@@Subi_dooyeah I think people need to realize you’re not making 20k a month from a side hustle. This has to be a business, likely with employees as well. But it also really depends on your area if you’re in a smaller town, yeah good luck unless you’re mostly targeting construction companies

That's because you have one dumpster and you're using it as a rental instead of applying yourself a different way and riding around and picking the junk up and dumping it yourself you will make a lot more money doing it that way but running dumpsters for 300 bucks for 3 days and expecting 20K is just retarded Don't do that

I purchased my first dump in 2006 and used it as a dumpster for my construction company to save on dumpster fees. After 3 years I sold it to another contractor and purchased my second dump with the 4’ sides, barn doors and I installed the ICC dust bars so I can roll and unroll my tarp. I learned to make extra money was to do clean outs and scrap metal pick ups. Also to sort my debris from my construction sites. I also rent it out to other contractors and charge them $250 plus the cost of the load, which depends on mileage from the dump station. If you have a few dump trailers you can make some money with them. Both of my trailers have already paid for themselves many times over. Thank you for the video

Your chains should be criss crossed to catch the trailer so it doesn’t drag on the road if it were to come off. Also I’m not sure what the rules are where you are but in Canada where I’m at the break away wire for the trailer brakes needs to be on its own hook and not on the trailer chains. We actually got a $300 ticket for having it on the chain hooks.

Make sure to lock up your safety chains, I believe your proven industries lock has a location for them. The reason behind this is a lot of thieves will just hook those up and take off with your trailer without even using the hitch ball until they’re safely away from where they stole it. Just another way to slow them down at least.

I bought a cam superline back in 2013. I absolutely love this trailer. It still looks almost new now. Bought it with aluminum ramps which make using a wheel barrel with it a dream. A role up tarp and we told them we were going to do carved signage like what was on our Ram trucks. For an extra hundred they made me 6 parts a slotted rear for each side that bolted on. A middle plate for strength for each of the sides that bolted on. And the complex front slots that did the side walls plus the front wall. They power coat finished them and the dealer installed them I had my guy make the cypress signs for this 12x7 foot trailer and the 12 foot long 10 inch wide 2 inch thick boards with my company logo craved into them slid right in the slots. Also upgraded to some gorgeous aluminum rims and they factory de-rated the trailer for me. So it was a 12k gvw trailer them made it 9990 for me so not cdl requirements here. Back then with tax reg and all the things I did including the $1000 on cypress signs and the front board as well came to $10,000. Now I am not going to add up the jobs I have done with the trailer. I do mulch with it I take her for seeding jobs. I use it as my rolling dumpster for 30 plus pruning jobs a year and I use her as stick dumpster where all the branches my landscaping company collects end up. What I will add up is how much money the trailer as actually saved me instead. So first thing is it allowed me to sell a 89 gmc 3500 diesel dump truck. This was a rust bucket that we started my company with had it for 10 years. It was reliable always started with no issues the motor was strong. We used the truck the same way we use this trailer it wasn't our main truck. The truck had 2000 miles a year on it in the time I owned it. That cost on average 2200 a year in repairs. Tires brakes exhaust transmission radiator you name it it wore out in that time. We also spent around 1500 a year insuring it. Fuel is easy to figure about 9 mpg times 3 bucks ave over 10 years and thats 666 a year. Registration was another 180 a year and then came town property tax that was another 150 a year. One more cost was dumping it the dump site always hit me for more then I had so an extra 2 yards per dumping at there prices figure and extra 300 a year in that cost. So grand total the GMC was costing me 4996 dollars a year to own it. The cam super line costs me 1 dollar a year for the insurance on it. Repairs have been a battery in the last 10 years so figure that at 20 dollars a year. Registration has been 100 dollars. Property taxes have been 60 dollars. Then we go to dumping and it fits significantly more then the GMC could and it doesn't look like it when its loaded. So Ill dump with a maxed out load of 10 yards of brush and they write it in as 6. So the true cost of dumping a year is -500. So the cost of owning this trailer is Minus 319 dollars a year. So Buying the dump trailer has saved in 10 years time $53,150 - $10,000 to buy it + $4000 I recouped selling the old gmc. Giving a grand total of $47,150 in savings and that doesn't including a single jobs income.

