I live right down the rd from you guys in Larkspur (outside Castle Rock) and had to laugh when I saw this. I used to rent trailers as well, and have some stories to tell from it! Not a business worth being in as people are absolute animals often times. One of my trailers was completely destroyed, but I threatened to take the guy to court and he eventually agreed to buy the trailer (per the contract). Good thing I had a tracking device and could prove it all. Keep doing the deliveries instead! Only downside is the need to maintain that truck. Oh, I have a Lamar dump too… excellent trailers once you swap the tires!
Thank you for sharing your experience. There definitely seems to be a risk with the rentals. I've heard great stories and I've heard horror stories. I'm glad you like your Lamar… They seem to be really well built and sturdy trailers. I like mine!
This "suggested" vid came up on my YT feed today, and it looked interesting, so I watched it to my delight! I loved your info, content, and credit to our magnificent Creator! I wish you the best and am now a fan (subscriber)!
Why don't you have fuel on your expenses? Also you probably need to think about adding x amount of cents per mile for expenses like tires, oil changes, trailer maintenance?
Are you using a CRM or just an Excel spreadsheet? I’ve been doing lawn care for years as my side business and just added a dump trailer to my small fleet. I’d like to contact you to get some ideas from you, if you’re willing. Nice setup 👍🏼
I would not add all of those things on. People will think you’re nickel and dimming them, just my opinion. You could add something like a transportation insurance charge, easily explained that your insuring the load if any halogens on delivery. Charge more for your labour by a little bit. Or just raise your delivery fee. Very cool business. You could also deliver equipment with a different trailer.
Man! I've been dreaming about getting something going like trailer rentals or something and now you have me wanting to just run a dump trailer like this. Super tempting!
Really like this delivery stuff over the trailer rentals to be honest. It seems like there's a lot of potential for side money or maybe even full-time stuff. I've been getting a little overwhelmed with how many responses I'm getting to some of these listings, it's wild.
Lucrative. Subbed. If I can get my private trailer rented for a while, i'll buy a propper truck and dumper trailer to do this side hustle. Thank you for sharing your experience!
A great trailer we use one where i work at. Haul alot of logs from tree removel. Just watch out for those tires. We had a belt slip on those china junk tires
Good advice! I thought about trying to do some work with trees but I haven't done anything yet. The dealership I bought the trailer from upgraded the tires to 14 ply so hopefully they'll last!
What kind of areas do you think you could get the best amount of work in with less competition, im definitely going to get get a big trailer just wondering what I should look for in an area to get more work as
Man honestly it totally depends on a lot of different factors I think. Maybe try running an marketplace ad to see how many responses you get and go from there.
@@Haroldsheavyduty nice , yeah ok I did a test Airbnb before before I set mine up same thing then . Thanks for the response brotha hope u keep killin it I’ll be checkin out your progress. Goodluck!
Yes! It was fairly straightforward I dropped the trailer off for a couple days they loaded up minus the things I don't allow and then I take it to the dump.
Hey man! Great content, I think you’re going to go far with this business and these videos. I’m in Dallas, TX and thinking about purchasing my first dump trailer as well. How are you getting clients for rock delivery? Are you using platforms like FB marketplace? Thanks for the tips. P.s. any tips for a dog that’s a sweetheart to ppl but an a-hole to other animals? 😂
Mostly through Facebook. I'll make another video here soon to show everybody how I'm doing it. Training should help your dog, you can always check out our videos @blueskycanine
Thank you so much! Honestly there was another UA-camr who was experimenting with this same thing in another state. He encouraged everybody to try this so I gave it a shot and here we are lol.
I just bought a marine grade (waterproof) solar charger with a built-in charge controller off amazon. When the trailer is plugged in to the truck it also charges the battery.
@@Haroldsheavyduty I have a 16’ gooseneck dump trailer and I just ran some SO cable and now I can plug it in to the bed of my truck outlet when hooked up. At home I plug into the wall but am looking at solar chargers
That's awesome. This one has the wall plug-in as well but I really don't find myself using it a ton since adding the solar charger. I think you'll like it.
Yes I've been thinking about that a little bit lately since I live in Colorado. I think there will be a job to do still maybe just not as much with the landscaping. Probably more hauling and renting in the winter for peoples projects. I'll have to come up with some ideas for moneymaking in the winter.
Great job, guys! Erning some money while playing mens´toys :) I wonder if it´s possible to move a mini excavator with this trailer. I think with the help of a couple of ramps it´s possible to mive in and out...
Thank you, thank you! Also, I don't see why you couldn't move a mini excavator. I've had buddies borrow my trailer to move their skid steers with no issue at all just don't know about bucket placement on the excavator.
Great video. Do you use any tyoe of payment application to take payment from customers. I see that you purchase the material upfront. Do you require the customer to pay you before picking up the material? I would love to learn more more about using Facebook for advertising this business.
I actually do the something similar here in colorado. I have the same trailer as you but I rent it out as a dumpster. Been doing it for 2 years. Have not thought about getting into product delivery. Might be something worth looking into…..do you stay busy?
That's awesome! You should try it… It keeps me busier than the rentals actually. I'm assuming more people will start to do it so there will be a little competition but right now it's great.
5 tons. My delivery fee changes depending on peoples locations. I'm still modifying this ever so slightly to figure out what the market can Support but I will go over all of this and one of the next videos
@@Haroldsheavyduty Same here just started doing this same deliveries myself. My trailer can hold 6 tons and I have been charging between $115 and $175.
Praise the lord LOL. How about praising gravity and the big bang? We can, at least, demonstrate the existence of those with evidence. Time to uncheck all my likes.

