I’ve been pretty impressed with them. I run them hard and heavy. Other than tires I haven’t had to do anything to them. Still on the original battery even.

The white wire is the ground. It needs to be secured to the frame of the trailer.

Wireless is definitely the way to go.

I use 2 different length bungees. 31 and 41”. Get the heavy duty rubber ones like truckers use. I hook them to the frame, fenders, or wherever I can. If you haven’t bought a tarp I recommend getting at least a 10x18 I’ve had some loads where a bigger one would have been nice.

I made a simple agreement that I wrote up and send with my invoice. I also keep a few in the truck in case someone doesn’t do email and wants to do cash. I don’t know if it offers me any real legal protection since I didn’t have a lawyer write it.

@@liers99 I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know about it. I'm going to start this business/ junk removal as part time and I'm trying to know clearly as to how to get the agreement contract but it looks like copy/ paste then making adjustment to each needs is the best way to go.

It’s holding up great! For some things it would be nice to have it higher off the floor. So far it does it’s intended job very well

@@liers99 thanks! Yeah I was concerned about it being close to the ground but better than nothing! I was thinking of switching out the line for one of the ropes so it doesn't rip the trailer apart pulling over it. I'm also still undecided about going with the 3500 or the 5000

@@jonzajac9312 get the 5000 if you are between the 2. I would stay with the steel cable. I always raise the bed so the cable doesn’t drag the floor.

@@liers99 makes sense! Thanks!

Any videos of it loading stuff

Thanks for watching!

If you are just doing it as a side gig do a little research on Facebook Marketplace and see what others in your area are charging. Then figure ballpark expenses and what you want to make on a load and see how that compares to what the other guys are doing. This industry is very market specific so what I charge in my market probably won’t work in yours. I made some educated guesses when I started.

That’s a loaded question and the answer is, it depends. All the factors you mentioned play into what to charge. I run mine like a dumpster service and I also offer junk removal as an up charge. One way to start is call all the dumpster companies in your area and see what they charge and what is included for that price. Then set your price to there and see how it goes. Once you get some idea of what your costs are you need to set your pricing based on what your numbers are. I offer flat prices for 1,3, or 5 days. My price includes 2 tons of debris and I charge extra per ton if they go over. I will haul just about anything as long as it’s safe and legal. If you have a light weight truck I would stay away from roofing, dirt, and concrete. Hope this helps!

Only way to go!

Sure. Any standard coupler should fit.

@@liers99 Thank You !

No problem! Good luck to ya.

Would and higher is the correct way. Also use a period when you end your sentence!

That impact wrench is something I don’t use very often, but when I need it it’s worth every penny it cost.

I got those from Northern Tool. Should be able to find them just about anywhere that sells farm supplies or towing accessories.

They are probably regular standard hitch pins you can get at any hardware store. Personally I like the straight ones with the ring handle on them. The ones with one bent and on them just look cheap or cheesy to me,

Thanks for watching!

Congrats on getting going! As far as getting started I added this as a service to my handyman business. I bought two trailers at the first of the year and just went for it. Advertising I do some on Facebook, a lot of word of mouth, and I have someone that runs my website and does my SEO for me. This business has inherent risks that come with it. If someone tries to steal the trailer and tears up property my general liability would cover that. I would much rather have to deal with a scratched drive than a stolen trailer. Thanks for watching! Best of luck!

@@liers99 Agreed. Thanks for your response.

@@HandymanHustle congrats!

@@liers99 Great video very informative. I have one question for you. What insurance carrier do you have for your truck? I understand the general liability will protect you from someone hurting themselve while loading the trail.

@@thegipper4573 I carry a general liability policy as well as a commercial auto policy. Both of those are pretty much required if you have a business. To get started I had my truck listed on a personal policy for business use. Very few people will write that policy however and it depends on the structure of your business. I recommend really shopping your insurance and try to find an agent that will work for you. Usually that will be an independent agent that works with multiple company’s. Hope this helps!

Honestly it’s really the only thing I’m disappointed in so far.

Thanks for watching

@@liers99 yes sir
