Do you guys think that the volume of material removed is the hardest to estimate? I usually have the labor and equipment very close, but I sometimes
mess up on debris quantity.I just did a very small house and thought i could fit it all into a 30 yd, but wound up with 2 40yds packed so tight, i couldn't believe it. I will only make a couple of $100's on the, but i'd rather lose on a small job.

This is a new member saying thanks for the info. I'm young (in age and amount of time in this industry) and will be doing some estimating along with marketing for my company. Learning from experienced professionals that are willing to share/teach information is one of the many reasons I was excited when I came across this forum. Thanks again and please share more soon.
