DISCLAIMER: By no means am I an expert! I am just going through the motions and taking anyone who wants a ride along for the journey. I have finally put what I believe to be a pretty comprehensive video together of a lot of things needed when starting in this industry. I won’t say all things because I’m sure I missed a thing or two, or ten lol but this is a good starting point for anyone looking to get in on the ground floor. If you have anything to add to the video, please let me know in the comments below 👇🏼!
Thanks for all the info, very helpful I can’t wait to start….The only thing I need more knowledge is on Rates “how do I know when I’m charging to little, or how many tons do we charge for the initial contract ?”
It’s probably one of the toughest ways to start BUT it gains the most experiences and makes me appreciate process and the hard work even more! Thanks for the watch and the comment, best of luck to ya! Keep up that hustle!
Get it Hannah!! Jump in and get it started, because every day you wait, someone else is jumping in line ahead of you. Just my honest opinion! Best of luck and thanks for the watch!
Thanks for all the golden nuggets josh! Your channel is my favorite dumpster channel. Love that you show The Good The bad and The ugly, and not afraid to let us know what you know and what you're still learning. Awesome content I refer everyone I know to your channel!
Ashley, thank you so much for the kind words!! I really do love what I do, and bringing anyone along for the journey to watch and hang out with me is just a bonus!!!
Great video. Also know this. The trailer rental business in the Dallas Fort Worth area is saturated. We have dudes doing one day rentals for $165.00 with no weight limit. Just yesterday a new guy popped up, renting his brand spanking new Diamond C trailer at $225.00 for 7 days LOL. If that is not cheap enough, he offers to fill it as well. For the same price. Basically free labor.... Multiple operators offering "beat any price" with a Harbor Freight trailer with add on plywood walls. if you have any aspirations of making $20,000 a month, consider a food truck or pressure washer business.
Great video Josh. One thing depending on your state your trailer is not always covered under your current insurance policy. In California ( I know one of the most difficult states to run a business in I deal with so much BS here) you have to add your trailers to your policy sometimes they are not covered so always check with your agent.
Yes sir, I also add my trailer to my policy. Also why it was a good decision to move from dump trailers to roll offs. Only one trailer vs many that are insured. Thanks for the watch and comment!
Arizona requires a DOT number above 18,001 lbs GVWR within the state. If you cross state lines, Federal DOT applies. Its really easy to get, just show a license, and proof of insurance. No CDL needed under 26,001 lbs
Great Video thanks for all the great advice. Currently going on my fourth deployment to Iraq. When i return home i want to start my own business doing junk removal and all the information you provided is great need to know subjects. Looking forward to working for myself but i want to start small and work my way up.
Thank you for the Videos! I started my roll off business in December 2020 after watching some of your videos. Began with three 14 yard dumpsters and now I am running six 14 yard and three 20 yard! Much appreciate that help and best wishes to you!
This video is loaded with relevant information.....Thanks for the specific information. BTW, You might have made the right decision with the gas over the diesel-I keep putting thousands into my diesels as the DEF systems are an expensive pain in the ass.
I too seem to prefer the gas engines in new trucks. 2nd gen cummins might still be good trucks but I don't know about these new ones unless they get deleted.
Don't forget about the cost of commercial insurance. You are one incident away from bankruptcy without it. Anything could happen. A child could get inside your dumpster and get injured or killed. Your dump trailer could slide on a wet surface and end up in somebody's living room. A customer could overload your trailer with slabbed concrete and cover it with rubbish or tree limbs. This happens a lot. What if you discover it? Are you willing to dump the load on site and give the rental money back? Can you move slabbed concrete by yourself, what if the customer disappears or refuses to remove the material. This happens! Progressive is one of the few to cover a new business such as these. A truck, trailer and 3 roll offs will cost you around five thousand dollars a year for correct insurance coverage. if you decide to start without commercial insurance, may the luck of the Irish be with you until you can afford commercial insurance. Also , can you really back a trailer? Under pressure with a bunch of people watching you? With a bunch of construction workers whistling and yelling at you? Inches from gas meters and water mains? Some people cannot back trailers, they don't have the vision or motor skills for it. Not ever, not even with hours of practice. You might want to rent a trailer and find out, before you buy a $12,000 trailer. $12,000 is market price now, almost double what they cost a year ago. The trailer companies are keyed in and they are going to sock it to you with no mercy ( steel shortage yady yady yady). Texas Pride raised prices 11 times in 2020.
