Roll-Off Truck Breakdown! Fixing the Tarp & Grinding On

📌 What’s in This Video?
Josh from American AF Dumpsters takes viewers through a full day of dumpster rental business life — fixing a broken tarp system, explaining key maintenance tips, and gearing up for the Dumpster Expo 2025 in Dallas. Real problems, real solutions, and real small-business hustle.

🧰 Fixing the Busted Tarp on the International

Daniel completely destroys the tarp, so Josh walks through how to troubleshoot a tarp system, check hydraulics, and properly lubricate Pioneer tarp arms using J-Lube. These are must-know tips for dumpster rental operators and roll-off truck owners trying to avoid costly breakdowns.

🗣️ Why We Don’t Use a Forklift

Josh responds to comments about unloading trailers without a forklift — breaking down why it doesn’t make sense to spend $30K–$40K on a SkyTrak for occasional use, and why Cam Concept trailers should be lifted by D-rings instead of underneath to prevent frame damage.

🛻 Dumpster Runs, Repairs & Daily Grind

A quick trip to Waxahachie turns into chaos with a stray dog chase, small repairs, and prepping 10-yard dumpsters for sale ahead of the Dumpster Expo. It’s a look at the daily challenges and laughs of running a real dumpster business.

Josh unboxes the new Rapid Radios — unlimited-distance team walkie-talkies — and shows the Faraday bag demo while Alexis finalizes the long list of Dumpster Expo attendees.
