I Rent Everything I Own to Strangers: A Day in the Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2023
- I've literally built my business around renting everything I own. It works out well because I try to own things that make money on their own, but then can be rented when I'm not using them. Renting out trucks, trailers, apartments, dumpsters, and equipment is a smart way to maximize the use of your assets and generate income.
All of these things are part of different industries, but I've managed to comingle then within one brand! Thus maximizes the profitable outcome.
But this is what a day looks like, trying to keep up with it all.
Diversify for success. Delivery and pick up satisfies customers. Still glad you are in a place with opportunity for a younger entrepreneur.
Appreciate you!
What would make me mad would be you brushing the dirt off the tractor in the street in front of the house when you could've did it in the yard and the customer didn't have to clean the street up after you left.
Yea, someone already mentioned that. I can't film every moment of my day. I spent the next 8 minutes sweeping it out of the street. So don't cancel me over it.
@@rollingops Awesome! Keep up the good work
@@greghenner4978 appreciate you sir
🤣@@rollingops
A cordless blower or small gas handheld would definitely come in handy for the loose dirt and misc cleanup before loading for transport. Great Vid! Keep up the hustle my friend!
Ah, good idea! I'll think about adding that! Appreciate you!
*you know you live in a small town when* ~ casually joy rides skid down the street 🤣
Haha absolutely!
I'm near DFW and just had my first two customers for my new equipment rental business. Kubota U10-5. I'm very much inspired by your channel and i really appreciate how you use it as one of your accountability tools. Keep it up. I'm watching!
There is a dumpster conference coming up about 30 min from you in November! You should check it out. I think I'll be making my way down for it. Hosted by @americanafdumpsters
Can you please send the info you have for the conference? TIA@@rollingops
I just came across your video! Keep up the great work bro! I’m new too the stump grinding business. This was my first year all i did was rent it but next year I’m buying my first one! Starting off small 362 vermeer! I work full time at americold logistics! The grind don’t stop!💪🏻 Your video definitely motivated me even harder
Dude! That sounds sick! Congrats. I know a few guys who have built some nice business just doing that! I'd like to add one to my rental fleet, because they are so handy! But a lot of liability when lending them out. Keep me posted on the business! And keep grinding, hope the videos help even a little.
thanks for the video. One of my new favorite channels, people, and businesses.
Wow, I really appreciate that! No pressure! Seeesh
I enjoyed your video. You hustle for sure. I have a KX 040 as well and love it. I noticed that at 5:31 you ran a chain through the loop under the machine. I did this once until I read in the manual that this is not to be used as a tie down point. Its used for towing only. Maybe its not as re-enforced as the other tie down points?(blade and loop each side of the tracks) Keep up the good work!
Holy shiz nite! Thanks for letting me know, I was unaware. Normally they have stickers when they don't want you doing that. Appreciate the heads up!
Hey Clayton, would like to see a video of you cleaning up the skid and excavator with a pressure washer or however you get that done! Thanks, enjoyed this video and can't wait to see what happens to the big dump truck, I'm sure you have some cool plans for it soon! Brian
I just put one out with the mini getting cleaned, jope you like it!
Do you have a rental contract, if so Id love an example... getting into the business this year, trying to get ideas for the contract. Keep up the grind!
i love your channel, i want to see your day to day work, and all your projects, i myself like a channel that mixes it up and films different stuff in their hussle
We will try to keep them up!
Instantly tell that was a Cummins when the video opened. Love my 6.7 Cummins it's just a towing monster.
That 6.7 tows like a monster!
Ive been thinking about trying small equipment rental in my area, there used to be a rental place but the guy retired and closed up. Theres only 1 equipment rental place (a hardware store) within a 30mile radius then you get to the bigger cities with united rentals . Im nervous about the competition out there, whats your thoughts on the big rental yards? Again people in this area have to drive along way to get to them and if they deliver they charge an insane amount! I already have a dump trailer i rent from time to time
I just sold that same truck, 1999 2nd gen. Can't kill those motors! Only had 104k miles but they were working miles the whole time. I bought it from the City of Miami after they drove the hell out of it. They aren't fast with a little over 200hp but 400+lbs of torque will pull whatever
Yea, they won't go anywhere quick, but you're right, the pure torque is where it is at!!
i did indeed take the second to subscribe👌👌good content
Appreciate you!
