The Haulers' Edge

Junk Removal Pricing & Profit Calculator

The Haulers' Edge Junk Removal Pricing & Profit Calculator is a ChatGPT plugin for junk removal, dumpster rental and demolition business owners (not homeowners). It prices the job on your numbers and shows you what you keep.

What it does

Quote the job. Know your cost. Keep your margin.

Prices a junk load from photos

Send 3 angles, the access path and something for scale (a door, fridge, trash bin or person). It estimates cubic yards and how heavy the load is. If it isn't confident, it asks for more photos. No photos? Tell it how much of the truck it'll fill.

Runs on your numbers

30-second setup: HQ, truck and MPG, capacity, full-truck and minimum price, dump fee per ton and minimum tip, crew size and hourly rate, fuel price, travel fee rule. It hands back one PROFILE line you paste at the start of any chat to skip setup.

Your real cost on every job

Fuel, drive labor, on-site labor, dump trips and disposal, truck wear and tear, demo consumables.

A price range with your margin at both ends

Factors in carry distance, stairs, travel beyond your free radius and heavy loads. Warns you if your low-end margin drops under 40%.

Time, crew and loads

Total hours, crew size and number of loads, adjusted for crew size, carry distance, stairs, drive time and dump runs.

Dumpster rentals

Tell it the project and it recommends a container size, estimates tonnage and prices it with your included days and tons, extra days, travel and item surcharges. Likely overage always shows as its own line. Flags heavy debris, weight limits, prohibited items and street-placement permits. Runs off a one-time DUMPSTER line with your sizes, prices and fees.

Demo jobs

Hot tubs, sheds, decks, playsets and interior demo. Asks the job-specific questions (anchored? utilities connected? footings? materials?) and prints a Demo Plan: method, crew and time, tools, PPE and hazards, debris volume and disposal notes, what’s included and excluded, and change-order triggers.

Local market check

Looks up local pricing and tells you if your quote is below, in line with or above market (when ChatGPT browsing is available).

Safety guardrails

Requires a licensed utility disconnect or client sign-off before demo, flags lead/asbestos risk on pre-1978 interiors, and refuses hazmat.

Tune it to your actuals

After a job, give it the final price, actual truck fraction and any surprises, and it tells you which inputs to adjust and what to add to your PROFILE line.

Ask it pricing questions too

Short, practical answers on margins, minimums, tracking and follow-up, the way Justin would answer.

Who built it

Built by an operator.

Justin Hubbard built it. He’s run his own hauling business for 12+ years.

Questions

What operators ask before they try it.

Do I need photos?

No. Photos give it the most to work with: 3 angles, the access path and something for scale. If it isn't confident, it asks for more. No photos? Tell it how much of the truck the load will fill.

Does it price dumpster rentals?

Yes. Tell it the project and it recommends a container size, estimates tonnage and prices it with your included days and tons, extra days, travel and item surcharges. Likely overage shows as its own line. It flags heavy debris, weight limits, prohibited items and street-placement permits. It runs off a one-time DUMPSTER line with your sizes, prices and fees.

Does it handle demo jobs?

Yes: hot tubs, sheds, decks, playsets and interior demo. It asks the job-specific questions and prints a Demo Plan with method, crew and time, tools, PPE and hazards, debris and disposal, what’s included and excluded, and change-order triggers. It requires a licensed utility disconnect or client sign-off before demo, and flags lead/asbestos risk on pre-1978 interiors.

Does it save my numbers?

No. Paste your PROFILE and DUMPSTER lines at the start of any chat to skip setup.

Does it know my local prices?

When ChatGPT browsing is available, it looks up local pricing and tells you if your quote is below, in line with or above market. The quote itself is built on your numbers.

What won’t it price?

Hazmat. It refuses hazmat jobs.

Do I need a customer’s address?

No. The town or area is enough.