It ain’t easy that’s for sure. I believe I did cover commercial insurance but you are right. People really should really think about EVERYTHING involved in getting into business. It’s never peaches and cream!
I was going to order a standard rail texas pride but every one on RUclips is saying their roll off trailers are horrible build quietly horrible welding all the electric not working tarp welded to sheet metal not frame but maybe they didn't buy the standard rail do you know if they do better work on the standard rail ones ? They are the only standard rail trailers thats not 15 hours are more from me
Bro if you can go to Texas Pride, you can make it to Keystone!! Watch my video that comes out tomorrow morning, March 27th 7am. I talk about the hooklift trailer and Keystone’s Cable Pull trailers too!
Great info, wouldn't mind knowing what software you use to manage your company. How do you manage the scheduling of multiple dumpsters in multiple places at once. Knowing when and where to pick up/drop off.
I just started mine. I have one truck and one trailer. Six Bins. Any tips on how to get insurance price down? Cheapest I have gotten is like 18k a year. I don't know what I have been doing wrong.
Try to find semi truck parking near your landfill. You can usually fit 2-3 dumpsters at least per truck spot. Around here the going rate is $150/mo per spot.
Fantastic video and excellent advice. How did you acquire the property to store all of your equipment? I'm interested in starting a dumpster rental/sanitation business but not sure at what point I should buy property
Thank you for all your videos and information!! You may have already shared this but I am ready to may the leap into the business in Tennessee! Who are you insured through? We're hitting dead ends.... Also, where you able to get financed, by who? Or did you have the cash? If too personal please forgive me and disregard. Thank you!!!
Carl, I discuss insurance in this video, lol you must not have watched it all the way through! Progressive for commercial truck insurance and NEXT for my general liability. I financed half my roll off with the dealership, and they used Medallion Bank but honestly I would go to a local credit union before trying that, likely would be less in interest.
Absolutely can. Problem with the 30 yards on a TP setup is the length of the trailer. It is hard enough delivering in the city with a 14 footer, I can't imagine going ANY longer. Only way 30 yard work imo regularly would be with a roll off truck.
Bro thats on you to find!! Family piece of land, rent a quarter acre in your area, storage facility, call some parcels of land that are for sale in your are, preferably off the highway and ask if they would be willing to allow you to rent some spots from them while they are for sale. Preferably, call the ones that you know off they highway that have been for sale for a long time. They are usually more willing to cut some kind of deal. Call the brokers, call the owners, call everyone!
Id like to get into this business, i already have a dump trailer and have rented it out. Im just concerned about the competition. I live between rural towns of 6,000 ppl each and about half hour from couple large cities. Theres already a company out here started couple years ago and owns the market it seems like. He underbids whatever to get the work and tells you he will beat anyprice. Anyway, should i even be worried about it? I would also do skid steer/ demo work along with it
Since your in the Dallas area. Do you need a cdl and dot numbers to do this in Texas. I’m thinking about starting it and starting to do it with an f250 which has a gvwr or whatever of 10,000
Hello. Sub here. Have a quick question. Have a 1500 Silverado. Looking at a getting 5x10 dump trailer 7k with dual 3500 axles. Just looking for more of house/garage clean up rentals plus mulch/compost delivery. What would you recommend for insurance. Really have no clue where to start. In Wisconsin. If works out good want to add a one trailer a year.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters it's ok. I really appreciate your videos and very informative. I used one of your suggested vendors for building dumpsters and MUCH cheaper than a PJ or a Lonestar dumpster. Thank you so much!!!!
Keep hustling, keep advertising, take every free chance you can and post on FB market place, craigslist, throw up ads on yelp, Google My Business, yellowpages.com and all those online directories. Get a website if you don't have one yet, just a one pager if you can and use this slow time to WORK to get WORK. It will come.
