Im a land surveyor. Surveying equipment is very expensive. Software Licenses will most likely be more than $20,000 depending on what services you provide. Also, to do property surveys (the only task you described in the video) you do have to be licensed (4 year degree in civil engineering or surveying +pass state exam). Also, it does require quite a bit of knowledge and technical training.
@marandafinn8730 Unrealistic as hell. (I'm a land surveyor myself). It can be realistic if you have a huge surveying company but as a side hustle....no lol.
This guy is so clueless that he really thought land surveying is a pickup side hustle! I was laughing really hard on this one. He didn’t know you need to be licensed just like an engineer or a doctor would .
YOU are delusional. Saying that was not even the intent of the original comment. He was saying that this "hustle" is not even possible, and the person who made this video was only trying to get views. Of course you can learn without experience with research ! People can learn about world war II without picking up an M16. People can learn about cancer without having had tumors removed from their bodies. . I can't believe the stupidity of your comment😞
FYI on Land surveying. If you do this make dam sure you know what your doing because if you mess up you can be sued for thousands to millions of dollars if your survey is wrong.
I am a certified survey technician. You are correct, to produce a legally recognized survey, you must be registered with the state. Years of training is needed, even for the lower positions. Expensive equipment, licensing, knowledge.
Ya, im an apprentice plumber and we charge just that but a lil lower 650 and really don't take long and that's with the sewage cam it's pretty sweeet plus then u get the person and his friends and so on word of mouth is what keeps us busy
FYI to start a land surveying business you need to make sure you have a licensed Professional Land Surveyor on staff and who is responsible for all work. Most states require you to have a licensed professional land surveyor on staff, firms must designate an employee as the surveyor in responsible charge of all surveying activities. The surveyor in charge is generally required to have an active professional surveyor license in the state where the firm is located and/ or doing work. This is 100% the case for Washington, Oregon and Colorado. To be a PLS you need a minimum of an associates degree in land surveying and geomatics, but a BS is preferred. Also you will then need anywhere from 4~10 years supervised work experience before you can get licensed as a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS). It is illegal to offer services as a PLS if not licensed. Please research your suggestions thoroughly before telling people it’s ok to start doing them, thank you
I appreciate this comment and agree with you that this last business should have been researched more and the degree and training should have been highlighted more.
@@adamzwingler Don't get it twisted here my friend I'm not mad at your hustle & appreciate your interest & enthusiasm in the construction trades. It's all good, go get it. However some of the way you're doing it is another thing I feel not only are you doing yourself a disservice yet also the others you're trying to reach who are interested in getting into the trades more so. Take it for what it's worth or don't IRDGAS it's just a bit of constructive criticism for you to think about on where you want to go yourself to increase your own revenue on your channel while keeping it a buck & keeping your own self integrity, ya dig? 🤔 Just saying... +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘
@adamzwingler How much of the information is accurate in your videos? Based on some of the comments or seems your info is a little off, and you seem to be selling your web site business...
lol I was just scrolling threw as I seen this, well as a plumber for 16 years I can tell you your wrong I have 3 different snake machines my bigger main line machine is 4k alone my medium is 2k my little one is 650 my camera rigid was 14k and clogs cost between 150-350 in California so it’s gonna cost much more then 5k and snaking does take skill seem a lot of guys just going up vents instead of drains
Absolutely I think you putting the spotlight on it is great I will go further to say a snake and camera can land a sewer replacement which can cost between 4k+ the most priciest one I’ve done was 25k but I shall say anything done in California over 500 dollars does require you to have a sub contractor license. But if you do 4 clogs a day at 250 a piece thats a grand a day times that by a month = happy happy happy
I worked in the drain business 30 years ago and we would charge $55.00(first 100ft) to run a mainline through an outside cleanout. And I still have some equipment! Maybe I should get back in the business...😆
LOL here in NC my buddies plumbing company who is licensed charges 150 for a clogged drain 24/7 😅....750 no way unless it's non residential and I gurantee you better be a licensed plumber to get in the door.
You can go without electricity (candles) or cooking food (buy fast food) for a while. But plumbing. No way. You have one flush and that’s it. Once you see that toilet flushing as it should, the relief is through the roof. 😂 Just ask any woman why they don’t want to go camping.
