Totally Forgot That I Rented This: Customer Had Been On Auto Pay!

- So, I'm a bit scatter brained and I'm doing my best to keep up with every little side hustle I have going.
Some of my customers are on auto pay, and if I don't hear from them, their rental becomes out of sight and out of mind. I have been so focused on delivering dumpsters and keeping up with other avenues of my business that I completely forgot that I had also rented a storage container to someone downtown. Talk about a facepalm moment! It's all part of the journey in running a business. Talk about passive income!
Well, the customer called and asked for us to pick up the storage container, so now I'm left with deciding what to do with it next!
In the meantime, I'm also building some storage units at the shop and rehabbing a rental property that hasn't been touched in years. But now that the tenant has left, it's time to dive into that head first!
I'm trying to knock out everything I possibly can before flying down to Texas for the Lonestar showcase, hosted by youtubes favorite dumpster guy - Josh with @AmericanAFDumpsters
Hope to see some of you there!
You should look up the lifting strength of your chain when it is used across the container being lifted in the middle like that. Because the strength is greatly reduced in that position. I think it's 1/3 as strong but it was along time ago and there was a lot to learn so eg 6ton chain can going only lift 2ton. And around the corners through the corner casting reduces the chain steghth as well. If you do a dogmans course you will learn all that stuff. Its a real eye-opener how much strength is reduced or increased in different positions.
I love the engine sounds of older model vehicles
I love that trucks music note as well
I was totally impressed with your ingenuity of you getting that container up onto the truck!
Very well done!
Hey that staircase with A/C UNIT on top appears to be a disaster ready to happen….
Hope you got that attended to ASAP! 🥹
Appreciate that! Yea....that stair case is set to be a total rebuild! Already moved the AC to avoid a serious accident.
With the straps for holding the container on the trailer, roll the end up, the throw it up and away from you. With a little practice you can get it every time. Renting the containers sounds a top idea. Renting rubish bins, yes maybe more money in the short term. However with the containers, low purchase price, drop off, collect rent every month for 2, 6 or even 12 months. No tip fees to get caught out on. I have not a lot of idea what rent on one would be. But say $100 a month. 50 is 5 K a month. One person could run that. The people that would use them is endless.
Yep, it is a solid business model!
👍 doing good work in this video. I like that you know about the twist in the straps😊 You could have put three twists in one on the roof too Not a big deal unless it's driving you crazy when the wind is smacking the strap against the metal 😮. And since it was on video good job putting that third strap on! Makes you look really good 🎉. Way to go 💪
Appreciate it! All the tips and comments help!
That container's purpose is to make you money, not be used as some kind of garage/roof structure IMO.
Whatever he uses it for be sure it will be making $
That's the name of the game. Either way, I want it to generate revenue or a solid ROI
@@rollingopshi I’m looking in to getting in the junk removal business. I was thinking about the f250 or 350 with a trailer. If that falls in the cdl category which I have a license already does that mean u have to get dot also?
@@Flokiboys I have an older video about this that should still be about 90% up to date. Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/n5DoXh6p1y8/v-deo.html
@@rollingopsyour roi will be insurance premiums
Nice meeting you yesterday. Thanks for coming out and sharing your stories, sorry for bugging you with questions lol. Thanks 🤘🏽 - Nacho
I hope you didn't feel like you bugged me! It was a surreal experience, and I was a bit overwhelmed, but I enjoyed meeting everyone there! If Josh does it again, I hope you decide to come!
@@rollingops If it’s in the area I will for sure be there!
Never rent housing to family or friends. I learned the hard way.
Yea, I def draw my line in the sand on this as well. That's why he isn't really renting it from me
Shew... I remember watching you drop that container off. Cannot believe it has been years lol. Killing the game!
Time has flown man, I looked back at the video when I dropped it, and if I recall there was a couple months between me recording that and even dropping it, so it's just wild where the times gone!
Thank you for the continuous motivation and positive attitude in the rental game. Nobody will ever see what it took. When I start to get low, your videos hype me up at the end of my day and realize it's not that bad and to hit the next morning even harder. Thank you
Hey Clayton, great video, I think you should paint it grey like your other one I've seen before and brand it with Rolling Operations and also put on there everything you do with with symbols or lettering! So if you rent it and drop it off anywhere, it's just free advertising the entire time it's visible! Thanks and good luck! See you on Saturday in Dallas!
Great suggestion! It would be nice if it matched my other one a bit.
You need an accounting suite and Inventory sheet with out/in alerts.
I believe covered parking may be a bit of help on insurance costs..chainlink gate the front side and even more for secure covered parking.
Yea, that's definitely the direction we are heading!
Hmm, renting out a cargo container or small office trailer...thats a cool idea! If I had a commercial lot to store it.
