The Bucket Truck Guy

Are you an entrepreneur wanting to create a successful small business? One of the best ways to start your own business is to buy a bucket truck. With bucket trucks, you can perform all kinds of services. The money you make on your jobs will more than pay for the cost of the bucket truck and give you enough money to pad your pocket.

There are some businesses you can start like tree trimming, sign and light repair, photography, holiday lights and decorations, gutter cleaning, window washing, or painting. Almost all of these businesses provide pretty lucrative profits with similarly little overhead costs. Not only will you be able to start your business, you will have the competitive advantage of using a bucket truck.

Most businesses that work with bucket trucks charge an hourly rate for labor plus an hourly usage fee for the bucket truck. This is nice because it allows you to itemize the costs for your customer. From my experience the average hourly charge for tree trimming, sign and light repair, etc. with a bucket truck is approximately $250/ hour. If you can keep busy on a regular basis, you can see how the profits will roll in.

The biggest start up cost will be the bucket truck. You want to be sure to get the highest quality bucket trucks for the lowest possible price. Imagine buying the cheapest bucket truck you can find… Now imagine it collapsing on you. The dangers of using a bucket truck are very real. Thus, the quality should not be overlooked because of price. The best rated place to purchase a bucket truck is here. They sell reconditioned bucket trucks all over the world.

If you are just starting, you should think about renting a bucket truck until you have a solid foundation for your business. Renting provides higher costs, however. To rent a bucket truck, you must carry commercial insurance. Commercial Insurance is pricey if you are renting. Of course, you have to carry commercial insurance if you own it but, it is generally cheaper. Also, the daily cost of renting a bucket truck is higher than the daily cost of purchasing one. The main difference lies in your amount of business and the longer term commitment of buying a bucket truck.

Keep working hard and you will be a successful entrepreneur in a niche business.. Good luck.
