Hey Dirt. Thanks for posting this. UA-cam needs more tradesmen showing HOW to start businesses. That's what I do with my channel - how to start nursery businesses from nothing. Kudos to you, young man. As you go along with your channel, I'm not sure what direction you're wanting to go, but TEACHING your audience what you're doing is much more valuable to them than entertaining them. I like this video a lot.
You need to check with your state first. Many states require an apprentice time. This means you have to go work full time for someone else first before you can apply for a contractor license, get insurance and the rest of the red tape.
I’ve never heard of that before. As long as you get the proper licensing (if you even need it) you’re good to go to work. All I had to do was start an LLC and I started my interior demo business
I'm a retired dirt man. The very best advice I can give you as an inspiring young man is to get acquainted with the equipment rental companies in your area. Even huge companies do this. They can contract a job then with one phone call have the equipment delivered. You will always have dependable equipment without the payments and upkeep. There really is no down side. In time you will learn what equipment you will need to own as the ones you rent over and over you'll need to purchase. Plus you will have a clientele and income history all the while building your credit. Hope you kill it in your aspirations.
@homesteadbarron There's plenty of downside to renting equipment. For starters it's an inconvenience. The you're pressed for time because the longer you have it the more you owe so If anything goes wrong on a jobsite rental costs can really add up.

What do you do for marketing/finding jobs?
I asked before I finished your video. Thanks for talking about it
Do you need dot numbers for your setup? Great video Btw!
No I don’t. Thank you
Get a dump truck . In my opinion it's better than a dump trailer.
Yeah your right but there are also more expenses fuel insurance maintenance etc. will definitely be on the list of things to purchase though.
