Many people have a collection of stuff they no longer use and don’t know what to do with it. However, renting out these items can be a great way to have additional income and not let them go to waste. Riley Van Dyke has a few dump trailers and decided to start a small rental business to rent them out to people. When he needed online bookings and a CRM, he picked Booqable as his rental software of choice.

HurryHaulers

In early 2023, Riley found himself with an excess of dump trailers that weren’t being used all the time. Rather than have them take up space in his yard, he decided to start renting them out as dumpsters. He started HurryHaulers as a combination dumpster rental and junk removal service. Customers can either rent out a dumpster and do the clearance themselves or hire Riley for a full-service removal of all their junk.

This has proved to be successful, and he has had many customers, generally homeowners. Their requirements range from removing some clutter to doing a whole house renovation. Riley’s aim with this business was to streamline the process and help people in a hurry. While he is quick, he still provides excellent customer service without any hassle.

Getting organized

After the first 12 months of running HurryHaulers, Riley realized it was time to invest in software to help him accept online bookings, stay organized, and record customer details. A few tools provide these features tailored for trailer rental businesses, but he found they weren’t robust enough for his needs. He searched for more general-purpose rental software and came across Booqable, which met his needs.

With Booqable, he created a brand-new rental website with the built-in website builder. From the wide selection of available themes, he chose Utility, a template designed for trailer rental businesses. This has enabled him to accept online bookings for his dumpster rentals and junk removal service. He also loves the professional look and feel of the booking process with Booqable.

In addition, thanks to Booqable’s inventory and customer management systems, he has been able to organize his business more. These systems enable him to track his trailers and where they are going. This was very important for Riley as it enabled him to check the schedule and stay organized for upcoming dumpster deliveries and junk removal jobs.

Tripling the fleet

In the next five years, Riley hopes to triple the size of his fleet and have a crew of five people. This will enable him to serve many more customers daily, increasing revenue and helping more people. It’s a long road to get there, but he is confident that he will be able to continue to enjoy success and grow his rental business for many years to come.