Like other comments, you have to be licensed to land survey. Some of this requires schooling, specialized classes, and better make sure you are insured as at least in California there is not statute of limitations on a land surveyor.
Cleaning sewer drains, a Ridgid k-400 will do 90% of what you need, can get for under a thousand, if your on a super tight budget even get a harbor frieght machine for the first couple months.
You can't charge over $500 for drain cleaning in CA. Any work over that $500 limit, and you have to be a licensed contractor. No, two invoices of one at $500 and another at $250 will not count. 4 years of experience or 3 years of schooling with one year of exp, and you have to have someone sign off your experience verifying that you are qualified. Lots of hoops to jump through.
There is no one charging 450 bucks to unclog a drain. Ever heard of mike diamond? Most plumbers and handymen around me only charge 100 bucks or less depending on the day and the urgency. Same day on a sunday night may cost a bit. But next day on a monday or tuesdsy is gonna be 90 bucks
$1000 in truck insurance? Thats astronomical. Remember you dint have a contract license there fore you are not paying commercial insurance. More like $60-$300 on regular vehicle insurance depending on type and year of truck.
lol bro you can’t just say I’m a surveyor. Unless you wanna spend 5 years under a licensed professional surveyor to get certified and then buy your own $30k Trimble…. Also in order to contract with city on public roads you need to go through A LOT OF HOOPS plus deal with prevailing wage, certified payroll and apprentice requirements.. at least in California. Maybe Christmas tree lights or medical delivery would make more sense for this “side hustle” video haha
Land surveying is not a pickup side hustle !! I was laughing really hard on this one. You need to be licensed just like an engineer or a doctor would. It requires a 4 year degree as well. Lol😂
3. You do need credentials for surveys 2. County workers remove dead animals from roads in there counties, (its part of the job hiring description 1. Would love to know who you charged that kind of money and how you were able to instantly schedule in so many people that needed their drains cleaned, plus you forgot to list the insurances and potential bond you need or should have before attempt this.
Do you know why there is a shortage of land surveyors? Because land surveying requires an 4 year civil engineering degree plus the State exams. Do more research before spreading misinformation.
Hello and thank you for the video. Have you got an email I can contact you on regards to this? I am struggling with living costs in England UK and would be super grateful for some help. Even Making £200 a week would totally change my life. Thank You George
Let's ASSUME you just charge someone a million dollars to unclog a drain. You can ASSUME to only do one drain a year and become a trillionaire in one day!!!!
Tell me this is satire. Clean drains. Pick up dead animals. Survey. None of this requires a pickup truck. 127k a year picking up roadkill. Dude you don’t deserve a penny for this. Idk why this bothers me so much but it’s clickbait crap bro.
Most stupid advice, do 17,227 a month with a pick up truck? Then make a list of tools to purchase and for a magic or saint spirit your are a pro plumbing to clean or unclog drainage. Get out as hxle.
So if you got about $250,000 bucks to invest y'all can make some money. Oh lets not forget the taxes and unending regulatory fees. Best just to start a RUclips channel and pretend like y'all know what youre talking about.
He intentionally forgot to list the cost to Dispose of Animals. Where do you dispose of these animals, what is the cost? You can't take them to the local landfill.
Hello and thank you for the video. Have you got an email? I can contact you in regard to this ? I am really struggling with living costs in the UK and would like to give this a try. I would be grateful for some genuine help. Thank You
You need to start digging a little more deeper into finding out what your talking about because I don't think you really know what you're talking about 🤔😂😂😢
In Texas, typically professional engineers operate land surveying companies. Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors handles licensing. But it is an on-demand career if you have the proper education and experience to get licensed.
If you are going to do the sewer cleaning, you better have a way to keep the thieves away from your equipment when you are directly monitoring your stuff or it WILL GET STOLEN.
Agree. At minimum, a lockable camper shell for your truck... equipment chained and pad locked TO THE BED. I understand the video is for pickup truck hustles, but plumbing/electrical-related trades prefer vans, security being one reason.
The drain cleaning job you will not have business everyday. I don't know where he's getting his figures from. Would be nice if someone would do some type of research before creating a video like this.
I know a few plumbers that charge that and people have no problem paying it because their kid flushed toys or paper and the toilet won’t flush and their sink backs up with dirty water
The real side hustle is sitting on your behind and talking smart about things you haven’t done yourself 😂😂😂😂😂
Ur dumb bro
AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH.
I would NEVER Remove dead animals from anywhere ! I only remove dead roaches from my garage !!! 😅😂🙄😊😊😆
Yes sir, that's how the bigtime gurus do it. 🤣😂🤣😂

