I wish I would have commented sooner to thank you for all the tips, tricks, and advice. I watched this video about 2 months ago and put all your words to work. I started with just my pickup truck, registered my business, made a website, and went to work knocking on doors. Today, 2 months in, im now equiped with 2 trailers - one being a standard trailer used for hauling junk/scrap metal, and the other for renting out for people to fill up and Ill pick it up the next day to haul away. Both trailers were completely funded by what Ive made and reinvested back into the business, plus have made just shy of $6,000 in net profits. I'm on track to drop my full time job to be 100% committed to my business, and I can't help but thank you enough man. This video has built my life long passion.
Just watched this video, and read your comment and it honestly inspired me. I’ve been working in construction for about two years now. Wanted to start my own company for years and I feel like this is the route I’m going to take. God bless! I’ll be back in a couple months to let you know where I’m at.
@adamcarcache1009 Congrats brother! I have a few tips and tricks I've learned along the way in what is now 4 months in. I'm looking to buy a dump trailer soon, I'm on my local radio now, verified on Google whole nine yards. These have been the most stressful yet stress free I've been yet haha
Great advice! I work nights at my main job and run my dump trailers in the morning. Just getting started.
Great way to do it. Don't burn yourself out!
Haha I do the same thing brotha I realized I’ve been making really good money!
Do you have and advice for someone starting with just a truck
@@devynbrinsfield Heck yeah! A little over 6 months in and I now have a mini roll off trailer with some dumpsters and still doing junk removal in between. Just had my best week ever. Made more money in 1 week than I do all month at my 6 figure night job. Trash = cash!
How do I charge like what’s the basics?
Just got a pick up truck and was wondering how I can make money with it, been watching your videos and you’re very inspirational and informative. Thank God for people like you much respect bro!!!!
I'm an instant subscriber. I been looking for advice on how to start, you didn't beat around the bush, you didn't offer "classes on sale right now!". This has been incredibly helpful. Love your face man!! 😊
Excellent video Steve. Brutally honest and packed full of great advice.
Thanks Larry! I like to do things cut and dry no fluff.
This was such great advice! I work construction full time but wanted to start a side business but was struggling on how to start. Your back story was a huge help. Thanks!
Awesome video brother! Binging on your videos! thank you! inspirational is short of what you are... you said so many things I relate to which have also kept me from taking the leap... down here in Texas you've got a follower! thank you!
I'm starting out the same way with my old f150. Damn dude this really inspired me to keep going. It reminded it that's it's ok to just go for it. Thank you
Get after it!!!! Take pictures of the truck while you're using it. I wish I did. Something cool to look back on.
Hey man how’s your bossiness going?
LET’S GO BRANDON!!
@@parkeranderson5074 dude hell yea
@@TheGjkddk 1st off, I would totally recommend starting a junk/trash company. I definetely felt like it could be a long term business for sure! But I found a job that I wanted real bad and pays me enough to not have to do this on the side anymore. My junk removal truck is my home dumpster now which is pretty badass lol
You're a bad ass dude. Thank you due this video man. Amazing message and truly appreciate the motivation you provided.
I love the candor and honesty with which you share your story. It's very inspiring.
You also have a great way of expressing yourself and your point. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Calvin!
Great video and inspiration for people wanting to start up their own business. Planning on starting up something small on the side out here in Dallas, TX I have a full time job at night and was thinking of doing this in the morning and weekends. I have a 2008 Ford Sport Trac and looking into buying a 5x10 utility trailer to start off. Thanks to your knowledge and tips.
Thats a great idea and a great way to get into the business. Don't burn yourself out with 24 hour days!
Hell yeah Steve! Got me pumped! Took down some notes and what really hit me was the “Just Do It” and “use what you have” i made the decision to start my business today! Ima put my 95 Ram to work! Thanks Steve!
Get after it Ricardo! Its only up from here
Appreciate this video and your candid honesty!! Thank you for the info❤
I’m in the middle of starting right now bro you’re legit for this! Kept it simple and real! It’s encouraging thank you!
How’s your success story going on your start up?
Your videos are so helpful! Steve thank you for your time!
