Understanding Job-Level Profitability
Revenue minus dump fees, fuel, and labor = your job profit. Most operators focus on revenue but never calculate actual per-job profit. A $500 job can be less profitable than a $300 job if the $500 job requires a 45-minute drive, heavy material, and a 3-man crew.
Material Type Affects Profit More Than Price
Construction debris (C&D) weighs 350 lbs/CY vs household items at 150 lbs/CY. A half-truckload of C&D generates dump fees 2.3× higher than household furniture at the same volume. Price accordingly.
