Leave it flat and back it right up. With chocks on trailer tires! 🤙

I tilt my trailer up a little for loading my tractor and implements. The skid steer goes in backwards mostly for weight distribution, but it's a gooseneck trailer. My main comment would be get the trailer much closer to your work area so you're not tracking so far. When we're cleaning up sites, clean out a path with the bucket and get the trailer in there so it's a loading frenzy. Way to rock n roll it. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo.

I appreciate it. Normally I do try to get it close but unfortunately they said I could only park in that area. Appreciate you watching.

I'm from Bakersfield and I felt that when you said FJB lmao. Starting my Landscape and Grading business in the next month or two when my c-27 is finished, just waiting on the goofies in Sac (Newsom) to send me my test date. Cool to see someone semi-local to me gettin'r done! Got my dump trailer a few weeks ago and already paid off the first two months with 1 job lol. Just need to find out if i need a skid or a stand-on. Have a good one man.

Video was good editing was good When you charge too little even if it's for a friend don't tell the world It makes everybody think they can get prices like this You used almost a quarter million worth of equipment to make $250 an hour... And that's not all profit You still have to take out all your bills labor wear and tear maintenance insurance and business profit before you can even pay yourself. Only share how much money you make when you are crushing it and getting paid a fair wage for how much you are putting on the line. Most people friend or not won't use that type of equipment for less than 1800 and that's for only about 4 hours for what you did. (2023) I don't know your friend's circumstances but when is he going to cut his prices $1,300 for you? 😮 Good luck with the work and your videos keep it going😊

@@gunnerranch So how has asking customers to pay the dump fees gone? You experience much of an issue collecting? Or should ask, how do you actually go about it? Feel free to make a quick video, so you'll at least get paid for the response. 😂

@gunnerranch Жыл бұрын

@@muletowndumpsters it's pretty easy. Unless you wanna do an all inclusive price you can but you'll screw yourself that way. I just say my rental is 299.99 plus dump fees. Set your dump fee rate to the local price of what your local dump is. I collect the first to price. So if it's $120 that's what I collect. Typically I'm $420 OTD unless it goes over 2000 pounds.

@MIGHTYX2010 10 ай бұрын

All dump or garbage collection should be free of fees issue be included in everyone's taxes it's in everyone's best interest to have trash put in one location Otherwise you get people dumping on the side of roads in the desert etc Not good for anybody So when they start gouging like they are now you're going to see more dump sites pop up in weird crazy locations which then in turn cost the taxpayers a ton of money because the government goes in cleans up those areas eventually but you know they clean it up at what $20,000 per toilet bowl how does that help any of the taxpayers😮

Would you recommend a trailer like yours will the high walls? Or lower walls? I figured low walls would be easier for lifting the bucket over to drop debris in the trailer

@gunnerranch 5 ай бұрын

I would get a trailer with removable walls. 2 feet stock and 2 foot add on. If I had the chance to do it over again I would get a trailer that can carry more weight. I would also at least get a 16 ft. The 14 is a little small in my opinion but it gets the job done.

Sleepy Joe! Lol. Well I'll tell you what most my friends or business owners here where I live and all of us have suffered making about half of what we normally do I own a boat rental business and I can tell you right now that since Joe Biden has been in office we have made half the money that we normally do. I would have rather dealt with Trump's mouth and let him work and make a lot of money. But average people aren't smart like that and hear free and think that they were going to get all kinds of free stuff with Joe Biden and they don't. He fooled everyone The things you are getting free are the tax dollars people are paying into. Are the higher gas rates all the taxes have gone up that's how people are getting stuff free.

So what does Biden have to do with your dump fee?

@gunnerranch 3 ай бұрын

Well let's just start by saying dump fees are now about 30 to $40 higher than they used to be. But you really would have to talk to my tax lady. When Trump was in office We were booming and making so much more money than we are now It's absolutely ridiculous. I don't care what excuses people make the Biden administration and the Democratic parties have really ruined everything. They have ran California into the ground. My w-2s looked so sad this year and last year and the year before that. And they are gradually getting worse and worse and worse it's actually embarrassing Biden and all the Democratic party needs to go already they've failed enough. You can't give everything free someone has to pay for it.
