💩 Why it's ugly

It is stairs, dents, water lines, and customers saying the old freezer is “not that heavy.” Nobody dreams of wrestling a washer through a split-level hallway. The work is physical, awkward, and deeply un-Instagrammable.

💰 Why it prints money

Retailers, landlords, remodelers, and property managers need appliances moved constantly. Jobs are local, ticket sizes are decent, and haul-away fees stack nicely with delivery fees. Competition often looks like a guy with a truck, which is good news if you answer the phone.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
