    I’m also getting to know various thrift store employees . One manager told me that if she doesn’t know you , she’s more likely to take less stuff from you . And please be sure to check all donations for hazards like needles . She’s actually banned a couple junk removal companies for things like that . She’s trying to make sure her staff and volunteers are not injured . So chat them up 😊

    How do you manage calls while being on the truck? I end up missing many.
    Also thanks for the vid, so much value! I’m way too cheap I’m $380 for 10 cubic yard load.

    • @lugstarsjunkremoval
      @lugstarsjunkremoval  8 месяцев назад +3

      Yeah I would be at 500 for that, then increase for high dump fees if you have them. The calls... I force myself to answer. Sweating, dirty, whatever. I get airpods and put them in when needed

    Appreciate the videos, I called perfect click and they wanted $900 minimum per month to start. Said leads would be $20 to $30 each, I'm curious how it's going seems you've been with them for months now so I assume it's working great. Can you do a video on the dashboard and reporting they provide?

    In this type of service... Seems to need a high population county. 25 miles radius around my home is maybe 125,000 ppl. Vs 45 mins away being at 788,000. What population would you recommend for a healthy junk removal company? What is yours?

    • @lugstarsjunkremoval
      @lugstarsjunkremoval  9 месяцев назад +1

      For full time and only junk removal it’s said 1 million in population but I would recommend offering other services as well to close the gap. Cleaning, moving etc

  • @intothevoid1926
    @intothevoid1926 9 месяцев назад +1

    Kicking around the idea of doing this. Already have a truck, trailer, land, means of disposal. Only setback I see to starting is that I'm in a low population county. Surrounding counties are low population also. Fuel costs/time on road seems to be a big factor in this endeavor.

    • @lugstarsjunkremoval
      @lugstarsjunkremoval  9 месяцев назад +3

      For sure, but you can do a couple things. Add a service so you can do more than junk removal and get more business. (moving, cleaning, etc). Make the drive and become the only name out there doing it. Use your land for dumpster rental and go out to find cheap dumpsters or dumpster trailers

      You can't get around it, it's required by Government to get more money out of hardworking taxpayers trying to survive in this world.
      In other country, government don't intervene when it comes to making a living.
      Don't have strict license and permit requirements.
      Sometimes not even a business license.
