Nothing but respect for self-made businesses, built up with nothing but hard work and a lot of guts to eventually take the step. They make for the greatest stories.
Just started my own mobile Mechanic business. It was a leap of faith for sure! But hands down most rewarding thing I've done this far. Thanks for the motivation rabbit!
Best of luck to you Christina! Bad times will pop their ugly head up from time to time. The best thing to try to do is to own them and keep moving before they own you. I hope you achieve every bit of success you've ever hoped for!
If he has 4 trucks he has made dam good money. Those trucks are not cheap. Good for that guy. He is living the American dream! I love seeing people do what seems to be the impossible. Keep doing you man and I’m glad you have a son that is willing to work in the company so you can hand it down to him. But don’t let him forget where it started from. Good luck guy.
Man the walking mans friend got me my grandfather used to run a used and classic car business back in the day and that’s what they called him was the walking mans friend he had hats and business cards that had that saying thanks for the video 😀
Rabbit, just another reason I love watching you and how you have a GUT feeling about people. I love seeing how excited you get when someone takes your advice and makes a name for themselves. You give great advice and another person says. Reach one, pull the next person up and teach one.
I grew up in rural SE Indiana, one of those places that didn't have city trash pick up. But there was a guy who would pick up your trash weekly. When we moved there in the late 70s he had a 7 or 8 year old Chevy 1 ton dually with a big plywood box on the back. It wasn't a dump bed, so whatever he threw in the truck he had to throw out. During the summer his son would help out, but for the first 15 years we lived there it was a one man operation. By about 83 he had done well enough to buy a real garbage truck, used, but in good shape. By 88 he had two trucks and 3 employees. He had a contract with the county by 1990 and is still active in the business today, though his son does the day to day.
God damn I needed this! I’m self employed and I’ve been thinking about walking away, but you’re right there’s no better feeling than being self employed!
Rob, we’re the same age and personality wise we have alot in common. I dig listening to you chat while I detail cars. I’m always glad to hear you’re doing good and can tell your hearts in the right place. Best wishes.👍🏽
Great Story !! I too started a small construction business in 1985 w/ an old $650 1965 Ford F-100 p/u as my first work truck. 9 months later got a 1985 F-150. From there on the sky was the limit. I ended up w/ a fleet of E-150 cargo vans to haul all my tools to build houses. All it takes is a will to work HARD and put out the absolute best end product for what ever you offer. I'm retired now with my end work featured in Better Homes and Gardens, Southern Living and other Home Builder magazines.
Went from part time to full time reselling after an career ending injury at my job of 26 years. I went from thrift stores to auctions and storage auctions and because of my work ethic I fell into Junk Removal (get stuff to sell for free and get paid on top of it) and was fairly successful from it. Even with the headaches of owning a business I would never want to work for someone else again !!!
Great story Rabbit! I had an old fellow I looked up to give me some business advice. He said “if you ain’t doing something for yourself, you ain’t doing nothing”. I took what I learned, started working for myself, and never looked back!
Another great story! This especially hits home as I started doing dealership recon work out of the back of a $3,000 2004 F150 with 211k on it at the time. 7 years later my business has become successful and I have newer trucks but still own that 04.
Love a story like that. Through a good idea and the willingness to put in hard work a guy completely changed his World around. I get excited like I actually had something to do with it lol. Awesome to hear a story like that. Hopefully one day I will have a similar story on this channel. Thanks for the videos.
You helped me get motivated to finally get my shit together man. Starting my new job as head of detailing in a month or two. You're a true mentor to me.
Love your stories. My husband is wondering if the license plates with "Sold" on them are ever going to be for sale? He comments every time we watch about how he would love to have one for his garage wall.
As a felon myself and just started my LLC this year for my own business this def gave me chills. It’s def possible to overcome things from past poor choices. Love to see and hear it. Great video as always rabbit
Rob you have motivated me & helped fuel my fire for my car grooming business here in Nelson New Zealand! Thanks Edward Molloy Simple Clean Car Grooming.
Not sure when I'm going to meet you but I will because I love cars and your stories. When I do meet you, I'm going to say "Rob Pitts!". Daytona Beach Turkey Run 2021 ready to have some car fun!
This is one of my favorite vids I’ve seen on the ruc…and I’ve seen them all. This is real. I like your genuine approach. Not that you aren’t usually genuine , this seemed a little more personal. Love ya stories man! Keep up the good work and happy thanksgiving !
Love a great come up story! Another excellent one RABBIT and The RUC! You may not think the channel is inspirational, but you are yourself! You are the type to bring a man up not hold them down! As always I appreciate the content! -🤘
Good for you sometime it takes just one lil break in the clouds where someone can step into the sun and good for him for having the courage to make it happen great story.
As long as your business is built on hard work and gives a service thats worth its asking price and benifits the community it doesnt matter if it comes with the title of trash man cause you can be proud to hold that title
Damn Rabbit, I want to buy a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner from you. Nothing to fancy, would like a big block, 4 speed pistol grip and high back bucket seats would be perfect. 6'5".... North Florida so not that far and I was just in your area seeing the fall colors back in Oct.
Great show my brother!..is that a 64 Caddy coupe Deville behind you sir if so that was my first Caddy bought in Fort lauderdale back in 1978 i have the same story on that car like your white corvette story love it…TCB
I'm mechanic I may not remember every person but I remember every car and I see them going down the road. It makes me happy to know I did that. So I can understand that car is something important it's how a person gets to work or a way a person gets their sick family member to and from the hospital vehicles are freedom but they are also a tool to take care of the people we love
We share the belief that the experience of buying an item should be as enjoyable as having and using the item. Buying a car should be more fun than going to the DMV.
Another excellent video that reminds me why i follow your channel Rob. Good people encourage other people to be/do better A good boss encourages his/her employees to excel. A bad person puts people down to try to have 1 up on them. A bad boss is like a leach sucking life energy from his/her employees so he/she can look good or gain a (perceived ) advantage. It reminds me of the concept of kharma. If you do good some day it will come back to you in some way or form. If you do bad things the same applies.
just think had rabbit not helped him out with the truck wonder if he would be were hes at today? iv heard plenty of rabbit stories like these you dont relies how many people you touch until like this guy they run into by chance and tell you
I love it when you go, I'm gonna stop this story to tell you another story. LOLs... I hear you say that and think, Of course you are Rob... BTW I'da dumped the chic and taken your Dad's offer on the new Corvette. Ha Ha!!!