Proud of you for being a man who works hard and smart.
Keep it up.
Appreciate you!
Keep up the hustle brother. I run a swimming pool business in Louisville KY 👊🏻
That's awesome, I'd love to learn more about pool digging!
Your bucket or any attachment needs to have securement. You can’t rely on hydraulics to lock it in. I’m not an expert, some one did post where you can find the regs.
I def need to get the bucket tied down
Nice! I like the dumpster rental idea, but can't quite get me head around the equipment rental. How many repair / damage issues do you think are in the future? How do you write the policy to manage user neglect and intentional misuse? Fun Video and probably the best helper you can find! 👍😁
It's actually a bit more profitable. People rent the machine and the over head I have from "dumping" and all the fuel and employee time isn't there. The start up cost is just higher. And the maintaince is more on a schedule. So I get hit with overhead in "batches" of maintenance or repair. But repairs are passed to on the customer usually. So it works out well. But definitely a different beast and stress.
My advice on the F750........put a hook-lift on it and start hauling 30 yard dumpsters. Just a thought.
Thanks for doing the videos!
I def had the idea of a roll off, but a hooklift....dang that would be cool
Been watching your channel since the dumpster days. 😄
Just wanted to say: You should really consider at least 4 points of tie down when securing a load. Not only is it a dot rule but furthermore in the event of a collision 4 points will keep the equipment attached to the trailer. 3 points has the potential to shift and exceeding impact force of chains/binders. The worse case scenario being you becoming liable for damage or injury even if the accident wasnt your fault.
(I say at least 4 points because a trackhoe techicailly needs 5. 4x to secure the machine & 1x to secure the boom)
Always 4 points 👍
Under 10k it's 3 point's on the carriage. One through the loop and each corner on the blade, then one on the boom. You are correct...the blade was chained wrong.
Either way, sounds like I need to do better with the chains!
@MarksInTimePhotography respectfully that is incorrect, you're stating general load rules. Although a trackhoe or as DOT refers to it, an articulating hydraulic shovel is a special load. Furthermore, indirect/transverse tie-downs (attached to the trailer, through/over load, and back to the trailer) should only be applied when using staps. An anchor (a single point fixed to the equipment) is always required when using chains and binders to be considered a tie down.
Finally, as I briefly stated in my last comment, according to DOT, the hydraulic shovel should be lowered completely (wrap in and lowered) and then secured by chain or strap to prevent the load from unintentionally articulating.
In conclusion, 4+ points. Always.
@rollingops I'm not trying to be "that guy" in your comments. But as a fellow business owner, I appreciate when my peers offer experienced suggestions
man i been waiting for your video for 8 days, bro!
Haha really? It's been a crazy couple days, but has been hard to stop and film, sorry to keep you waiting! This one is more of a day in the life, nothing crazy 🤪
@andysu5243 been waiting with you!
New to the channel, looking at getting into the equipment rental game up in NW Ontario. Trying to fill a void. 🍻
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching the hustle. Good stuff!!!
Appreciate it!!
I started out with a Dumptrailer in February, I just purchase the ironbull roll off setup with two 16ft bins.
@@zackdempster493 nice man! Grind it out, and push forward 💪
Granby, CO round 2 with that skid on the road
I own some rental equipment also and was wondering what insurance you use
Great video, I heard your coming out to Texas in November. Can’t wait to meet you.
Do tell!
I think that's the plan! Hope to see you there!
Yep, American AF is hosting something in Rhome Texas near DFW. I got word of it, commuting to it as long as nothing pops up!