I like you man, present yourself in a great way and putting us all onto game 💪🏼just gained a subscriber and a supporter . Keep putting in work and doing great things
Your awesome dude! Thank you because this was very honest because I’m nervous, even though I’m like man up!
Yea man I mean.... your starting a business! Pretty heavy stuff but if you look at it with a different approach it becomes more attainable. Just be realistic with yourself and whatever you do, don't compare yourself to others. It will kick you when you're down
Thank you, I appreciate this... awesome to see you doing good...
Awesome video sir really appreciate the honesty. I've been wanting to start a business of my own and be my own boss. Thanks for making it easy. God bless
Bro! 👍🏼 this is what I want to do. Thanks for thoughts and advice God Bless!! 😀
this was super helpful for me. im a 16 year old kid trying to start a junk removal/land clearing and lawn care business and eventually get into rental homes
Thanks for the insight man. I’m trying to start something this year but the lack of experience and the confidence in being an owner dwells in my head.
Don't dwell on anything dude just get out there and start working. I knew NOTHING about owning a business 4 years ago and I'm STILL learning to this day.
Omg, thank you for the inspiration. I am a hard working woman who is looking to start something like this. Actually me and my husband together. Pease keep inspiring, while God is blessing you, your unselfishness is inspiring others. 😊
Small cheap 16ft box truck or cargo van are also good start up vehicles for junk removal. I've always had the mindset of starting with the low overhead and building yourself up from there. You have great solid advice, especially for those who wants to come in to the business. Just subbed to your channel, take care and peace ✌️
We just bought a 16' box truck about 4 months ago and we are still looking for work. Just stumbled across this video. Maybe this is it!
Thank you!! very much it will help me a lot with my new junk & Hauling business. Thank you again.
Excellent video that can serve as inspiration for those looking to launch their own company. Thanks to your knowledge and suggestions!
That’s right just do it. I’m in my 09 Silverado been busy almost everyday this year. Dump truck here I come!!!
There we go! The day you get that dump truck will be unforgettable. I remember when I picked mine up I was driving down the street screaming at the top of my lungs. Cherish the moment.
Sir this is Great video raw and honest alot of people need to here this .Thank you!!!!!!!
Just started mine thanks for the info bro put a lot of things into perspective for me
You're welcome Julius! Happy Hauling!
Straight forward, love it.
That way things should be!
I like what you said about the build your business brand of the big guys and the big guy business will come. I had a personal training business from 2008-2013 and competed with people that had copious college degrees. I just had my grit and certificates. But I carried myself like one of them but** better. Good stuff.
Name of the game!
First time viewing your channel. Love it, man, it is great info. I am just starting here in Ontario, Canada as a supplement to my retirement income. I always wanted to do it and did it in the past, occasionally. Loved it. It was like treasure hunting and getting paid to do it. Thanks again.
It's a great business to be in but a lot harder that some may think! Don't get lost in the treasure hunter and wind up not making any money!
Great content sir! Keep up the great work
Thank you your video unlighted me and gave me hope and motivation. I am in PHX AZ
Thank you, this was so much help!!
Steve you have no idea how valuable your perspective is
I'm Rinky dink right now but your progression is my goal
Cheers bud
Thanks brother!
I'd like to tell everyone who is starting out....don't do a job for FREE. And by that I mean CHEAP !!!
There is a guy in town here who will do a 1/2 ton load for $50...and that include the dump fee. He is NOT making money.
Think about your time, the cost of insurance and your truck, then add profit.
It's OK to start small...rent a U-haul truck or a trailer if you have to....but START.
My biggest tip...bring a broom....people love it when the job is clean. All the best, Rick
Another great video man! I’m the one that texted you about your website being down. Just started making junk removal vids as well. you inspired me man. Been going above & beyond on every job and getting those google reviews up 😎
Whats up brother!? When I got that text I was like, what??? My website is on a super strong server and I was happy to learn it was not down lol. Good lookin out though and keep grinding!
@@SteveConroy1 what server you using? I have wpx and they are awesome. Been with them for 5+ years.
Hey man such a great video...I'm a big fan and subscriber. I'm in Property preservation and just needed another wing for the business.
Hell yea, this is a perfect addition!
