Those 14ply commercial tires are calling your Name lol.
Amen! Those are definitely the next times I'm buying 🤣💪
Start delivering top soil,mulch,rock sand,fill dirt and start doing driveway repairs spreading rock doing pad builds use your machines use google ads 2 times a week create a website market yourself with other jobs than junk removal so when your slow your good.
Yessir! I do all that, except the Google ads. I'm hustling as hard as I can 💪
I appreciate the feedback 🫡 🙏
Love your channel! You are killing it!! Bit of advice on that lock system on your coupler set up, A shady person could have those two 1/2 inch bolts out of the coupler , throw your whole coupler and lock in the woods and have a new one on in 4 minutes the bolts are the weakest link my friend…
Thanks man. I appreciate the support!🫡
Yep, that's exactly how easy it is to steal em. I'm in the works of getting some new s5 locks, and those hide the bolts!!
@@JackofHaulTrades Andre, just one more piece of advice coming from a security mindset which is to blur your license plates. Other than that, your videos have improved dramatically with your Gopro camera.
@balamala2647 I appreciate the advice, brother but it's too late. My numbers have been all over the internet since I started this business. Thank you for the feedback 🙏🫡
@@JackofHaulTrades Your phone numbers are one thing but your address is another thing that can be accessed.
GoPro is a great addition to the channel. Video quality is greatly improved. I like how you keep it OG with the phone!
Remember, if you rent a car and bring it back damaged, they charge you. If you rent a truck and bring it back damaged, they charge you! I get that they may be friends or family or someone you want tk help out, but if you're clear and consistent, and they are truly your friends, thrn they will understand and pay for damages. Otherwise, you dont want them in your sphere because they are taking advantage of you anyway!
The more you let slide the worst it will get and the harder it will be to reverse course!
Keep hustling my dude!
#littlejunkers #dumpsterrentals #
You are right brother from now on everyone is paying for damages! I appreciate the feedback my friend 💪🫡
That dump hole was awesome! Keep going back there it’s just fear push threw that place is awesome for videos
Haha, just because of you I'll keep going back there! I appreciate the support brother 🫡
Exactly why I took my 10 ply tires off my heavy duty trailers.
They blowout easily & pick up to mean screws / sharp objects.
14 & 16 ply tires for our industry are a must! I haven't had to change out tires yet in over 2 years.
Also, only plugged two tires in two years (no leaks)!
To to hear brother! My 14 ply tires are holding up great. I gotta put them on my older trailers as well :) 💪
Bro you NEED to start charging these peeps for damaging your equipment. Your current business model is NOT sustainable with people busting up your money makers. You work hard and have nice stuff, others just don't care and they will understand that you won't charge them for damage and it will keep getting worse.
Yessir. You are right...I just feel bad for them when damages happen accidentally and stuff. But at the same time, if it's not my accident I shouldn't be the one paying for the repair bill.
Totally agree. What's the point in having a business if you got to put all the money you make back into repairs. Need to take pictures before folks pick it up or do a walk around. ❤
@user-rz6wj5is8p Yessir, you are right! Thank you for the feedback 🫡💯
Really enjoy your channel. We run a small business too and have been asked several times if we would rent out a trailer. We always refuse and now, i can refer people to watch your channel to understand why we dont. Never know if someone knows how to load or pull a trailer and i dont think most people have any concept of how much things weigh.
I appreciate the support my friend! Thank you for the comment ❤️🫡
Had my helper damage the back door on my van backing up a trailer. He had the door open and it wedged into the trailer. It happens. When I bought my trailer, I didn't know how to back one up. Had to learn on the fly by myself. I am pretty good at it now.
My dump just increased their prices too. Went up $20 bucks!
I like using my phone too. I bought a GoPro last year, haven't used it yet, but probably gonna start. Good video, thanks for sharing. Have a great 4th bro!
Oh man 20 bucks is steep. What are you paying a ton? Put that go pro to work 💪
Happy 4th to you as well brother 🫡🙏
@JackofHaulTrades Thanks. Was paying $42, now it's $60. Not as bad as others have it, but still. So I just raised my full load price $50 to $550.
@krakenjunkremoval man, I'm at $70 plus you have it good out in Tennessee. Keep hustling brother 💪🫡
@JackofHaulTrades Thanks brother, you as well. God bless!
I like the GoPro angles!!
Bro, why aren’t you using the SM100 to pick up the trailer instead of that jack. Smarter not harder 😂
I appreciate the feedback boss man! 🫡💪
Good to see you trying different ways to put money In yo pocket stay up G … keep grinding 🧐 it’s never easy
I appreciate the support brother! I hope your business is killing it!🙏💪
I’m just here to tell you I really admire and appreciate you so much brother 👊🏾 had a rough couple days at work but seeing your videos always puts a huge smile on my face 💯
You da man! I appreciate every comment you leave brother! It's always good to hear from you 👊
It be like that sometimes, but we just gotta keep hustling... you will love one of the next videos. I did a nice tree job with Hammer and got some decent go pro footage 🫡🙏
@@JackofHaulTrades you know when you, hammer and tree work in same sentence it will be 🔥🔥🔥
@darwindropmazda you already know it boss! Hammer overheated he had to go in his truck and run the AC 🤣
@@JackofHaulTrades Wow…can’t wait to see that! It has been too hot and summer just started a week ago 🥵
@darwindropmazda it was the hottest day GA had this year, and of course we had helmets on 🤣
Man, great video but it sucks to see you keep having issues hopefully your luck turns around soon. God bless.