Great video, love the real world experience vs click bait channels! One thing that stands out to me is how the trailer was weighed. If a trailer is setup properly 10-20% of its weight should be on the tongue (dump trailers are typically on the higher end since the wheels are so far back). If they only weigh the trailer with 2,000# of trash…they will only see 1,700 on the scale assuming 15% tongue weight…

Maybe when u pull into the dump yard, put a magnet sweeper under the front bumper and then that hangs down in front of the trailer tires to keep from getting nails

I have a 20’ landscaping trailer w dual axles and what I do is that I have a very thick metal chain w a hook , it’s about 2” links and one end is locked under the frame and then I bring my spare tire and put a hitch to my coupler and insert my spare through that and I also have a 14’ strap that wraps around all of the chains and into the frame . In total there are three locks and chains plus the strap to have to break off plus the safety chains are also locked to the spare tire . One time my neighbor stopped a guy from stealing my 5x8 while I was at church . He only needed to break one more lock and that’s when Steve caught em .

Need some help hooking up that trailer. Chains should be crossed so they will catch the trailer if it comes unhooked from the ball. Also they should be latched into the hitch, hooks are not designed to have force all they way on the end. And finally the breakaway cable should be independent from the chain it is a last resort if the ball come unhooked and the chains break. This is why CDL is required for a trailer that size in most states, not sure about cali but in CT i know it is.

I was going to buy a dump trailer. I only buy stuff used so I was ok with it getting beaten up. My buddy was selling a 14x7 dump trailer for $7,000 that I was really considering. I decided 7k was too much and a few months later I bought a dump truck for $2,000. I carried 7 tons of sand the other day and it never even came close to being overloaded. Didn’t even lower! Not kidding. No one wants a 45 year old so I’m never worried someone will steal it like a dumb trailer. I can also pull equipment with ease with my truck. Insurance is $135/mo and that’s commercial.

@@gunnerranch thanks! However, for now, I have a 22 trail boss 1500, I'll get a similar trailer but I can only haul 10k lbs for now, then I'll upgrade to a HD diesel later.

Tony, in the video I seen a man using a modified flatbed trailer possibly a car hauler unloading at the same time you were. I'm interested in trying this trash hauling business out. I have a car hauler with dual 3500lb axles, It's 17'x7'. Thinking of converting it to do this type of work. Going out and buying a dump trailer is not an option. Recently let go from work so I need to work with what I have. Your thoughts?

That will work however depending on what your axles are rated for and if you can build sides for it. Also if you want to manually dump the trash by hand. If so your golden. Customers don't care they just want the trash gone. I say go for it!

@@gunnerranch I plan to build sides for it. A combination of metal and wood, for now until I can afford to purchase metal plate for the walls. Hopefully I can come up with a way to use the 12klb winch to unload the trash. I've seen a few ideas already.

I'd recommend getting a roller for areas where your cable touches, but to start any rounded surface is better that corners

Progressive? Maybe they are always cheap. Just get basic insurance on both.

What about the tongue tow weight.

You should haul it to Winnipeg MB--- it is only 17 bucks to dump it

I'm trying to decide between a dump and a roll off to start my business

I have a 2007 Tahoe LS. Would your type of trailer work for my truck?

Well the trailer weighs 5k pounds it's self. You'd be really pushing your Tahoe for this. I have a Tahoe and have towed the trailer. It slumps it. You'll need to add a E brake controller. Look them up on amazing for your truck. Easy install yourself.

If the trailer was loaded up to the top with concrete pieces, rebar, soil, etc...could the trailer hydraulics still raise/tilt it enough to dump it? Also, what's the max weight you could load the trailer?

@gunnerranch

Ok you never want to load concrete at the head. Middle is better it just depends on what your particular trailer can lift. Mine can life about 12000 pounds.

We’re do you advertise?

Great video! Cross your chains though!

Thank you! Will do. Need to make them longer.

Do u have to put the trash in the dump or the customer?

Ive seen guys who put a boot on the trailer tire to make theft harder. Nothing will be full proof. Does your insurance not cover theft?

Do you have comercial insurance on your truck and trailer?

How much do you think is the cost to pay and the dumpster location for that

For what? A dumpster?

Thumbs up for FJB, lol! I'm just looking for a side hustle, and thinking about renting out my car hauler. I was going to advertise on CL. What's the proper way to rent this out to people, should I print out a contract, copy their ID and take a deposit? I just don't want my trailer to get stolen. Thanks-

That's when u need discount tire coverage. Fix those nails for free and if not repairable, $20 for a new tire

Thank you for sharing a day in the life video. Super informative video and will help me when the time comes for me to purchase a dump trailer.

That seems expensive to dump. In Turlock CA it’s about $35 if less than a ton…

Wow thank you for the bid appreciate the honesty. I currently have a dump trailer I used to use for dirt loads but interested in doing rentals. Would you mind helping a brother out ? I’m willing to pay for consultation/ mentoring