I thought so also…
Using your logic; the best side hustle using a truck is to become a neurosurgeon and drive your truck to and from hospital where you work

I'm banking that the guy talking has not done any of these jobs
Might be right
Why would that even matter? Intelligent people are capable of doing the research, to learn what he is teaching. Obviously he is one of them

You need to be licensed to be a land surveyor. Usually, school is involved.
I don't think he knows .
Clearly he doesn’t know… at least in MA and NH you have to..
I feel like you missed a good opportunity to put truckload in the title
I am a certified survey technician. You are correct, to produce a legally recognized survey, you must be registered with the state. Years of training is needed, even for the lower positions. Expensive equipment, licensing, knowledge.
@@mr.bojangles3053 that's correct. I got all excited about doing this, but found out about all the training and schooling needed.
You forgot about the dead animals body disposal charge. Once you have the body you have to pay to get rid of it in a safe and legal way.
How much will that cost
Yup take it to the dump, $52 a ton
What? I can't use my wood chipper? 😋
Leave it on the road somewhere and then theyll have to call you out again its genius

Texas requires a license to survey land which requires a bachelors degree to apply. Check your local and state laws.

I'd do the Dead Animal Removal business however it looks like all the companies around me also offer getting rid of live animals like bats.
Where would you dispose the dead animals and cost ?
so where do you find customers?
Did work for a guy who removed dead deer for the state. Drove a new 3500 with a dump trailer and winch. Stunk like hell.
I really wish I had an idea what to even do lol been running operations for 10 years been selling for 3 years but I hate being a w2 employee!
Thanks for the awesome ideas with good preliminary plans. Earned my follow. What businesses are you pursuing?
Cleaning sewer drains, a Ridgid k-400 will do 90% of what you need, can get for under a thousand, if your on a super tight budget even get a harbor frieght machine for the first couple months.
Thanks for the insights man
Knowledge able people will make sure your licensed bonded and insured
Great Video, question about dead animal removal. Where can you dispose of the dead animal once it’s removed?
Eat it of course
🤮@@michaelkus8869

Moral of the story......Move out of Cali!
So...to become a surveyor in Texas requires nearly 7 years. Am I missing something?
Most people just bury their dead pets in their back yard
There is no one charging 450 bucks to unclog a drain.
Ever heard of mike diamond? Most plumbers and handymen around me only charge 100 bucks or less depending on the day and the urgency.

Agreed man. I should have done more research into that before assuming this could be done as a side hustle. My bad
For the dead animal removal, how and where does one dispose of the dead animals? What's the expense for that? Kinda skipped that part, didn't you?
And then u must compete with Roto Rooter and Captain Clog companies
Liquid plummer bottle is like $9 👍 I just save you $741, you are welcome 😂
What do you do with the carcasses of these dead animals?
What is the deal with this dude's numbers?
Where do you dump the dead animals?
Incomes totally exaggerated!
there are 4.33 weeks in a month. 52 weeks in a year divided by 12 = 4.33. just saying slightly higher
At yhose prices, he must live in California
The Animal Sounds something I can Do.
What about disposal?
He says dead animals 50 times 😂
🔥🔥🔥
Seems only the second actually required a truck🤷🏾♂️
They offer drain clearing in my area for 79$ with a cam wtf
Ever looked into mobile media blasting?
3. You do need credentials for surveys
2. County workers remove dead animals from roads in there counties, (its part of the job hiring description
1. Would love to know who you charged that kind of money and how you were able to instantly schedule in so many people that needed their drains cleaned, plus you forgot to list the insurances and potential bond you need or should have before attempt this.
Who pays for this or who do I charge?
So every idiot with a pickup should be a millionaire within a few years
No one will pay 750 dollars to clean out a drain most plummers run a drain special for 99 dollars all day long!!!
Can you have regular insurance?
!st its septic tank driver , then sewer blockage man , then dead animal removal. whats next testicul shaver?
Who's paying to have dead animals removed? Do you charge the city?
Don't forget about growing cannabis and mushrooms
Good point man. I will add that to the list of future videos
So out of these 3 businesses, which one is your preferred one?
And why?
Thanks and this was a really great video!
I’d say drain cleaning. Minimal start up costs and no license required in many states.
Wait the state pays for dead animal removal? Your burying the animals right?
You are also not taking into account the time and money spent trying to get enough work to actually work 5 days a week, non-stop, all year.
Do you know why there is a shortage of land surveyors? Because land surveying requires an 4 year civil engineering degree plus the State exams. Do more research before spreading misinformation.
I love drawing cleaning. Can you help please
I wish I could afford a truck.
You sure you're not Mike Rowe's son? 🤔😯😊😎
You left out the shovels and strong back.
Who the hell is going to pay a $275 to remove an animal, And off the road?
Will the K 50 unclog your nose?
I’m going back to school
So....what the hell do you do with all of these dead animals and how can you ever bank on having a specific amount of dead animals daily???
I think it would be more realistic to just have that as a side gig unless your area has tons and tons of AG or something
The dead animal one is so lame, bro just making stuff up
Yeah it costs me $50 for the dead animal guy to pick up a large goat
In this economy he says 5000 is cheap lol.

Wtf $400 to unclog a drain😂😂😂 definitely not in Florida no where close to that maybe $100 per drain on a stretch
Around here, the coyotes and vultures take care of the dead animals....

Does dead animal removal include human remains?
Who pays 750$ to unclogging a drain?
After a major flood and sewage was still standing in my basement, I did and was willing to pay more, so I could get that area cleaned out.
@@lani1life Yes, and this is true, but these are very rare cases and you can wait for such clients for months
I know a few plumbers that charge that and people have no problem paying it because their kid flushed toys or paper and the toilet won’t flush and their sink backs up with dirty water
