Why is it tho, for the most part in our industry guys can't or won't do that tho? They seriously feel like they are missing out if they don't take every single rental. I'm going to talk about this next week and how our customers are telling us how to do our jobs, its just crazy the amount of guys in dumpster rentals who get pistol whipped daily by contractors and homeowners.

Guys, defintely stay under CDL 😊 This is the one point I disagree with, but over 26k does definitely bring a lot of obstacles and costs, as well as a lot of rewards. You need to be sure the customers are there, but if you've got them I would move forward. John's right There's no reason to buy a truck that only works in neutral, zero. If your upfitter is trying to sell you one get a new upfitter. 54" is definitely the way to go, again, if you're upfitter is pushing 36", get a new one. You lose all that leverage and diminish the capacity of what your hoist should be able to do.

As someone who has been hauling dumpsters for almost 10 years, both multi axle straight truck and semi truck trailer configurations. I have to say you’re spot on and all great information for someone trying to get into the industry. The only thing I can add is and I’m pretty sure all hook lifts are standard 36” rail (but I could be wrong). Make sure your system is standard rail if you plan on expanding into a fair sized operation or want to get into CDL trucks. That way all you’re trucks are running the same rail system and can haul the same dumpsters with little to no modification of the dumpster. Also the point on automatic transmissions is dead on. Although I have both a stick and automatic and I personally prefer the stick. Finding people that can drive a stick especially in the CDL world is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Most hooklift systems on the market come with easy to read manual and installation kit. People should be more concerned on learning their hooklift system and mechanics than who did the installation. Great points an advice 👏 👍

@samedaydumpster

11 ай бұрын

But the reason people ask who did the installation.... They can assess the amount of risk and problems that truck will likely give them. Example, if a guy reads a manual and does the install himself, but it's only his first install, you can with an extremely high amount of certainty plan on that truck will have some issues related to the upfit. Now if someone buys a truck from someone or some company that has literally installed 100's if not 1,000's of these systems, your risk level goes down on account for their experience and knowledge during the install. Everyone however should be concerned with how their hook system works to your point, agreed.

The rationalization of doing it yourself is something that makes me laugh. It is a reality in any profession and any job across the board. People will always rationalize what they want based off of saving a couple hundred dollars. Its a lot of money but in the end buy once cry once.

I’ve been in the trash business for about 35 years, and I do run a roll off truck. We have both systems Palfinger and Ampliroll both are fantastic systems well built. I digress, in my opinion and experience, these guys that run the small single axle hook trucks should have a CDL. I’ll tell you why, quite a few drivers drive a little reckless. For example, weaving in and out of traffic, cutting off us bigger roll off trucks in traffic or at the transfer station. These guys don’t realize we are 35k - 60k+ . So, just because a roll off sites on a heavy pickup doesn’t mean they need to drive it like these yayhoo’s in the 4 wheelers. In my personal opinion I think every commercial vehicle truck from semi’s to lawn guys pulling the mower trailer around needs to have some type of CDL training. All of us are supposed to be professional drivers, so act like it, it leaves a go image on you and your company. I’m a class A driver. Good video very professional, thanks.

Lots of good stuff, I'll disagree a little bit, the problems you state with going over CDL are regional, not so much a general perfect rule, the only trouble we have is getting CDL drivers. We suffer absolutely none from competing with the big dog in our area, we take more work off of them than we can keep up with sometimes, despite not beating them in price. The other thing is your big automatic rule. I would never buy another manual truck for our dumpster company, but I have no trouble from the manual truck I drive myself for the sake of it not being auto. I drive a '99 Volvo tri axle with an ISM and 13 speed, Galbreath 50k hooklift, I do dumpsters for our demolition jobs, haul equipment in dumpsters, haul a good deal of gravel and dirt in an air tailgate box, and pull a tagalong trailer hauling equipment. I've put a lot of hours in both sides, and when I go from one of our brand new rolloffs to our old Volvo hooklift, it really doesn't pain me at all to go without the auto. LIVE PTO is what I miss, but most of the time it really doesn't matter to me anyway, big dumpsters hold in place better than small ones when operating in neutral, and it doesn't make a difference hauling gravel or pulling a trailer. I'm not trying to put 10 yards in house driveways without rolling the dumpster wheels with it. When I replace that Volvo, it will be with another pre emissions truck, which almost guarantees another manual, and I will gladly do that, because God knows we've spent tens of thousands more on emissions systems and sensors than any manual transmission work. It would be different if it was a hired driver and not me, but I see no issue with a manual hooklift truck if it's being driven by the owner or another old school driver, and they aren't bothered by dead PTO.

On the contrary, I would never buy a truck with a tarp system for an operation running under 40 yard cans. Takes my driver maybe 5 minutes to tarp a load, 5 min to untarp it. Costs me pennies in labor. Roll Rite tarp system is $10K+ and they are unreliable. They break constantly, and the customer overfills the dumpster 8/10 times even after you tell them, so you end up getting caught on all kinds of miscellaneous junk when you go to use it. I often see guys with expensive auto-tarpers who have manually tarped loads. The economics of the auto tarp do not make sense to me.

If you're a mechanically inclined person with the proper tools and know how building a truck is the way to go. It'll be exactly what you want when you're done and you can put all the custom touches on it that the "pros" don't have time for.

I strongly believe #5 depends on who you view as the "Professionals" vs who just says they are the pros. I'll take someone who has build 100's and 100's of hooklift trucks over a weekend garage warrior anyday. But that's just me and how I prefer to spend my money.

4 minutes of info....14:30 minutes of over dramatization.

Why would any body on planet earth want an automatic?

1. Better fuel mileage. 2. Longer life of the transmission. 3. Less repairs. 4. More efficient. 5. Larger pool of drivers. 6. Larger supply of aftermarket parts. 7. Better resale of the truck. 8. Customize your transmission for alerts and shutdowns. I actually appreciate this comment as it gave me a great idea for an upcoming episode as it illustrates the lack of knowledge of automatic transmissions and why the entire trucking industry shifted towards automatic transmissions. So Thank You for your comment.

All your advice is wrong

I just went to your channel to learn something new today... Nothing, zero, absolutely no information except hate on my channel. Drop your comments elsewhere.

If my truck only hauled 26,000 pounds, I would not be able to do half the jobs with it. I run to an aggregate yard to pick up my block sand 22 a slag other materials like that this is why I need a class seven and not a class six my truck is good till 36,000 pounds 8 tons. Your truck is good for 3 1/2 ton. I can take a dumpster and pack it myself with trash to over 7 ton really wish GM would make up class seven looks like won’t be getting rid of my Kodiak anytime soon too good of a truck it is unbeatable. I put it against any hook truck.

Do you have a recommended wheelbase length?

One of these trucks had a CA of 108" the other was 120" It really comes down to how tight of spaces your deliveries will be in. I do a lot in the downtown area, so the shorter of the two was absolute money spot on for me. Great question BTW. Thanks for the comment and taking time to watch and support the channel.