Quick question boss, my 20 f250 is 10k and the trailer I want is 14k puts me at 24k. What about whatever I haul or move around ? Means I can only put one ton of junk?
Thanks for the sub! That's tough because a 1500 won't haul as much as a 3/4 ton truck. I would suggest probably going smaller, sticking with 10 yards or 15 yards max.
You content creators don't get it! You make videos that get the viewers interested in doing the biz you're doing so the supply of junk removers goes up, that pushes DOWN you're price so yes, it's a race to the bottom but you content creators all wanting to cash in on RUclips money, you guys are to blame!
Nope, we must not get it. Thanks for the watch and the comment though boosting the algorithm even higher since the Pennie’s we get from YT is all we care about!
As a Trailer mfg whos in the process of manufacturing roll offs trailers and bin THIS is the video i needed brother super informative me and my bro are getting into he did 6 1/2 years in the army and i want to see him build a company and im gonna build all his containers as well as others !
To me the biggest challenge I see with starting this business is "where do you put the dumpsters if they are not being used?" Having the infrastructure for that is an obstacle for a lot of people. A truck and some dumpsters is relatively inexpensive comparatively. This may be a geographical thing, but leasing or buying land where I live is absurdly expensive.
I don’t think I ever looked at that as a challenge really because I’ve always had a place to store them, but I can see what you mean for sure. Even if it’s a small yard outside of town, around here they wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. But I know other places are much more expensive.
I plan on separating from the Air Force soon (13 years and just can't do it anymore) and I plan on moving back home to my great state of Texas and doing a similar business. Great video man, lots of good info.
2019 sierra with a 14k roll off. Bumper pull. I currently get 12 mpg because it's lifted and once with a trailer I'm sure it'll be less but I'm ready to get in the game and eventually buy a old 7.3 Ford or whatever
we bought a house with 1 acre. now i got the space to store trailers and dumpsters. iv been hauling metal for 8 years. tin and other metal. i want to get a larger trailer. jumping into the roll off business might be a good thing. also i want to deliver fire wood. ill try a little bit of everything and see what brings home the bacon.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As for trash disposal, it really depends on where you live. I would recommend checking with your local waste management services for the nearest drop-off location and their pricing. Around here, my rates are around $45/ton
Once you get used to it, the gooseneck is better, hauls better, hauls more, has more mobility but also requires a bigger learning curve to get used to.
@@motorhead883_8 I still LOVE using them. Literally use them every day. Every now and then there is interference sometimes but other than that they are awesome.
Do you rent a yard to keep your dumpsters or do you keep at your house? I have plenty of yard to keep about 6 dumpsters in my back yard, just wondering if that’s allowed in Texas? Also do you allow concrete/tile to go into your dumpsters or does that get too heavy? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the watch Eddie. Regarding your question about if keeping 6 dumpsters in your back yard is allowed is really up to your city. If you live in the county and not within the city limits there are usually no restrictions. Other cities, or worse yet HOA you have to check with them honestly. As far as concrete/tile I do allow tile but give them a mark on the trailer they cannot go over. Wayyy too heavy.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters Thank you for responding! Another question on the new containers that you’re buying from Keystone, do you know if they fit most trailers or which trailers do you know they fit? Thank you
starting a business is not easy and to be successful depends on you , i been in different small business like tree work and landscape and stump grinding and carpet cleaning and power washing and deck cleaning and i failed at them all , now im a trucker and make 80k a year and all i gotta is not crash but i guess i still got the self employment bug because when i drive i think about it , i failed i think because im not a likeable guy , people dont enjoy dealing with me , im not a jerk i just dont have the magic that it takes , ive seen the magic my brother has and somehow he gets people eating out of his hand while i always hard a time and usually any customer i got was a 1 time deal ,,, i would really suggest a person do a in person sales job just to see if its easy for u to talk to people and u could be like me where its easy for me to talk to people but the magic is getting them to talk to you and believing you are the right person for them , thats the magic and thats what keeps me truckin because i dont need the magic out here good luck people
Bro I know what you mean. I have a resting bitch face 😂 Also being in the limo industry has always been uncomfortable for me, mainly because I never liked dressing in suits and ties, just not my thing. At least the dumpster biz I can dress how I want and comfortably!! Everything else you can hire out for!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters That’s why I think about dumpsters because Innoway it’s got to be the easiest thing in the world to sell basically it’s just do you want one or not there’s not much other than that
The local trash company offers large roll offs. I want to get a couple dump trailers. I live in a town of about 80 thousand people and no one else that I know of is doing this. Dump fees are expensive ($25 per yard) maybe that's why?