Great content man. Been watching all your videos. I have around 35 cans and 2 trucks and building new used one now. Maybe sell older one. Would love to learn more about rental equipment business. Kinda scary renting machines out. Have you gotten over those fears? Thanks
Yep! I had to get over the idea of someone breaking a machine, because it's bound to happen!
@@rollingops would love it if you do a video on your rental process and what you have for legal paperwork for customer to sign. Thanks
How do you like your newer dodge 3500 for towing the maxxd setup? I have an older 3500 I currently am running but on the hunt for another truck so I have a backup. Great stuff been following you since the beginning.
It's been worth every penny. It is above what I need, but is very comfortable, I'm never worried towing like I may be towing with a smaller truck.
This guy is a proof of why in the age of AI and machine learning having a blue collar lifestyle can be super fulfilling, satisfying and effortless... and the message of uncapped income potential and being the boss or captain of your ship... Great insightful video... Thanks for sharing... Cheers
Age of ai 😂
I appreciate that! I am doing my best to out hustle the rest, but what it if I told you, I used AI to write the title and description for this video? I also use it to help advertise my business. Is that OK? It seems to be helping! Utilizing the tools at my disposal.
Great videos!!
Glad you like them! Appreciate you
Thank goodness he told you the right address this time for the pickup 😂
Christ. I forgot to mention that part 😅
Hey man love the energy. I need to buy trailer for my business roll off trailer what you recommend?
So many factors, if I was starting over I would say a standard rail trailer. A lot of others will tell you the same. But the MAXXD quality has been super good to me. And they just came out with a product that allows you to add their size rails on the rear of a truck! So, I could see myself sticking with them a while
How do you like your Load Trail
trailer. I’m looking at buying a gooseneck trailer next year.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us !
It's fantastic, I love it. I may be looking to get the exact same one but with larger axles, only so I can move 2 pieces of equipment at a time. But if I only had one machine. I could justify this trailer forever! It's been really good to me. If you look back at old videos, I move my shipping containers with it too.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate seeing someone with dreams and a strong work ethic !
Hey Clayton, nice video, quick question, I understand the logistics, but why was the grapple left at the rental building when you must have been using the skid, so wouldn't you normally just load those up together and head back to the shop? Thanks, Brian
Normally, yes! But oddly enough, at this job. Someone met me to pick the machine up for a rental. And they grabbed the machine, and we left the grapple there. Sounds odd, but my business can get very mobile. And this has happened several times. I even bring a cleaning kit with me, in case I need to clean a machine on the fly. Along with grease and some other odds and ends. Which is basically what happened here. The guy needed to leave town with the machine at 6am. I met him where it sat, had it cleaned and filed with fuel right before. He signed the contract, paid, and then I loaded his trailer! Other times, I'll have jobs where I only need the machine, and I'll leave attachments at other sites if we aren't quite done, but may be at a stand still. It comes with the territory of renting out equipment that we also use for our own jobs!
@@rollingops Makes perfect sense Clayton, sounds like it happens more often that I would have expected, but you just roll with it! Thanks, Brian
Nice graphics on the truck! How many dumpsters do you have now?
We own 10, but service 12. Rent between 40-60 a month
A nice crew cab f350 work/personal truck for you is needed in the near future!
Orrrrr a 1973 Ford F750 daily driver. 😄🤣
What happens if they damage it. If they have to pay for repairs can they get insurance
I get to charge them, and If they have insurance they better have a good explanation lol
Do you find yourself doing your own maintenance or what are you experiencing cost wise if you're outsourcing it?
I try to do as much as I can, until I get into transmissions. With family life, I typically can't get into jobs that involve removing transmissions or motors. And getting back on the road in a reasonable time frame
What insurance you recommend
What a motivation video....
For real?
Looks like you need the dump truck running... Looks like the first rental guy needs a load of concrete hauled away and maybe some dirt.
It sure would help!
Maybe broom the machine off on the grass and not the road lol
Lol, yea. I spent another 8 min off camera cleaning that up!