I agree fully
I can appreciate people who build their own empire over some trust baby who claims he build from 0
The best part of the story is Mr. F150 moved beyond his former mistake in life and created a business along the self esteem. Well told story Rabbit

Outstanding story Mr. P
Looks like a beautiful 64 Cadi in the background there @Rob !! Beautiful car from what we can see!!
Man the walking mans friend got me my grandfather used to run a used and classic car business back in the day and that’s what they called him was the walking mans friend he had hats and business cards that had that saying thanks for the video 😀
Rabbit, you are are doing it right. Keep up the good work.
Awesome video
That's badass! Great story,
Rip Rabbit
Rabbit, just another reason I love watching you and how you have a GUT feeling about people. I love seeing how excited you get when someone takes your advice and makes a name for themselves. You give great advice and another person says. Reach one, pull the next person up and teach one.
Heck yeah that Story made my day good for you and good for him also both of you have blessings coming
That is so true just lost my friend Peter corrnet drummer for a band called floater and riverboat here in Oregon he was the best and very humble
This is one of THE best episodes of RUC! Rest In Peace Robert “Rabbit” Pitts! It’s people like you that made & make this world a better place. ✌️💙⚡️

I LOVE SUCCESS 🤓🇺🇸👍 Welcome to AMERICA
Thank you for all your post. I work with my dad everyday at his bbq barn that he opened and I love it. I work with him and one of my best friends.
Rob, we’re the same age and personality wise we have alot in common. I dig listening to you chat while I detail cars.
I’m always glad to hear you’re doing good and can tell your hearts in the right place. Best wishes.👍🏽
Great story Rob, once again it shows you hard work pays off and being good to people is never a bad thing.
Great story!!! The best people are the ones doing the dirty jobs!
Rabbit smooth touch would probably buy and sell my dad's his entire car collection for profit with his smoothness and charm.
Great Story !! I too started a small construction business in 1985 w/ an old $650 1965 Ford F-100 p/u as my first work truck. 9 months later got a 1985 F-150. From there on the sky was the limit.

God I could listen to this guy talk for hours and probably have without realizing it.

Thank you so much for your knowledge

I wanted to tell a joke about trash but it was garbage. RIP Rob "Rabbit" Pitts😇
It’s crazy how Rob remembers everything
I'm mechanic I may not remember every person but I remember every car and I see them going down the road. It makes me happy to know I did that. So I can understand that car is something important it's how a person gets to work or a way a person gets their sick family member to and from the hospital vehicles are freedom but they are also a tool to take care of the people we love
I freaking love this dude
I am sad I can leave only one like.
I know about wanting to throw your hands up and walk away.. Been there dun dat!! But at the end of the day, it was all worth it
Well he doesnt pick up in BARNWELL SC. Mama is still driving the bags down to the dump! Lol.
RIP Rabbit ❤🐰👍🏻🇺🇸
Come back in a couple years when you sell that man his first collector car! Happy thanksgiving y’all!
6:12 had me laughing especially because I sell cars😂 if we see an Uber pull up to the dealership everyone fights over helping them
If you're reading this and haven't subscribed yet.. Go ahead, what are you waiting for?
Ahhh was expecting rob to say he bought them dinner lol,
We share the belief that the experience of buying an item should be as enjoyable as having and using the item. Buying a car should be more fun than going to the DMV.
This one hit
That’s awesome
Dang, I only pay $45/quarter for my trash pickup from a large company with a lot of costs. This guy made an absolute killing!
You the man rabb
Another excellent video that reminds me why i follow your channel Rob.
Good people encourage other people to be/do better
A good boss encourages his/her employees to excel.
A bad person puts people down to try to have 1 up on them.
A bad boss is like a leach sucking life energy from his/her employees so he/she can look good or gain a (perceived ) advantage.
It reminds me of the concept of kharma. If you do good some day it will come back to you in some way or form. If you do bad things the same applies.
Rabbit is the effin’ truth!
just think had rabbit not helped him out with the truck wonder if he would be were hes at today?
