your PTO. Mine is 1500 max.Anything higher can trash your pump..

[@ronniewilliz153]

That's double the weight if it's dirt lol

[@jasintocarrasco2832]

Yo josh the trailer would of picked that up no problem 😆 jk man that’s a heavy one

[@nickhassler2727]

LOL don't you love how business owners try to screw over other business owners? Why would any person sign a form that says the renter is not responsible for damages? That just tells me that guy probably isn't insured as he should be and if he does break something he has to pay out of pocket for it. I don't understand why anyone would pay to get rid of what looked like clean dirt. Here in PA there are always people looking for Free Clean fill and they'll come to get it most of the time.

[@bigreds9188]

Josh my friend are you trying to destroy your equipment on purpose 🤔🤔 lol. 3 tons of dirt will fit in the back of an 8' pickup bed. That for sure at that height was 30k or more. Glad you got it emptied though. Just a question have you ever had your hydraulic system checked on your truck. It seems to move a bit slower than some I've seen. Maybe there is a slight blockage in a filter or something. But anyway dam that looked heavy. Keep getting at it and hope your father is doing better 🙏.

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

Could you of called a local hooklift truck and have them pick it up and dump that heavy load for you .

[@christopherroberts5659]

You still doing dirt and rock?

[@CFLDumpsters]

I was talking to ya when you were picking this up 😂, I sent you a video showing you how it’s done. I kid, but seriously live and learn man, keep it moving.
