Описание: This episode features Joe Maxey Founder of MAXCO Dumpsters and the Dumpster Runners Network Tampa | The Grassroots Alternative to Waste Expo (March 13–15, 2026)

If you run a dumpster rental, junk removal, or home service business — this episode is for you.

🎯 Dumpster Runners Network
📍 Tampa, Florida
📅 March 13–15

Built by operators. For operators.

In this episode of Smokin’ Profits, Joe breaks down:

• How he went from car sales to building Maxco Dumpsters
• Why the first 3–5 years in business are survival years
• The realities of under-CDL dumpster operations
• Dumpster sizing, roofing loads & avoiding overweight disasters
• Branding, dumpster wraps & social media strategy
• Why collaboration beats competition in local markets
• Why Waste Expo doesn’t serve small haulers
• How Dumpster Runners Network became a grassroots industry movement

Dumpster Runners Network (March 13–15 in Tampa) isn’t a corporate trade show.

It’s a working-operator event.

You’ll find:
• Hook lift trucks
• Trailer systems
• Under CDL setups
• CRMs (Docket, ICAN’s, BinBoss & more)
• Insurance providers
• Financing companies
• Real vendors ready to quote
• Real operators ready to connect

This event is designed for:

1-truck operators

Trailer-based dumpster businesses

Growing junk removal companies

Service business owners ready to scale

Joe also shares:

• Why networking makes more money than any single tactic
• How social media actually works in dumpsters
• Why personal branding matters
• How AI will amplify serious operators
• Why grassroots industry relationships matter more than corporate expos

The biggest takeaway?

The foundations of business never change:
Answer your phone.
Do a good job.
Own your mistakes.
Build relationships.

But the details evolve — and if you don’t evolve with them, someone else will.

If you’re serious about growing your dumpster or service business in 2026, this is the room to be in.
