    brotha you have to charge extra for any load higher than 1 ton that's where the profit comes in even if its a pound over you charge the rate for a full load extra then you'll make a little bit more profit another thing is if the deliver is far away you have to charge for that an extra $40-$60. How I did it before when I've done it a few time is $350 for 5 days (no one ever needs it for that long) then every ton after the first ton I charge $50 extra even if it isn't the full 2 tons. If the deliver radius is to far you charge for that and if they don't want to pay tell em to kick rocks.

      But I don't like dumpster rental as a main hustle personally its just one of a side add-on to a main business for pocket cash.

      People in my area are including 2 tons for the most part. Gotta be competitive. Otherwise no one will rent them...I don't count on dumpster rentals it's just some extra cash to help cash flow stuff it's a very competitive market in my area

    Dumpster rental is fun because all you do is push a button and everything falls off! LOL. But honestly, it is a great side hustle income sometimes, just time consuming, but if you love what you do, time is priceless.

    Amen brother! The first five years is a slow and difficult grind. Keep getting positive reviews, referrals and do what's right for the customer, you'll have a steady stream of customers wanting you, even if your pricing is higher.

    Taking a 50 minute ride is your mistake! Set up a circumference from home base, don’t go out of it unless you’re charging extra for something that far away!

    • @JackofHaulTrades
      @JackofHaulTrades  Před 2 dny

      Yeah, I'm going to start charging extra. But the problem with that is that people are even cheaper than me. So it's hard to get customers at a higher cost 🤷‍♂️

    I mocked up some numbers based on prices in my area and came up with the same idea that you have to have alot of cans to make some money. I'll stick to lawn maintenance for now. But i want a stump grinder and mini skid 😂.
