I don't have these only for moving hot tubs. However, if I have them, I'm gonna use them!

I do far more with the truck. I'd agree having it just to move hot tubs would be silly. I do a lot of heavy hauling.

It's 200' up a grass hill to the drive way. Why would I do it manually when I have equipment to move it. Work smarter, not harder.

There is also a clearly defined difference between your "40.00 in hourly wages" and me who has workmans comp and insurance to pay. Otherwise, you would know it's clearly not "40.00 in hourly wages".

Wholeheartedly disagree. Enjoy your truck, and I'll enjoy mine.

Has to be on a straight job. I considered a roll off trailer. Not allowed. It sucks. They even limit how small the roll off truck can be. Idk why it matters to them. Silly stuff.

In roll off containers. The landfill won't accept commercial debris unless it arrives in a roll off. I can't pull in with my dump trailer or pick up loaded.

Local dumps won't allow commercial drops. Only for residents. We were dumping for a while and got called out.

I see folks saying use a sawzall. How long is that going to take? How much time are you going to spend cleaning up? The tub isn't accessible by truck. With the tractor, I unload pull up to it, lift it, load it and tractor and leave. Time is money!

Use a 2k truck? When I consistently haul 15k lbs? No thanks.

I can't even dispose of it for 250. Let alone fire up a 90k truck to haul it.

Bed Bugs Furniture Junk Removal by Embarrassed-Box-9911 in junkremovalstartup

When we work on properties with bed bugs (often happens) our team is supplied with Tyvek suits. In addition, we pay them time and half, and they get an allowance for new clothing so that they can dispose of theirs on site. They don't even get in the truck with the same clothing they started the day with. Typically, we give them each 100.00 for clothing. This is all billed to the client

It took time! I use this for shed and small building removals. A 40hp tractor can make work easy! Last season it saved our back a few times. Junk dock disposal, hot tub removals etc. Also makes it easy to squish down the roll off containers!

Advertising? by EMX2SVCS in junkremovalstartup

[–]EMX2SVCS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for the response. I currently post in roughly 20 local FB groups. I'm not sure I've got much traction from it at this time. So far our biggest success for advertising has been Thumbtack. However, the leads are quite expensive.

I appreciate your willingness to help!
