Starting A Hauling Junk Business

By Carlos Cifuentes


There are many reasons why one would be interested in opening up a hauling junk business. Of course, we are all interested in making a lot of money. This is definitely a good place to start. Most people are under the impression that this is extremely hard work for low pay. Because people do not have a good idea about this type of business, we can take advantage of the situation and bring in hundreds of dollars in one load. This is the perfect opportunity to make a full-time income by working part-time hours. Of course, there are some things that we need to know before we can get started.

We are going to need the appropriate tools before we can open a hauling junk business. For instance, we are going to need a pickup truck and a trailer. A car trailer will also be beneficial at one point or another. We may consider renting a car trailer until business picks up.

The next thing that we need to worry about is how we are going to get our name out there. We can ask our neighbors if they are willing to give a recommendation on our behalf. This will be a great way to get started until we can afford to purchase some business cards.

Once a business is established, and money is not as much of an issue, the individual could print ads in local papers, pay for advertising in a phone book, buy ad space in local magazines, as well as on the radio. These forms of advertising reach hundreds, if not thousands of people a day, but there is one better way, and that would be the internet. The internet is quickly taking over most forms of advertising, and many of the methods available to advertise online are absolutely free and will be likely to reach more people than printed ads.

If you are living in the country, you are not going to have a very good opportunity when it comes to word-of-mouth advertisement. Therefore, you are going to want to put forth some extra effort into doing a good job so that you can earn plenty of money for that spot on the radio.

Sometimes a junk hauler will pay over two hundred dollars for a single broke down car, regardless of the condition of said vehicle. Offering money to those who have junk will surely entice them to want to get rid of it and to call for a removal. Though there is a lot of work involved, and often dirty work, an individual starting a hauling junk business can do very well for themselves if they have a plan, and utilize as many forms of advertising as possible.
