October Driver Inspection Leaders

Congrats to the Top Driver/Inspectors in October!

NEW! Industrial Contract Template

We are happy to announce that we now have a templated Service Agreement that is ready to use for your permanent/industrial rentals! It is available for download on the Insider, under Resources.


Use this fillable PDF when you are setting up a new agreement with a permanent/long-term rental client, or for any industrial dumpster contracts.


If you have not pursued any industrial customers, here is a list of potential types of companies to contact about long-term rentals:


  • Auto/motorcycle repair shops
  • Large remodeling companies
  • Warehouses
  • Fabrication shops
  • Plumbing and hardware supply stores
  • Resale/thrift shops


Before you use this form: We strongly suggest that you have the Terms & Conditions (page 2) reviewed by local counsel to make sure they are sufficient for your location.

2024 Convention Registration is Open


Register for the

2024 BFG Annual Convention at the

Loews Royal Pacific Resort in

Universal Studios in sunny Orlando, FL,

from April 15-17, 2024!


The event begins on April 15 in the afternoon with the BFG Vendor Expo, which extends through that evening. General sessions, workshops, and networking activities will continue all day on the 16th and 17th, culminating in an Awards Gala on the evening of April 17. The website offers a general agenda; more details on brand-specific meetings and workshops will be available soon.


Each year, the annual convention is the cornerstone event for our brand. From learning the newest brand updates, getting industry tips and innovations, sharing best practices across franchisees, and reconnecting with fellow franchise owners, these three days will be packed with quality content and new ways to advance your business’ performance. 


This year’s conference in Orlando will include the COOL-BINZ, HOODZ, redbox+ Dumpsters, Safer Home Services, The Patch Boys, and Z PLUMBERZ franchise brands from BFG. Franchise owners can connect with potential referral sources across the group and work to drive new business to each other.


ALSO - COMING SOON!

Your redbox+ Dumpsters Advisory Council member will be sending a 2024 Convention Survey to your region. Franchisee feedback will be used to influence the redbox+ Dumpsters Convention Planning Committee to build an outstanding 2024 program.


Winter Survival Roundtable this Friday!

Winter Survival Roundtable

 

Wintertime in the northern United States can bring additional challenges for business owners. Between the increased maintenance requirements for equipment and lower demand for services, getting through wintertime can be difficult. 

 

You’ve told us before that you learn a lot by chatting with other franchisees to solve everyday problems, so we have set up a Roundtable to address these wintertime challenges, and found some new resources to support you as well. 

 

  1. On Friday, November 10, 2023 at 3 p.m. EST, redbox+ Dumpsters will host a “Wintertime Survival Roundtable” via Zoom. This roundtable will give franchisees the opportunity to collaborate and share wintertime best practices with other franchisees. The roundtable will be moderated by a member of the home office staff, but there will be no presentations from us. This is a great chance for franchisees to learn directly from other franchisees who are impacted by the effects of winter. To join the roundtable on November 10, go to this Zoom link.
  2. In addition to this year’s roundtable, we were able to obtain a document from Kenworth entitled “Tips for Preparing Your redbox+ Dumpsters Truck for Winter Use.” This document is full of useful information to help you keep your most expensive piece(s) of equipment running well throughout the winter months.  Download your copy of the document here
  3. Just this week, Fleet Maintenance magazine published an article entitled “Preparation Pays: Winterizing Best Practices.” The article contains tips for preparing all of the systems of your truck for wintertime. Read the article by clicking here.


As a reminder, you can access documents and videos on winter operations on the Insider (password is driverstraining). 

 

If your business could be impacted by the effects of winter weather, we strongly encourage you to attend and participate in the Wintertime Survival Roundtable on Friday, November 10. Come with your questions, your best practices, your own tips and tricks, and anything else you think will benefit your peers. 

 

We hope that you find this information useful. As always, if you have any questions regarding equipment needs, please contact Steve Jahner, VP of Equipping (sj@redboxplus.com)), or Shelby Beaver (sbeaver@redboxplus.com).

Military Driver CDL Programs

Shift Gears for a Rewarding Career


If you're looking to hire CDL drivers, but having no luck finding them, this program may help.


The Military Skills Test Waiver Program, offered through the FMSCA, allows drivers with two years' experience safely operating heavy military vehicles to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) without taking the driving test (skills test).


This program is available in every state. To date, more than 40,000 service members and veterans have taken advantage of this waiver program.


Military personnel can use the skills test waiver if they are currently licensed and are or were employed within the past year (12 months) in a military position requiring the operation of a military motor vehicle equivalent to a commercial motor vehicle.


Or, if you can verify that someone you want to hire was a military driver specifically, you might be able to have them participate in the Even Exchange Program. This program allows qualified military drivers to be exempt from the knowledge test for obtaining a commercial driver's license (CDL). When used with the Military Skills Test Waiver, this allows a driver to exchange a military license for a CDL.

Ride Height Tools - Bulk Purchase

ATTENTION: Owners of

Kenworth T370s with Airbag Suspension


We are in the process of bulk purchasing ride height tools from a manufacturer so you can check the ride height on your trucks without taking it into a shop and paying for it. 


Kenworth is producing instructions and a video to show how to check the ride height using this tool.


The price per tool is dependent on the quantity of tools ordered. 

  • QTY: 1 = $80.00 each
  • QTY: 5 = $71.00 each
  • QTY: 10 = $63.00 each
  • QTY: 15 = $57.00 each
  • QTY: 20 = $52.00 each
  • QTY: 60 = $31.00 each
  • QTY: 100 = $23.00 each

 

Please email hm@redboxplus.com if you would like to purchase, and let us know the number of tools you want. After we order the bulk quantity, it will take 3 weeks for delivery.


Maintenance Alert

Attention Kenworth T480 Owners and

select T370 Owners (from 4Q2022)

You can remove the pre-cleaner filter to your air filter

without voiding the warranty!


In fact, due to our direct requests and ongoing problems, Kenworth is no longer placing the pre-cleaner filter in their new T480s.


Kenworth does recommend, however, that you pay close attention to the intake filter box and clean it regularly.


On a related note, the spare pre-cleaner assemblies were mailed. If you have not received one yet, you should shortly. If you do not receive one, please let Steve Jahner know.

Equipment Updates

Attention: PACCAR FLEET PARTS PROGRAM

Remember when using the Paccar Fleet Parts Program

at your Kenworth dealer, you MUST provide your

Paccar account number and your DOT number.

Your DOT number is the PO number.


Thanks!

redbox+ Equipment Resales Between Franchisees

All equipment sales between Franchisees must include a Bill of Sale. The seller must provide the Bill of Sale to the redbox+ Dumpsters support line (support @redboxplus.com) to ensure equipment tracking and royalties are adjusted and tracked by corporate.