I appreciate the support brother! I hope so, too 🙏
God bless you as well man 🫡
One thing after another with the trailers. At least it’s minor things that can be fixed with a hammer and welder.
Keep those videos coming bro!
Yeah, it sure is nice when it's something simple 🤣....Will do brother as long as y'all keep on watching! 🫡💪
I've rented stuff a few times. Most all was in poor condition when I rented it. I learned decades ago never never never buy former rental equipment at auction. If a rental company is getting rid of it it's completely wore out and probably non repairable.
Yes, it's very hard to get a good deal from these rental companies because everyone abuses it on every rental...
@@JackofHaulTrades I'm the exception. I treat rental equipment better than my own. Repaired several items to get through what I rented it for. Told the rental companies and always got a thank you and discount.
@amossnowdaharleyman9179 good things happen to good people 🤝
Was the tire blow out on that Chinese tire you purchased? When I saw that video, that’s the first thing I thought about. Keep it going though, you’re killing it.
The tire blowout was not from one of those tires. I have a video on the enclosed trailer blowout check it out! I appreciate the support brother 🫡🙏
My boi getting it done! Great video to watch while eating my lunch !
Got to man. Ayee! I appreciate the support, my guy. I love watching UA-cam when I eat as well 🤣
Haven’t watch the whole video yet so you may mention it or something like it but I’d recommend getting a head mount for the go pro and not just the chest mount. That way if you’re looking at someone to the side of something, and talking to them, we can see them and we’re just looking straight on. Also, I would say it’s easier to see what you’re doing with your hands a lot of the time. Either mount is great though. Love the content!
I appreciate the feedback brother! Yeah, I got a head mount as well. But I have been using the chest mount more it feels more secure on it 😂
But yeah it gets much better footage on the head mount. Thank you for the support 💪🫡
@@JackofHaulTrades absolutely! Totally get it for comfort. Totally up to you. Just figured I’d throw out some ideas
@@drewforce76 🫡
you may need to adjust your trailer brake strength depending on if the trailer is loaded or empty, i've had trailers that will skid the front tires if they are empty and the trail brake is turned up. Makes me think thats what it could be if it happened to both sides.
I adjust my breaks multiple times a day. Check out this video, and you will see what happened to that trailer :/ ua-cam.com/video/IAD17gpZhGw/v-deo.htmlsi=deTjbXzhhAuLnrf7
You got me saying “it be what it be” 😂
Hey, it's better than saying curse words! 🤣💪
Hello just subscribed we conversed a bit on Daniels dumpsters live. Just checking out your channel liking what i see 💪💪
Hey boss! Thanks for the sub 🫡
I think you will like the channel 💪

I appreciate the feedback brother! 🫡
Hey Andre. I work in the equipment rental business. Couple of things I would like to suggest.
1. Charge for delivery. Create a radius from your place. Example: $25 up to 15 miles, $35 15-30, $50 30- 40….etc. Have to charge for your time, gas, wear and tear on your truck. You can offer that they can come pick it up if they don’t want to pay for delivery. Even the pizza place charges for delivery!
2. Charge for damages, and markup your parts. Be competitive on your shop rate and maybe only markup your parts only 10%.
3. Take pictures. When you are sending the customer pictures of the delivery, send them 4. All four sides. Same for equipment. When you pick up, IF there are damages, take pictures! Send to the customer with a note saying: Will assess the damage and send the our invoice when repairs complete. Our shop rate is: $0.00 per hour.
4. Add the dumping fee on your invoice. Not if you get charged a flat rate for junk or is it by weight? Either way, whatever you are charged, pass that along. You can even take a picture of the receipt. I didn’t hear you say it, so you might be doing it already.
5. I know one of the tires was your fault, but you absolutely need to charge for tires. If there’s a flat then you just charge the cost to repair the flat. Tire can’t be fixed, charge a percentage of the new tire, especially if it had already been patched, was pretty old and only half tread left. If it was new..sorry Mr. Customer, full price.
6. Create a quick “sell sheet” for your business. Something that you can show what you do and on the bottom you can put your delivery rates, shop rate per hour, list of things you rent. If you are sending customers quotes make sure you have your delivery rate in there and a footnote what the shop rate is for damages and parts are extra.
Rentals can be a good business. Don’t nickel and dime your customers, which you already know. But also don’t let your kindness cost you money, it should make you money. Keep at it Andre, you’re ambitious and hard working.
I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to write this comment good sir! You are definitely an expert in this field 🫡💪
Agree with everything but the tires. Tires are wear and tear items. Don't charge customers for things they cannot control and are normal maintenance items.