Why don't you have fuel on your expenses? Also you probably need to think about adding x amount of cents per mile for expenses like tires, oil changes, trailer maintenance?
I need to start adding it. I knew somebody was going to point that out lol and it's a good idea doing a mileage fee of some sort.

Gotta get those deductions, fuel, trailer, and mileage will cut into your bottom line reducing your tax burden big time.

Love it!
How do you price your loads? Do you up charge like 30% from whatever the load cost you from the quarry?
This is awesome I love seeing this grow
Thanks man!
I hit Sub button
As soon as I heard you gave praises to The LORD…he is good
🙏❤️
I did too too lol

if you get a junk removal job yet? curious to see how you approach a junk removal/clean up
Yes! It was fairly straightforward I dropped the trailer off for a couple days they loaded up minus the things I don't allow and then I take it to the dump.
@Haroldsheavyduty ok. I see. I thought you'd be in charge of the whole operation/project. Like hands on the loading up.

What is the gig app. How can I find the loads for pickup.
I'm releasing a video on this today
you"re doing really awesome, can you give some adv tips, thanks a lot from florida
Yes absolutely I'll make another video here soon to go over some of this
Congratulations bro and God bless 🙏👏🏼
Thank you sir!
Hey man! Love this! Just out of curiosity how'd you get this going? I'm starting my own lawn care business but this looks really cool too!
Thank you so much! Honestly there was another UA-camr who was experimenting with this same thing in another state. He encouraged everybody to try this so I gave it a shot and here we are lol.
Hey, I'm looking at a 6×10. Do you think you would not have been able to get most of the jobs you've acquired if you had a 6×10?
Depends on the weight capacity.
Thanks for the info man I’m really onto this game now I like ot
Absolutely!
Im curious which solar charger you have or how you keep your battery charged to do that many dumps per day?
I just bought a marine grade (waterproof) solar charger with a built-in charge controller off amazon. When the trailer is plugged in to the truck it also charges the battery.
@@Haroldsheavyduty I have a 16’ gooseneck dump trailer and I just ran some SO cable and now I can plug it in to the bed of my truck outlet when hooked up. At home I plug into the wall but am looking at solar chargers
That's awesome. This one has the wall plug-in as well but I really don't find myself using it a ton since adding the solar charger. I think you'll like it.
What size is the dump trailer?
7 x 14 x 3
Have you considered seasonality with this business? What will you do with the trailer in the winter?
Yes I've been thinking about that a little bit lately since I live in Colorado. I think there will be a job to do still maybe just not as much with the landscaping. Probably more hauling and renting in the winter for peoples projects. I'll have to come up with some ideas for moneymaking in the winter.

No not necessarily!

Thank you, thank you! Also, I don't see why you couldn't move a mini excavator. I've had buddies borrow my trailer to move their skid steers with no issue at all just don't know about bucket placement on the excavator.
You should only dump it partially so you can shovel from the tailgate and right into the wheelbarrow
Good idea! I'll try that in the future.
How many tons of rock can you haul?
5.5
Great video. Do you use any tyoe of payment application to take payment from customers. I see that you purchase the material upfront. Do you require the customer to pay you before picking up the material? I would love to learn more more about using Facebook for advertising this business.
I typically require a deposit. I do use Square for my payment processing. I'll go over this in a video here soon.
how did you find your first contracts?
Facebook! I'll go over this in a future video
So you deliver and install? Is it all one price?
I deliver and have started to offer installs. Installs costs extra.
I actually do the something similar here in colorado. I have the same trailer as you but I rent it out as a dumpster. Been doing it for 2 years. Have not thought about getting into product delivery. Might be something worth looking into…..do you stay busy?
That's awesome! You should try it… It keeps me busier than the rentals actually. I'm assuming more people will start to do it so there will be a little competition but right now it's great.
@@Haroldsheavyduty I'd love to network sometime! Perhaps even do a ride-along if your ok with that.! Let me know.
How do you charge for delivery? Per mile or a flat fee?
It depends. I've had so much feedback and people wanting to learn how to do this so I will make a full video on this
How many tons can your trailer hold? What are you charging for these deliveries? I am out of Arizona
5 tons. My delivery fee changes depending on peoples locations. I'm still modifying this ever so slightly to figure out what the market can Support but I will go over all of this and one of the next videos
@@Haroldsheavyduty Same here just started doing this same deliveries myself. My trailer can hold 6 tons and I have been charging between $115 and $175.
The most beautiful view in Colorado is in a landfill in the FOOTHILLS?!?!
😢😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was not a landfill lol
I not hating on you but...... Everything is great till something goes wrong ......
DOT numbers..... DOT Enforcement...... Commercial Insurance......
Got it all covered!
Dump trucks don't make $1000 a day,notice how there always dumping on a flat road driveway etc very misleading
I've had many $1000 days so no… Not very misleading.
Praise the lord LOL. How about praising gravity and the big bang? We can, at least, demonstrate the existence of those with evidence. Time to uncheck all my likes.
❤️ lots of love even if you're petty.
@@Haroldsheavyduty LOL 💙😎👍
There’s a lot of resentment in your heart for a God you don’t believe in.
@@therealjclap Nahh not at all. Just glad to have the life I live. No money problems, good health, and plenty more for which to be grateful.
Glad its working out for you guys