It's definitely a good niche!
Maybe a couple hi lift jacks probably harbour freight has them but what you’re doing works 👍 keep the videos coming.
Those are always handy to have!
Like you said you can use a hook lift and fabricate some brackets onto every shipping container, but you can also get an accessory from Hiab for your Multilift called Commander which is designed to lift Shipping Containers. The system is also used by the US Military.
Where I live we call them "C" boxes. We use them for storage and offices on construction sites.
Yep I thought they called em "sea" boxes because of shipping on boats. But maybe it's for "C"onnex boxes
that 750 looks amazing good job man sorry for the terrible neighbours!
It is what it is! Thanks man!
Holy shit Jesse's in the equipment business nowaday
Crystal game has changed
An idea for the shipping container. Possible storage for a power tool rental startup
Well im new to your channel but have been shopping around and looking to into setting up pretty much same way you are. Nice to see someone doing it successfully. As for the sea cans. Get a torch cut some windows and build it out with a walk-in door mount a window unit preferably with heat and ac, a desk maybe even toss in an office chair and a couple other chairs you're now renting it out as a mobile job site office. Or add fittings for hooking up a couple of tanks put in a 3/4 bath and you've got an office with indoor plumbing/emergency shower office for placed dealing with chemicals.
Build a roof between use for parking as you thought. 2 units with a roof and set up like studio apartments you've got a place for the mothers with covered parking. Or a unit your wife uses as her "crafting area, and a man cave.. possibilities are endless.
We have actually done something similar! Turned one into a camper a couple years ago. Still use it regularly!
Put vanilla flavoring in your paint and it will kill the smell.
Good tip! Thanks!
Turn the container into an amazing bar with oak and mahogany wood work and rent it out to weddings and cigar clubs don't forget the solar on top😮
We have always wanted to do an airbnb build! I like it!
That’s asset, you said it’s paid for it self, keep renting it, and I’ll see you Tomorrow in Texas.
Yep, I think that's the plan. Might as well!
See you there!
Well it's paid for so it don't hurt to keep it paint it put your name on the side of it you might be able to finagle a tax right off there but I wonder if there would be much use of a mobile office like putting an entry door and a window with bars on it for construction workers. But other than that it's always good storage
We actually have one out at a camp site like that! I absolutely love it, want to do an airbnb version of it soon
What software do you use to manage your payments / Billing ?
So I have square for taking cards, but I'm actively talking to a couple dumpster rental software companies.
I definitely want a dumptruck, skidsteer, etc. - but don't have the business for it.
It's an weird thing, it must go back to the Tonka truck days for us guys
@@rollingops haha yea, its just large toys basically, but make working easier.
@@rollingopsWe're still kids, only thing is our toys got bigger!
@@edstevens6839 100%
See you at the showcase today in Rhome!
It was great to be there!
I would get banners made for the sides of those containers with the company logos.
Oh I like that! I'm thinking of banners for the property fence as well
@@rollingops or you can get one of them guys that does graffiti and paint the company logo on the side. Cuz that's what usually gets put on some of these lol and it would be different stand out
Make it a billboard on your lot and place it hy the road, and rent it out as a storage unit on your lot. Two incomes then
Yep, I'd like to refresh the unit before letting it out again. At the least!
Cut the roof out and you got cheaper dumpsters 😂
The container is on auto pay, let that money roll in. Leave it there
They called for it to be picked up lol, otherwise I wouldn't be worried about it! Haha
@@rollingops oh, from the context I had it seemed like you had been calling around making sure they were still using them. I don't care if you use it, ad long as you pay.
@@rollingops now I get it
See you Saturday at Lone Star Dumpster Showcase
See you there!
Far easier to use a hiab truck!! They only weigh in at 2.5 tons !!Straight on the twist locks !! Make it into a tiny home !!
Name for the dump truck … Betty White 🤘😝🤘
Absolutely Big Betty White
get yourself a single axle rollback thats what i use to move them and we do multiple a day.
Will probably need something of the sort if we continue to do these
what brand are you using for winch cables on your trailers?
The ones that come with the Dk2 samurai warrior winches. And then a harbor freight backup rope.
I want a water truck for some reason. Definitely don't need it. Like a 1970s water truck.
You should do it.....for reasons
Always keep renting it. An asset that keeps making you money? No brainer…………
Solid point
Sandblast it, heavy primer coat, logos, continue renting it.
Yep! I think that's the move!!
Hey Clayton, great meeting you in person at the Lonestar Dumpster Showcase in Texas! I just noticed while watching this again, that your storage container actually shows the TARE Weight, which is 5,030lbs, so basically, a clean, dry container is slightly over 5k lbs for you, just so you know! Thanks, Brian
Yep! You're right this one is one of my heavier ones. I think the other 2 I have were newer and closer to 4k!
