BUY MY TOPSHELF 7x16x3 upgraded axles. Ramps. Telescopic. In Palm Bay not to far from you. Brand new. Not even 1 month old. Had to get a gooseneck equipment trailer

You need a truck like Same Day dumpsters.

I bet there was a other $600-$800 in that job if you magnet rolled for nails, left a rake-finish and spread grass seed and straw.

I'm curious if you took a deposit, and if so, how much? Also, how/when did the customer make the final payment? Did he sign anything to authorize the work and guarantee payment?

What strategies do you use to identify and target your ideal customer segments, and how do you measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns?

I’m confused on how you’re getting 6-7 ton payload on a 14k trailer. At 6-7 ton your overloading it when you figure how much the trailer weighs. You’re most likely at 4.5 ton.

Wear your seatbelt bro 💯

Just did a quick search there's a ford l9000 single axle dump truck with a cummins for sale $18000. I think that's better than going through the whole process of fabricating your own dumb bed.

Go big or go home stop messing around and get your cdl. Also my vote is to buy a single axle dump truck. It'll be cheaper and specced for it unlike the flatbed Kodiak. I'm local to you (brevard) with a couple trucks of my own let me know if you have any questions

Where in Florida do you live I am in the Orlando area

your best bet would to be get a class A which is super easy i got mine in 4 weeks showing up 2/3 days a week. Get a tandem dump truck. That older dump truck will be a pain in the butt and you cannot hook a trailer to it with out getting into cdl territory. Id say replace the kti pump for 400$ , sell the trailer and in the mean time work on getting that cdl so by the time it sells youll be able to get the dump truck.

Just to let you know you can get a 22,000 lb three axle dump trailer (hulk trailers)

Hey just wondering I just came out of a failing business... Trucking ..... And I was wondering how did you start did you have a lot of money up front ECT. I was planning to get a used ram 1500 or 2500 a dump trailer and used most likely older skid steer.... Also what did you do about competition I live in Northeast PA and I would imagine everybody and their brother has some sort of excavating/landscaping company.

Bald faced hornets. They sting when you come close to the nest even when you are not bothering them.

It’s better to get it new dump truck 2024 🎉

Must be nice pulling up like a Jefe with rig, trailer and tractor. Everyone won’t appreciate that and will throw shade, din’t over work your equipment when they have all that large equipment around, let them make time to help you out.

Upgrade! It's a 1992 though, lets goooo dump truck! I think it might be a lot cheaper to find one already ready to rock and roll though.

Keep grinding young brother. Keep Grinding up!

I was feeening for a new episode let’s Go 💪🏾🔥🔥

Telescopic dump trailer not scissor 👍🏿

I have a similar dump truck. 6 tons is all I can haul legally. It will haul more but it’s a chance to take

Fix your trailer it's the cheaper. Then making a dump truck. If you going to buy a dump truck . Buy a real dump truck in good condition. Keep up the good work

If I’m correct you already have a cdl as your loaded dump trailer would exceed 10K. Assuming that’s the case, a single axle dump truck with 33k gvwr is the best and you can keep your f250 for smaller jobs with dump trailer. You could also use the dump trailer to haul equipment until you financially recover or find an affordable equipment trailer to replace the dump trailer. I’d look for something like a late 90’s early 2000’s international 4700 or 4900 with the mechanical 7.3 diesel. They are available and relatively cheap to buy and maintain. Most that are dumps will handle about ten tons and I forget what the GCWR rating is but it’s pretty high. I wouldn’t want some shop to fabricate a dump for me as most times they get it wrong in one way or another.

Amen 🙏🏽

You can't go wrong with a Top Shelf Dump Trailer brother! Plus you have a good new reliable truck. If you go with a dump truck you should still keep a dump trailer around just my 2 cents 🤷‍♂️

