You guys are awesome. That is the same way we started out. I have a Loadmaster truck now but with all the extra expense I thing it is faster to use the old dump trailer. It was nice having all the trash bagged. We still have one area that we can't drive the trash truck to because it is really rural so we have our carts at their house but they still bag it all so we just pick and toss. Good job. Been actually thing of going back to the trailer on the residential and just doing commercial with the truck because we have 3yd rear loads at those locations. We use to do the commercial by hand but had to do them everyday to keep it under control. Recycling for us doesn't work because of the cost to haul it. We are 200 miles from the nearest recycling center. We are luck as we have a contract with the Town for the next 10 years. Bad part is they regulate what we charge. We have about 450 customers. Keep it simple, keep it cheap. You guys are my hero's. Rock on. I did subscribe, I checked out your web page. Question on the price you charge, is it weekly or monthly?

As to start it, via word of mouth I heard about a very small 50 account route list that was for sale, I bought it (route only not business) but it was hardly profitable even with an old truck.....I had to grow, so after that it was like anything else, 1 customer at a time and patience ,patience ,patience!

They collect revenue, it's perfectly legal and encouraged to film government officials / facilities. If you want zero resistance, install a 4K dash cam. I've never been denied service at my landfill for having my dash cam rolling.

My trash company has a whole fleet of them mounted on 2014 Autocar ACX chassis with the L9 Cummins and 4500 Allison. Might be a good starting place! If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend getting your CDL, it would definitely pay off if you plan on getting some heavy duty trucks.

I was watching a video $20k/mo and you mentioned in that video you had 160 customers. So thats $320/mo? I'm a little confused with the 20k number? Where is the bulk of that coming from? ty.

you do the math wrong, 160x20 makes 3.200 USD, and as he said he had 500 costumer, and i think he charges them 30 usd a month. So 500x30 makes 15k monthly. And the extra 5k comes from the roll off dumpster business@@TheCommercialFam

I'm a trash truck driver for a large municipality. I worked the back of a rear loader for about a couple years. Did anywhere from 300-400 cans a day, manually. Some guys do 600. Slipped 2 discs in my lower back before I turned 30. Please be careful with your tipping method. The only real actual safe way to do that is either when the can is damn near empty or with a hydraulic arm ($$$). People wonder why our unions are so ferocious and it's because we literally break our backs and in some cases die doing this job. Doing exactly the type of stuff you're doing.