@JeremyLuebke thank you for sharing your opinion on it boss 🫡
@@JeremyLuebke tires are always a sticky situation but charging for flat repairs was quite easy and never had a customer challenge it. I compare it to a rental car. If you get a flat they want you to pay for it. It’s not mandatory for sure, just one of those things that adds up over time. I get it for sure. Somethings are not easy to charge for and building relationships absolutely have to do what’s good for the long haul. Case by case.
@@JackofHaulTrades my pleasure. I enjoyed your video but didn’t enjoy how stressed the rentals made it, which is understandable. When I first started in equipment rentals in 2006 I had zero clue what most of the tools and equipment were, how they operated etc. Took me a long time to gain the confidence to ask customers to pay for things, a long time. One thing I forgot to mention was call your competitors and ask for quote to rent something. Ask local, farther away etc and see what they charge. At the end of the day you want to build a loyal customer base, one that calls you without asking what the price is. So going back to the tires, sure to build rapport and trust you will have to not charge for some things. Totally the right thing to do. But never do a favour for a customer and not tell them you did. If they send something back that you had to fix and didn’t charge them, make a follow up call ask them how everything was, service etc and gently say, oh by the way the rear tail light was all mangled but we got it all straightened out at the shop. Something along those lines. Keep at it. 👊
I like the GoPro footage man!
Thanks brother! It's nice to have. But man, the sun over heats this thing fast 🥵
Come on, dude you only have one gas can lol. great video bro things are going to happen. That is for sure.
Haha yeah, all my other ones are either diesel or mixed gas 🤣
I appreciate your support man! Thank you ❤️
A thieves can pull those 2 bolts and supply their own hitch if they want to steal the trailer.
Yep they can! I upgraded the to s5 coupler locks they are so much better. They hide the bolts
@ about the 10:00 minute mark, saw your E-brake cable through one of the holes in your hitch... That could be a problem imo... If the trailer came off for one reason or another while driving, your e-brake cable might rip apart not pull the pin out to engage trailer brakes... I always run cable from A to B... If cable is too long like one of my trailers, I run it through the hitch and hook back to the e-cable itself... Good luck
Great point man. Thank you for the comment 💪🫡
How's business going for you?
they drove backwards with the dump up.. that's why the light metal is pushed forward. if they did it driving forward it would be bent backwards
Great point right there 🫡
you need to start keeping and cutting all that free firewood ! more dollars , less dumping fees !
Yessir! I have a bunch in my backyard, but I have no time to split em 😭
Dave here chin junk removal here in Charlotte nc...like to lock my trailer tires when I rent
Hey Dave what kind of lock are you running for the tires? Can you send me a link!?
try adding $10 to every rental and keep it in a seperate account for "damages and repairs"
That's a great tip! Thanks brother 🫡
Holy shit bro with all those tools you should’ve just bought a utility body truck lol
Haha yeah! I might get a camper shell eventually
firewood is moooooney. Buy a used log splitter.
I'm planning on it for winter!
I'm planning on buying one for this winter!
I like jeffersons landfill best. Thats where I take my trash. Cheap and easy to get in and out
Yessir they are the best for trash! but for tree work, they are the worst. Never dump yard debris or trees there go to 211 landfil
Is your newest dump trailer a 7x14 or a 7x16?
It's 7×16×3, my older ones are 7×14×4
Need to start charging hammer $200 at least in stead of the $125
Yeah that's the price for random people. But I try to help hammer out with what I can...they give me a ton of work so it works out at the end of the day. Thanks for the comment brother 🫡🙏
take picks before. and damage deposits.
Yep, I gotta start doing that! Just wait until my next video. My stump grinder came back damaged now :/
If I were you, Id demand atleast a $150 damage deposit upfront for annoying stuff like that. If it comes back damaged, dont give the deposit back, its just business. Also, I hope you are using a GPS on your stuff, I have a video on the one I bought, its worth it.
You are right man. I need to start doing that. Whattt!? I didn't know you had a UA-cam channel as well. I just subscribed 💪
@@JackofHaulTrades Thanks! Im trying to be like you someday!
@@PremiumFuelOnly you are better than me :)
How much are you paying per tire?
I bought 4 of those off Facebook Marketplace with rims for $650 ....next I plan on replacing them all with 14ply tires they are much stronger and will also last longer 💪

I think you’re overdramatic about the hill
Haha, video doesn't do it justice but yeah, you're probably right 😂🫡
To rent equipment som places charge me up to 1,500 deposit on my card
Dang...what are you renting?
@@JackofHaulTrades cat skid steer cat trencher. 24 inch auger.. and brush cutter for a job.
@hawkeyetec that makes sense. The most I had to leave at harco was like $300, and that was for a 12-inch chipper rental
It's to bad that trailers didn't have a magnet 🧲 attached to pick out nails while your out @ the dump rather then having to replace tires all the time 🤔
If you can figure out how to make that magnet you will become rich 😂😂
