How can I do the pallet recycling business if I do not own a truck or trailer?
6 options to run the business without owning a truck:
- Rent on load day: Rent a flatbed for a few hours and run multiple loads in one session. Example: ≈ $2,460 net after rental and gas.
- Budget pickup: Use an older V8 F-150 (≈50 pallets per trip); more trips, low overhead.
- Borrow a trailer: Use an SUV to pull and pay a small fee or percentage.
- Partner up: Split training and vehicle costs while you establish routes.
- Broker loads: Coordinate supplier-to-buyer deals for semi-passive income, no truck needed.
- Spec pallet brokering: Broker standard-size orders for repeat revenue, no truck needed.
Are there other students in my area?
Likely yes—and that’s a good thing. Most cities have thousands of pallet opportunities. No one person can cover them all, and you won’t need to.
Collaborating with nearby students can accelerate early wins. Example: you secure 500 pallets in week one but lack a buyer—another student may connect you. It’s a win/win/win/win(you, the student, the supplier, and the buyer) without needing a permanent partnership.
What startup costs or equipment do I need?
Start lean with a phone, maps, and a basic vehicle. Many begin by brokering loads—no forklift, shop, or staff required. Add straps, gloves, and optional storage only as your routes grow.
Where do suppliers and buyers usually come from?
A massive list of Suppliers and Buyers are provided in the training. These list will cover the types of business we deal with in this business model.
Can plastic pallets be repaired like wood?
Generally no. Plastic pallets aren’t practical to repair; most buyers prefer wood pallets of varyying sizes and styles (e.g., 48×40, 36x36, 10ft, 12ft etc.) that you can source and sell faster.
Does The Simplest Biz include brokering large orders and marketing strategies?
Yes. You’ll learn to broker both new and used pallet orders—including large recurring contracts—and how to market so buyers come to you instead of cold chasing.
Is there community support after I enroll?
Yes—students get access to a private group with 100+ videos from John in addition to the training in the course itself, searchable files, success stories, and peer support.
What’s your refund policy?
Because this is a digital product, refunds are available within 24 hours of purchase. The reason for 24 hours is because once the training is provided and retained The Simplest Biz has no way of getting the information back. It's like us giving you a piece of cake and you eat it, at that point we have no recourse, thus the 24 hour return policy.