Absolutely can. Problem with the 30 yards on a TP setup is the length of the trailer. It is hard enough delivering in the city with a 14 footer, I can't imagine going ANY longer. Only way 30 yard work imo regularly would be with a roll off truck.

Unsure, not needed in Texas
Are you out of Dallas Tx
Yes sir
What can you tell me about Puma roll off trailers
Unfortunately not much, haven't seen them in person.
Why not do junk removal with a hook truck instead of a trailer?
I now have a hook truck, but still don’t do junk removal. Too busy delivering dumpsters.
Can’t you run pj roll offs and lonestar roll offs with a pj trailer?
Yes, PJ cans do fit LoneStar trailers as well as MaxxD, the pins just have to be swapped out on the locking mechanism.

As a Trailer mfg whos in the process of manufacturing roll offs trailers and bin THIS is the video i needed brother super informative me and my bro are getting into he did 6 1/2 years in the army and i want to see him build a company and im gonna build all his containers as well as others !
Where did you buy the dumpsters?
Keystone Waste Solutions! Best in the business, tell them I sent you!
Thank you for a great deal of information
To me the biggest challenge I see with starting this business is "where do you put the dumpsters if they are not being used?" Having the infrastructure for that is an obstacle for a lot of people. A truck and some dumpsters is relatively inexpensive comparatively. This may be a geographical thing, but leasing or buying land where I live is absurdly expensive.
I don’t think I ever looked at that as a challenge really because I’ve always had a place to store them, but I can see what you mean for sure. Even if it’s a small yard outside of town, around here they wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. But I know other places are much more expensive.
I plan on separating from the Air Force soon (13 years and just can't do it anymore) and I plan on moving back home to my great state of Texas and doing a similar business. Great video man, lots of good info.
Thanks for your service brother and best of luck to you!!
Thank you for the info and actually inspiration I've been thinking about this for 2 years I will pull trigger now thanks to you
Love to hear this!! Best of luck and keep us updated!!
great info. not too many people do what you do, the sun comes up for everyone, but not everyone can see the sun.
Amen Juan!! Thank you for the watch and comment!
I wished all these manufacturers you mentioned actually had the prices listed on there web pages
2019 sierra with a 14k roll off. Bumper pull. I currently get 12 mpg because it's lifted and once with a trailer I'm sure it'll be less but I'm ready to get in the game and eventually buy a old 7.3 Ford or whatever
7.3's are great trucks!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters appreciate your live vid today! I'm constantly watching your videos man !
I do junk removal no taxes of course but I'm adding a dumpster rental... Should I charge taxes to dumpster rental?
Depends on your state. TX, yes.
we bought a house with 1 acre. now i got the space to store trailers and dumpsters. iv been hauling metal for 8 years. tin and other metal. i want to get a larger trailer. jumping into the roll off business might be a good thing. also i want to deliver fire wood. ill try a little bit of everything and see what brings home the bacon.
Congratulations!! I would love to use my land however, it is not near my service area and would not be efficient to use at all. Best of luck to you!
Great video! Go Pack Go!🧀
Heck yea Go Pack!!!
Appreciate it man! Where do you drop off the trash and how much does it usually cost for disposal?
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As for trash disposal, it really depends on where you live. I would recommend checking with your local waste management services for the nearest drop-off location and their pricing. Around here, my rates are around $45/ton
Titan diesel??
