Hello fellow runners! I’m looking for commercial auto options for a Hooklift Truck. I Currently have Geico, but the rates are outrageous. I’m just getting started with 6 cans (15,20 yards). Have also been debating between 1 million coverage or less. I’m at 300k currently. Any insight is appreciated. I’m in Jacksonville, Florida. Thanks Geordane

It was an absolute honor to put together a great show for everyone. I’ve gotten a ton of fantastic feedback, and it seems like most had a great time! With that said… There is always room to improve, and I have a couple things in mind that I feel I could have done better. What do you guys think could be improved for next year? Should we do two days of main event show? Should we have one day for education and another day for strictly vendors and networking? Was the venue a good place to host or should we try to find more of a convention center style location? All feedback is good feedback so long as it’s trying to improve and not tear down. Don’t hold back. Let me know what you think we should do differently for next year.

Welcome to THE DUMPSTER RUNNERS NETWORK! Please introduce yourselves and tell us your company name and where you're from. We are going to be taking a deep dive into the world of dumpster. Talking about equipment, marketing, networking, community building, and so much more. We welcome everyone from rookie to master. From aspiring entrepreneur to seasoned veteran of their trade. I hope all of you can take a moment and introduce yourselves. Once that is out of the way we can dive into the wins or pain points each of us is going through. You never know who might be right down the road from you. They can become a GREAT back up resource if your equipment goes down or you're overloaded with work, and if not - maybe you just make a new friend to chat with who shares a similar interest! Make SURE you check out the MAP tab at the top. It will show you roughly where each member is located. It says that it it shows each person as 10 miles off roughly, but I have noticed some people much farther off then I believe they should be. We'll have to check that out and see how it performs over time. FANTASTIC feature for seeing who is close to you though. UTILIZE IT!

Firstly… Thank you for being here. You just making it to this page shows you have an interest in growing, learning, and collaborating in this industry. While there are a lot of us who like to work together and build each other up, there are plenty more that don’t, and hate the idea of people sharing information and “saturating the market.” In my experience “Collaboration WINS” and there are plenty of big mega corporations we can rally against to take a share of the pie for ourselves and help fellow small business owners succeed and provide a better life for themselves and their families. Now that we got that out of the way let me throw out some house keeping.

Question for the group! Customer books a 7-day rental. Fills it up early and needs another. How are you handling these?