@@rollingops Yeah, all of the video's I've ever seen Clayton in, he's very conscientious about cleaning up and trying to leave properties just like he found them and even the highway spill container, he goes the extra mile to ensure he picks up everything! Well done Clayton! He truly gets that his brand is his reputation and he's sort of old school like that, which is great, he also goes the extra mile to clean the products he rents, he wants to be the best at everything and it certainly shows!
@@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602 really appreciate this comment!
neighbors about to lay er down
@@rollingopswhich website are you using to rent things out
4:30 get a cheap little battery blower to blast that dirt off faster than the broom
Good idea!
And don’t do it in the street
How’s that 2nd gen been treating you? I have a 99 manual. These autos are so cheap but I hear they have issues. Have you had any tranny issues ever? Is it a stock transmission or built?
I'm knocking on wood. But this thing has been a tank, and anytime it has given me trouble, I have it back to snuff with a trip to orileys, a couple hours, couple beers and couple choice words. But really has been a beast. I will say, based on a few others I've driven, I am starting to think she may have a built trans and clutch, just based on 1-2 others I've driven. But it came to me like that.
@@rollingops nice! That’s great. Same here. Sensor here and there, radiator, belts, maintenance. They are 20-25 years old. I dig the prices of the autos. Just wonder how they are when towed with weekly
@@chadjelliston5652 it's been good to me!
Sweet graffics on the 2nd gen. Glad you’re busy but ease up on the caffeine 🤣
Hahaha could you tell it was my 3rd one?
@@rollingops no not at all😉
aside from all the other information, i always wonder how people can drink an 8.4oz redbull, i need it by the gallon to survive lol
Lol you got that right. 3 or so a day, I might as well
So how do you contract with the renters if it was damaged?
They pay a "self insurance fee" anything that is past that amount is on them
@@rollingops here in NH when you rent, you don’t pay insurance on a machine unless the machine you rent is over 10,000lbs so the KX040 is the largest kubota. Renting a machine over 10,000lbs there is a small insurance fee in addition to the rental. What that covers is any damage over $1,000 you pay a $1,000 deductible. Even if the machine is totaled while renting you pay $1,000 deductible and the rest is covered by the rental company. I found all this out while searching for insurance to see if it made more sense to get rental insurance on my policy or use the rental companies insurance. Insurance companies by default write up all policies with $100,000 rental coverage. But because the insurance ultimately is only to cover. $1,000 deductible it makes no sense. I opted for the lowest rental coverage on my policy which is $50,000 minimum and it dropped the insurance from around $2,500 to around $1,200 per year. If I rent a 057 or 080 I will just pay the rental company insurance because it will be much cheaper. I know for a whole week rental the insurance cost added to the rental price is like $285 bucks.
Do you have an overview video on the upgrades you've made to the 2nd gen?
Dang, I don't think so. I think I have done a couple additions to the truck spread between 3-4 vids 🤔
This might be one where I cover a bit about what the truck has done. But it's not much! ua-cam.com/video/c7oLeWVYG00/v-deo.htmlsi=mykSVxM6Z4AZCi4J
Only reason I asked is because I have a 2nd gen 3500 with the auto - looking at some of the supporting mods for towing more than 12k @@rollingops
@@MrGusthepickle radiator was a big one for me. Had to keep my Temps down for long hauls
That's definitely first on my list, probably the Valve reinforcement for the 47RE after that. Might even bite the bullet and do a NV5600 swap just to put my mind at ease. Appreciate your videos, I'm going to be doing the same up in the mountains in Colorado. @@rollingops

We don’t rent out trailers and equipment for people to just sit in it and or stair at it.
It'd be nice if they did....
Why not? Less wear & tear but you get the same rental rates!
How much do you get more it per week
The mini? A weekly rental is about $1200. But I also have a 1 day and 3 day price

We have 10, but do about 40-60 rentals per month. It's all about turnover