Love your videos. You can order a one ton truck with a 10k down grade package.
Appreciate it, you are 100% correct
Witch is better gooseneck or the other,easier to move around
Once you get used to it, the gooseneck is better, hauls better, hauls more, has more mobility but also requires a bigger learning curve to get used to.
Hey bro i saw a video and you mentioned the headpiece you use, i want to get my dad some can you get me the name of it?

@@AmericanAFDumpsters thank you brother I appreciate it.
@@motorhead883_8 I still LOVE using them. Literally use them every day. Every now and then there is interference sometimes but other than that they are awesome.
Thank you for your input your giving precious jewels to us guys that want to get in this recession proof business
I appreciate it brother! Best of luck to you.
Really great info!!
Do you rent a yard to keep your dumpsters or do you keep at your house? I have plenty of yard to keep about 6 dumpsters in my back yard, just wondering if that’s allowed in Texas? Also do you allow concrete/tile to go into your dumpsters or does that get too heavy? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the watch Eddie. Regarding your question about if keeping 6 dumpsters in your back yard is allowed is really up to your city. If you live in the county and not within the city limits there are usually no restrictions. Other cities, or worse yet HOA you have to check with them honestly. As far as concrete/tile I do allow tile but give them a mark on the trailer they cannot go over. Wayyy too heavy.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters Thank you for responding! Another question on the new containers that you’re buying from Keystone, do you know if they fit most trailers or which trailers do you know they fit? Thank you
starting a business is not easy and to be successful depends on you , i been in different small business like tree work and landscape and stump grinding and carpet cleaning and power washing and deck cleaning and i failed at them all , now im a trucker and make 80k a year and all i gotta is not crash but i guess i still got the self employment bug because when i drive i think about it , i failed i think because im not a likeable guy , people dont enjoy dealing with me , im not a jerk i just dont have the magic that it takes , ive seen the magic my brother has and somehow he gets people eating out of his hand while i always hard a time and usually any customer i got was a 1 time deal ,,, i would really suggest a person do a in person sales job just to see if its easy for u to talk to people and u could be like me where its easy for me to talk to people but the magic is getting them to talk to you and believing you are the right person for them , thats the magic and thats what keeps me truckin because i dont need the magic out here good luck people
Bro I know what you mean. I have a resting bitch face 😂
Also being in the limo industry has always been uncomfortable for me, mainly because I never liked dressing in suits and ties, just not my thing. At least the dumpster biz I can dress how I want and comfortably!! Everything else you can hire out for!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters That’s why I think about dumpsters because Innoway it’s got to be the easiest thing in the world to sell basically it’s just do you want one or not there’s not much other than that
u reference 'standard rails' but you don't say what that measurement is !!!!
I think we just get too used to saying standard rails that we forget what the measurements even are! I believe they are 36"
36" outside to outside on trailer or 36" inside to inside on trailer? Thanks@@AmericanAFDumpsters
Josh I truly appreciate what you do on this channel. What a wealth of knowledge and advice, thank you.
I appreciate that! That means a lot!! Hope I helped a little bit.
Does Load Trail have standard rails?
Honestly, I don't think so. Might want to check with them.
What brand cargo trailer was the 4000 dollar one? Great content thanks!
I believe it was called a C&S or something like that. Built locally in Waxahachie
Thanks brother!
Great info thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing with us Josh 👍 .
Absolutely my pleasure!! Thanks as always for watching!
Do you have a 2500 or 3500?
2500
Good info
Appreciate it!
Cool job
How you finance ?
Great vid. Full of great info.
The local trash company offers large roll offs. I want to get a couple dump trailers. I live in a town of about 80 thousand people and no one else that I know of is doing this. Dump fees are expensive ($25 per yard) maybe that's why?
Also big dogs usually have contracts with the local cities, banning all other competition from coming in. Check with your city.
you just need a huggy wuggy !!!! great video !! i am looking a PJ rollster
Have you not taken anything away from my videos?!?! Lol JK!
i hit the like button do i get some large fries?
Haha and a jr sized cheese burger.
