I’ve been refining an idea and realized it might be more than just an estimator. A simple, easy-to-use online estimator on my website—enter acreage and location, then tap through visual options (current property status, project size, terrain, desired finish) to match their land and get a quick price range, with the option to request a free in-person quote (maybe more options?). What I’m thinking about building is something that: • Gives a fast ballpark without a traditional form • Uses visual selections instead of long inputs • Keeps it low friction (no name required) • Captures location (town or address) But on the backend, it gives me data on: • Where demand is coming from • What type of jobs people are looking for • Which areas are “hot” vs “cold” So even if someone doesn’t request a quote, I still walk away with useful info to guide ads and targeting. I want more data… Basically turning an estimator into a lead intelligence tool. Curious if anyone else has tried something like this, or sees any blind spots I’m missing.

I’d like to start and say I am so thankful that there’s a community like this I can learn from I am my owner of a Truking company. I own one Truck and trying to be with my family more. I have owned.multiple businesses but got stuck into the Truking but I love equipment and did sells most of my life so I cannot wait to start I have a couple of questions if anybody can answer them I plan on buying all brand-new equipment from the videos that I have watched online and advice I should buy a brand new skid steer and mulcher. I do not know if I should buy the excavator with it, but I’ll wait till I hear back from y’all. I plan on hiring an advertising company paying minimum of $100 a day in advertising to hit the ground running. I was going to advertise for two weeks book up a couple of jobs and then go get the equipment. I take construction court, so if doing something wrong, please do address it. This is a big change for me and my family. I’ve been over the road for the last eight years and ready to get out of the truck and do some more productive.

Just left the Army after 10 years. I've been doing land clearing and mulching as a side gig whenever I took leave and on weekends. I've got two machines and working on doing this full time. Pretty good at operating equipment but clueless how to start and run a successful business. Here's the biggest project I've done about 2 years ago. A 10-acre job on a cattle ranch. Looking forward to learning and being a part of this awesome community.

1. Starter business with plans of a $60k revenue at 90. Maybe that’s under-cutting. I’m not sure.

Just getting rolling this spring... 0 0 0 for last 3 months. Looking at 25k per month. "I enjoy generating 25k per month from my business" Going to bid my first job this afternoon from a FB lead, 4.5 acres mulching for fire mitigation. Home owners insurance company wants it done.
