It'll be very professional. I'm looking at getting an 8yard isuzu garbage truck, so a truck driver's license won't be needed. I'm gonna visit my local junkyard and ask them how much it'll cost to dump 144yards/week. I found a formula that 300customers will be about 144 yards of trash. With the amount of money I'll need to borrow, it'll be expected to be a 10year loan at around 9% interest.Lemme know how it goes. I've givin it some serious thought.
I mean haul trash for cash. Smell like trash...look like trash...whistle at the hot chic's on my route and act like trash. Whurr does I signs up?
He wants to get a loan to buy a real garbage truck but he's fine with a trailer for his carpet cleaning business...Maybe by this time next year you can afford a VAN for your carpet cleaning business!
and one guy with a trailer hauling a carpet cleaning machine... Hello... Anyone there?There's a bunch of dudes with ancient pickup truck with hand made 8ft tall boxes added to their bed hauling trash.
You would be very surprised how many compliments I get with my setup from people just walking by and my current customers. Plus, it's an awesome billboardHe wants to get a loan to buy a real garbage truck but he's fine with a trailer for his carpet cleaning business...

I remember seeing that picture, hahagood lord Matt.
FOCUS!
junk hauling and carpet cleaning aint going to work together.
Hell, water damage and rug washing don't even work with being a one trucker.
and no, fresh corn dogs dont either.
My point was, I can't keep digging the hole of debt in the business that's paying for it any deeper than it is. I know you're thinking "well you're looking at digging a hole deep as hell with the garbage business". That is a totally different source of income, and if it won't deliver any profit after the expenses, it's not possible.Matt, so much wrong with that perspective.
Here's one with my previous truck mount and my previous truck that pulled it. It's not a fancy $2500 wrap, but the lettering is bold and easy to read, and I get great feedback from it.Where's a pic of this trailer? I wanna see what it looks like.
I have to make it work. I have 5 more years until I can invest in a box truck
Says the man who wears NFL souvenir rings.
I don't see my cc business getting any more income from just a box truck, whereas a line of 300+ customers from a different business has the potential to bring in an extra amount of income. It's no different than someone who owns a business investing in rental houses. I'll be using my same customer list to bring in the extra $$$$$$ with almost no major marketingWhat am I missing here....You have to wait 5 years to invest in a box truck for carpet cleaning, but somehow you can invest in a trash truck now? Why not take the trash truck "investment" and put it toward growing your carpet cleaning business or the truck for carpet cleaning?
That's the reason I'm bringing this upThe consensus message here Matt is that you are searching for a new revenue stream in an entirely unrelated field without focusing on improving your existing business
You already have all the necessary equipment and knowledge to expand your business
I don't know anything about the size of your operation, if you have an employee or not .
I have the cash to buy into any type of service business.
If I want to improve my bottom line , I would maximize the return on my existing capital first, not jump into more debt and start a new business
The possible exception may be if you have contracts lined up in advance
Is it possible that you don't want to continue in the carpet cleaning business And are searching for a different path?