Hey Steve! I really like your video and will watch more. I'm a 59yo guy, good shape, do my own rental property management (i.e. houses) and used to work in the medical field. I got burnt out working medical for over 35 something years. I got into rentals 20 years ago and love fixing houses, landscape, demo, etc So, I found your YT pages and I think what you are doing is so great! I'm really happy to see entrepreneurs and folks like yourself doing what makes you happy. I have a pickup, do my own bookkeeping, have no problem marketing myself (I was an independent contractor and worked for a company in medical 20 years), but the pricing the items is what I find a little more curious to learn. Any advice? Do you factor time spent (hourly) and dump fees too? You touched on this in this video. I will watch your other videos to learn more. Thank you and wish you best!!!
I love how local you are!
Watching from Peterborough 705!
Keep killing it my friend
There we go!
New to this, I currently have a truck and trailer. Looking for something new. I really appreciate what your doing.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated!
Always! Your name sounds like you should be throwing 95 over the plate lol.
Awesome. I just got my LLC after being an authorized contractor for a junk removal company. Have a 6x10 steel trailer @ the moment & baby'ing my truck as well. Looking forward to the journey after seeing ur video. Thanks
Don't loose sight of the "journey" because that's what this is! Good luck out there!
Love the energy and your story of perseverance 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Your Honesty goes a long way 🤘
Thank you brother!
Hey Man, love your page. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Thank you brother!
Thank you for this! I’m getting ready to try this part time and my biggest fear and concern is that I don’t know “everything” right off the bat.
Haha I hear you about the business card thing man! I currently have college hunks pulling my yard signs up and putting theirs down. The battle is on 😎
If you follow my instagram scroll down to the college hunks picture I took. They stole my Lug Away sign off of my property and threw a bunch of brochures on my front porch 😂I called the franchise in my area and left him a message and never heard back. HORRIBLE way to run your business.
@@SteveConroy1 wow that’s dirty and low of them. I’ll def check it out on insta!
Steve your videos are awesome. I’m contemplating on starting my very own junk hauling business. Any advice. Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you brother am really looking into changing my life n my families...very helpful tips
Just getting started. Great info! Ty
Thank you for the honesty. Been wanting to do it for awhile. Think I’m finally gonna do it.
Take the leap!
Do it man!!! Get yours!
Right on 💯. Thank you
I love your energy and mindset. Thank you!
Positive energy, positive mindset. They are both necessary in all aspects of life
Great video this gave more motivation to start I am also located in Massachusetts thank you
Your are inspiration for new starters like us . Thanks
Great advice. This seems like a good business to get into and I've been kicking around the idea for some extra cash. I don't have a truck, but your advice on getting a trailer would work for my Tiguan. Thanks.
You can really start with anything as long as it has something you can fill attached it it or thats part of it. Be careful of weight limits!
Thanks for the advice bro I’m encouraged!
Love to hear it!
Dope info, man. Thank you
Good stuff man. You need to post a video on how your found and joined those mom groups on FB.
I didn't join them! Thats the best part. My customers are so thrilled to have hired us that they. voluntarily plug us when others in those groups ask for services like ours.
Good info man I'm in Connecticut and u r spot on I started kind of the way u did. Just have to figure it out. Toughest thing is pricing and getting jobs. I do have a full time job that helps out.
Awesome to watch also cool to see you are from MA
Thanks brother!
Great job my man🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽
Great video and explains alot about to start a junk removal
Loved it! I started 8 months ago (part-time) and your stories are similar to mine. Lost my butt on a couple jobs and scored big on some. Still figuring it out. Keep grinding bro
That's the only way to do it!
Any update ?
I'm going to do this ! Thanks for inspiration...
Get after it!
This video a blessing 😊
Thanks a lot for that info. We about to start our business soon, im rocking a 95 f250 with dump trailer, got the dump trailer early, but figured less time at the dump unloading the more money we can go after. Again thanks for the videos
95 250!? Love it! What dump trailer did you go with?
@@SteveConroy1 10ft Moritz heavy duty, i didn't want to go with a 12 or 14ft trailer starting out. Definitely alot cheaper getting a trailer for now, then work to getting a dump truck later
@@dillonfurr5244 Yea man. Smart move for sure.