Great content, Let me start by saying Im a CDL Driver. I've been trucking since 1998 off and on. You are correct in saying if the truck is rated for under 26001 Lbs it doesn't require a CDL. But if you attach your equipment trailer to it, Now it does require a Class A CDL. You are required to have a DOT physical and obtain a Health Card. Your truck requires a DOT Number and Possibly depending on several factors: an MC# and an IFTA Permit if you travel anywhere outside of your state, Apportion License Plates, And you may be required to log your hours of service ( but there's several exceptions to this that depend on how far you travel for work and such). Your Vehicle will have to go through a DOT Inspection and EVERYTHING even remotely safely related and mechanical MUST be in working order or be repaired to pass inspection. Because you will become a Target to DOT officers eager to pull you over just to do a roadside inspection(Expect That) where they will go over your truck (with a fine comb as they say) and ticket you for everything they find,including over weight. Not just of your load in general but they may do this on a per axle weight if your load is uneven and one part of your truck is too heavily loaded you could be fined(Commercial Truck fines are quite expensive)And they could put you out of service, meaning you have to get everything fixed right then and there on the spot before you can move the vehicle, or have it towed to a repair shop of your choice. (Note:Roadside Services of any kind really, including tow service, is also very costly.) Once everything gets fixed you send your repair bill and description of the repairs to the court when you get ready to clear your fines to show everything has been fixed. You can hire a CDL lawyer to handle that for you. All this is quit pricy. It could raise your insurance rates and count against your license points. If you get too many you may find it difficult to stay insured. Consult with your Local Commercial DMV For further information. And possibly consult an attorney that handles CDL Cases to see what all you have to do to prepare. Either way, (you're a smart person), I'm sure you will figure out a plan that works best for you.. It's not all bad. It's not all Doom and Gloom. Once you get everything done and all paperwork and permits handled it's business as usual. Just saying this to make you aware of the up front Many hurdles in your path. And it will put a hurt on the wallet for a bit. So may I suggest this alternative. Fix your trailer the best possible way or trade up to continue using it for the regular duties and just look to rent a 5 yard dump for the bigger jobs which is one that doesn't require a CDL, and don't attach anything that may be considered a trailer to it. If something breaks on the truck where repairs are needed the rental company is responsible for this. You may be responsible for things like flat tire repairs and such. But for other stuff, let them worry about the repairs, permits, and licenses. And only get it if and when you need it. Good Luck My Friend, I'm rooting for your success. ..God Bless You, Your Family, and Your Business..

Personally brotha like you said you don’t always need a dump truck for every job but you always need a trailer to move equipment so why not just just sell both dump trailers and grab a heavier duty gooseneck dump trailer and get a gooseneck equipment trailer

Get the top shelf

Look a truck with a single axle can’t weigh more than 33,000 if it’s a class 6 a class 7 truck isn’t even allowed to hold even that legally. In Cali we’re not allowed to haul even our truck limits because of safety issues and it’s true! Don’t try to push the trucks limits overloading it can also make it easier for tipping too if you don’t balance the load I’m sure you understand that. Any single axle dump shouldn’t have more than 8.5 tons when driving long distances or 10 depending on far you go. Also air brakes! Hydraulic brakes aren’t good enough to brake that semi truck you need air brakes. And I don’t know if your carb compliant laws but any truck before 2000 have harder times passing smog if that can be an issue.

Getting into this business in a different state is something I’m thinking about. If you were closer, I would love to learn from you. And yes, Jesus is the way! John 14:6.

Gooseneck dump trailer with telescopic lift. That way you still have a trailer to haul equipment around with and goosenecks ride way better then bumper pulls

Making a truck is gonna cost more than buying one that’s turn key already

I would get a dump truck ready to go , it will pay for itself

No hate brother. But I feel like it was a half-ass job due to the lack of knowledge. Not that you guys didn't work hard but the reasoning is because you used was a base material. You'll need to place finer material and run a roller. Otherwise, itll require maintenance every 6+ months and you don't want a bad reputation for such a large project.

Eventually you're going to need CDL. So either get it now and get better truck or get a truck aroun 25000 GWR with no CDL required. Butt dump truck is 100% right decision!

In my area fabrication company will charge 8000$ If you add price of a dump truck + The bed + fabrication company. You can get much better dump truck with that money, ready to go!

I got my CDL first started working for other guys to get experience. But your best bet is to get your CDL before you look into a dump truck it just makes life easier and you don’t have to be too picky on what truck you get.

Good buy a used hooklift

Sounds like your motor is burnt on the hydraulic pump

New dump trailer

Dump truck when your business can support it.

I've struggled with this question myself and come to the conclusion that an under CDL dump truck does not make sense. I chose to hire tandem axle trucks for my larger trucking and I pay them cash, and I pay them well. I have relationships with 4 different guys with trucks and I can always get a truck when I need one. I also have a dump trailer that I use for smaller hauls. You cannot legally haul your equipment with that dump truck. I don't think you are going to want to mess with trying to get equipment in the bed. The ramps would be way too long and too heavy to handle. Get your dump trailer working, make a future plan to get a CDL and get a real truck when the time is right. Now isn't the time based on what I can see.

Get the right size bucket for your skid steer. Throw out the 3 foot bucket

You'd do better finding a single axle dump truck ready to go. Instead of looking for a fabrication shop to piece one together. You would come out cheaper that way.

Dump truck bro

Sounds like you need a stronger trailer. Sell that and trade for a new one, or have someone rebuild the current trailer better than ever for less money, or like others are saying, get the cdl....then you can get a dump truck ( if you can afford it ) and a deckover trailer for equipment.

Keep up the good work my friend 💪🏾🙏🏾

Also, why not get a loan on a better / newer, truck, safer and less immediate maintenance, unless you get a Toyota those things are awesome

I say stick with the dump trailers, seems to be the cheaper route unless you go CDL-A. I have a sure trac 14x7 with 14k and telescopic lift. Pretty good so far. Need to put it to work more though.

Buy a new dump trailer do you can haul your equipment ive never seen anyone haul a skid in a dump truck thats oretty high off the ground safety would be a concern but another great vudeo god bless
