Unlocking Extra Income with Your Dump Trailer

Hey there, fellow landscapers and entrepreneurs! Chip here from Main Street Mower. Today, we're diving into some innovative ways you can make extra cash with your dump trailer. Whether you're looking to justify the investment or maximize your existing equipment, this post is for you!

Why Invest in a Dump Trailer?

Purchasing a dump trailer can feel like a hefty investment. With prices ranging from $8,000 to $28,000 depending on size, it's no small decision. Many landscapers are already saving every penny to buy a zero-turn mower and a standard landscape trailer. So, how do you justify adding a dump trailer to your arsenal? Here are a few compelling reasons.

Time is Money

A dump trailer saves you enormous amounts of time. Imagine you're working on a sod removal job. Instead of loading sod onto a traditional landscape trailer, driving to the dump, and painstakingly unloading it with your crew, a dump trailer makes the process seamless. You load up, drive to the dump, and push a button to unload. It’s that simple! This not only saves time but also helps you redeploy your crew more efficiently.

Compliance and Convenience

Some dump sites require you to use tarps for transportation. While you can get tarps for regular landscape trailers, dump trailers come with built-in tarps, granting you access to more dump sites. This added convenience can be a game-changer for your business.

Monetizing Your Dump Trailer

Now, let's look at ways to turn your dump trailer into a money-making machine.

Rental Opportunities

Did you know you can rent out your dump trailer for around $300 a day? That's right! Landscapers, roofers, construction workers, and demolition teams often need a dump trailer. By renting it out, you can generate consistent revenue. Some landscapers are making enough money from rentals alone to cover their trailer payments!

Delivery Services

Another profitable venture is offering delivery services. For example, if you notice a customer's driveway needs millings, you can deliver a load and make a tidy profit. Charge a delivery fee and mark up the cost of materials. This simple service can easily be added to your existing jobs and significantly boost your income.

Landscape Enhancements

Own a dump trailer? You now have the capability to offer additional services to your clients. From spreading gravel around a fire pit area to delivering garden compost, the possibilities are endless. Rent a dingo, fill your trailer with gravel, and enhance your clients' properties with minimal effort. This added service can transform a simple job into a high-value project, increasing your overall revenue.

Practical Considerations

While dump trailers open up numerous opportunities, remember they are heavier and can be more burdensome on your truck compared to standard landscape trailers. Consider using the dump trailer primarily for specific tasks rather than your daily haul to extend the life of your truck.

By making smart business moves, like investing in a dump trailer, you can expand from a one-man crew to a multi-truck operation.

Not worth the money

Bought the medium size bag, holds two helmets and two chaps + gloves in front pocket. For the price bag is cheaply made , and for a 90.00 dollar bag you’d expect heavy duty zippers, which it does not have

Troy, thank you for your honest review. We have customers that like the duffel bags. I apologize that the duffel bag wasn't up to your standards. You can return your duffel bag (if in the original packaging), we can refund you.

No Flats

You won't get flats. You will have a little rougher ride. That's about it. I have seen replacements for Toro zero turn mowers that use a soft, solid rubber tire with rounded edges. This looks better to me. I cannot see the need for tread on a swiveling tire.

This is the answer

Why doesn’t Toro make their mowers with these tires from the beginning?! This is the answer. Super easy to install. Works great. No more frustrating wheels.

Great Service

My whole experience with Main Street Mower was great. The service was fast and because of that. I was not waiting forever to get back in action and, the prices were great.

Floyd Cretcher

Just received the Kombi powerhead late last week, so I haven't had an opportunity to play with it as of yet. However the unit seems to be consistent with Stihl's normal attention to quality. The aspect of 2 AP300 batteries and charger, included with the purchase,at a discounted price is an absolute game changer. Saved close to $300 on the total purchase,when compared to similarly priced items locally here in Indiana. Just had to wait a few days,as per delivery. Which is no big deal,seeing that it Snowed Tuesday afternoon. Thus should really help to get a head of the game this Spring!