Great info, thank you for doing this!
You're welcome!
When you decided to quit the home advisor platform what did you do to gain more clientele. Quitting the home advisor platform is something I’ve been looking into as well. It’s provided a few leads but the cost vs reward doesn’t justify. Great to see your successful with your business out there!
Love your mindset brother
Thank you Sir!
Thanks for the insight! I’m 24 and I’ve been wanting to get this up and running but the owner side gets me scared lol thanks for the gems
Just do it dude. It'll be a little shaky at first but the more you fail the more you learn.
Great content. Thank you much!
Dope dope love the information. Something a lot of people including myself is that we think that we need all this stuff to start something. We don’t realize that all these successful people started out with nothing. Don’t get me wrong a lot of them had a lil boost but it’s the ones who start with nothing that make a great story
Thats why I made the video! You just need to get out there and start getting shit done. Learn from mistakes and understand nothing happens over night
Say it a little louder for the people in the back. I just started a junk removal company and I'm sucking it all in. Homeboy be coming with knowledge that mf's truly need.
@@bigbopete2667 Love this! What happened to littlebopete?
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing !!!!
You're welcome Carlos! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the content ! Where do you dispose all the junk? And do you need a license or dep number?
Bro im thinking of leaving my gov job and workin for myself just about to watch this. Sometimes i think we have to follow what our spirit tells us
Awesome place to put business cards is at gas pumps. Usually a crease in the top corners of the pump
TRUE! I got one of my worst jobs ever from doing that. Never did it again lol. Doesn't mean it wont work for others though. Maybe I'll try it again and see what happens
I am a self employed plumber. I needed a good, simple marketing idea like that. Thank you!
Stumbled across your video .. I Just registered my business in mass as well! Bought an Isuzu NPR box to start . I’m advertising out of Boston and south shore area.
Awesome! Send me your business info. I'll throw you any business I get out that way.
Appreciate your input was really helpful
Happy to help brother!
I have run a small lawn and landscaping business for years now but I know exactly what it’s like being embarrassed about posting on Facebook or doing certain things. I feel like anyone that sees it that knows it’s just me will shake there head or something I don’t know. When you said it I knew exactly what you meant though
Yup. Funny now though because I have those same people hitting me up for our services!
Great Information
Great video , thanks bro.
Great video, I'm bidding a few barn demos now at first i thought$3000 was steep now I'm more comfortable
Everyone gets confused with pricing when starting out because they don't know what it costs to do business as a legit company.
Thank you great information!
Happy to help!
Everything you said in the video was the truth foreal lol. I started mine with a box truck.
Hell yea brother! Where you at now?
@@SteveConroy1 I’m located In Milwaukee Wisconsin started it last year in may made a decent amount of cash so far doin it part time, and working my full time job. Bought a e350 box truck for 2k still running strong. Also you’re right sometimes you’ve to low ball yourself to keep a repeat customer.
Awesome Video !!! Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Nice video, keep up the good work
Thanks Nick!
I appreciate the knowledge.
Happy to help!
Just got inspired thanks bro
Always!
Hey great information...... did you start your business off with a website and if so what platform did you use.
Interesting story, I got burned my first big job also. A garage/barn, pants were ripped from my hip to my knee and I was filthy lol. I made $300 for 2 full days work but we finished.
I have a few too many stories like that but you gotta go through it to understand, learn and respect the value of your business!
Hey Steve, congratulations you are doing a great job with this channel I was inspired by it and now I have my own up and running LLC I got general liability insurance and everything.
I started working my days off my regular work and got really busy mostly thanks to home advisor so I decided to go full time this is my first week as a full time and now I feel that I don't have enough work I don't know how to get more can you please advice me on how to advertise more?
This happens, it's part of the growing process. Stick with it and keep your head up. Big things to come!
Hey do you need a llc and insurance before you get started or can you start with your pick up and get going. Good vid bro
Owner mindset!
Great video very helpful thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video
I started with just my 2wd 15 year old chevy pickup truck. Made 75 first job (priced way too low) $100 next. Just advertised off of fb marketplace with a little ad I made in photoshop. You just start with small jobs to afford either a trailer or a better truck, advertise more, get more reputation.