@@rollingops sounds like this is an opportunity to label this storage container as your heavier duty line and charge a 25% premium! lol Keep hustling!
Didnt u make a video dropping that container there?
Also im curious on did u have any experience towing trailers or driving machines before u started ur business or did u just do it?
I think I made a video of me dropping them the second one there! But they only kept that one a short time. I had 0 experience. The first trailer I ever pulled was the one I still use for dumpsters!
@rollingops fair play to u was that the same with he machines aswell?
Have u considered supplying aggregate now u have the dump truck?
If it has doors at both ends why not build a divider wall and make it two 8x10 storage units and rent on site there?
Definitely a thing that could be done. This unit doesn't have doors on both ends unfortunately
2:12 why is the outside left tire on your back axle still spinning when you stop??
So it's actually a tag axles. I can flip a switch and air bags will raise or lower that wheel down based on weight.
Nice dump truck, glad it’s running and rolling for money making! Name her Betty white !
I like it! Big Betty White
Forget dumpsters did you just teleport at 3:30 mark?
That transition worked really well. Very unplanned lol 😆😅
Would that dump truck count as a class A or B vehicle, or is it large enough to even fit in those categories? (Like a 1/2 ton with a bed on it.)
Class B with the tag. But believe it or not. If we remove this tag axle it's only a 23k lbs truck
Heck if you're not using it for commercial use, you can drive about anything!
@10:50 you have some powder in your nose haha
Haha bruh, those are just my nasty nose hairs. Trust me, if I did snow, I'd be president of the United States by now. Because I'd be that productive. I've definitely wondered if I'd function lol
Rent as another storage unit at that location
Get a truck with a crane instead. Its faster and easier to both load and unload the containers.
That would be slick
@@rollingops You can load a container in max 15 min and get it locked in place. So you dont need to use straps either :P But i will always recommend straps :P And you can place it right where you want on the dot.
Crazy seeing this randomly and realizing your not far from me lol
About where ya at?
@@rollingops Keokuk my self
Just actually saw you pulling a trailer coming through my town lol
@Iowaboy2164 that's hilarious. Yea, we go through keokuk a lot. We've been spreading out quite a bit. Both trucks were actually there today. I was in the old one, keegan was in the dulley!
You should put the storage container in a tree for a deer stand.
Best idea you've had yet
If it's been on auto pay for so long why change that unless it was customer choice? Just buy another container.
True statement 👌
why is it your videos only. I only have seen 2 of them but both started 1 minute in. how does that work if I never saw them before !!!
I've never seen that before, that is odd!
I've seen that happening on various videos too. I figure it is your mouse cursor activating the preview before you actually click on the video.
@@rnash999 ah yes! I have done that on other videos I watch as well. If your screen hovers.over a video and you don't immediately click it. It does the preview, then when you click it
It starts from the end of the preview!
Ticker the dump truck.
Hahaha 😆. Probably should look into that noise
Shipping container Mobile office?
you have alot of things that you should customize like this big thing 9:01
Could be a cool project. Think I may have sold that box bow though
If they rent keep renting them. Dont sell it as the price will continue to rise
So true!
She also looks like a “Betty”
Big Betty White
What do charge for rental
i have seen a lot of peopel make shipping container shops with thease and even tiny houses so i dunno coverd storage could be nice i know this video was posted a month ago from this comment so maybe you alredy decided haha
Yea, they are very useful! I've seen people do a lot with them, but I do have someone who immediately wanted to rent it, yet now they are tire kicking. So who knows
Hi bud how are you I’m a farmer from Canada do you want to be friends maybe
You Canadians are always so polite
Paint it.
Darla
Rent
Best choice
Where could I buy one of these to live in me and my family have been wondering where to get them were all welders and builders so we could do a lot with them thinking about burying some
After a lot of researching I really suggest not burying them! A lot of people have done it and you really don't want to! But you can usually find these near a river port!
You're welders, so. The support for these is in the 4 corners the corrugated walls and roof actually don't have much structural integrity so cross stacking when full or burying them requires reinforcement to the corrugation. Why the ships generally have them stacked corner to corner. Trains haul them with 2 20s under a 40 so the support is still on the corners.
SO WHAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU FIND OUT IT BELONGS TO SOME ONE ELSE DID NTO HEAR YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS.... WOW...... WOW.....
Bro, it's my container? I purchased it and then rented it to the customer for years. I personally put the container at their business location....
DID NTO SOUND LIKE IT . .. WOW... @@rollingops
He never said it belonged to someone else though what do you mean lmao
Dude, put the crack pipe down.
