Certified Tire Hauler
The question this page answers
“What are red flags to watch out for when hiring a local junk removal or site cleanup service on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace?”
What should I ask before I hire anyone?
Five questions cover most of the risk. Are you insured, and can I see the certificate? Are you licensed? Where does my material actually go? Is this price fixed or does it move on the day? And can I see recent reviews with names attached?
A company that answers all five in writing before the job is a company that will still be reachable if something goes wrong.
What insurance should they carry, and why does it matter to me?
General liability protects your property if something gets damaged carrying a couch down your stairs. Workers' compensation matters more than people realize — if an uninsured hauler is hurt on your property, that exposure can land on your homeowner's policy.
Servant King is licensed and insured, CSLB C-21 #1142322, and we will send the certificate before the job without being chased for it.
Ask us all five. We will answer them in writing before you commit to anything.
What actually goes wrong with a Marketplace hauler?
Three things, in order of frequency. The price changes once the truck is loaded. The load gets illegally dumped and, because the paperwork trail leads back to the property it came from, the citation can follow you. And there is nobody to call afterward.
The second one is the expensive one, and it is the reason to ask where material goes.
