Your Technology Partner, Not Another Vendor

After nearly 20 years in waste management technology, I know what works, what doesn't, and most importantly - what's worth your time and money. I offer strategic guidance without the corporate consulting overhead.

How I Can Help

Strategic Technology Advisor (Retainer)

This is my preferred engagement model. On a monthly retainer, you get ongoing access to someone who's been there before. Regular check-ins, urgent vendor evaluations, sanity checks on proposals, and honest assessments of what technology can actually do for your operation. No PowerPoints, no jargon - just straight talk about what makes sense for your business. This keeps me connected to real operational challenges, which helps me build better solutions for the entire industry.

Ideal for:

Private haulers and family operations who want a trusted technology voice without the overhead. Companies tired of vendor sales pitches who need unbiased guidance. Perfect for those planning technology changes in the next 6-18 months.

Investment:

$8,000-$12,000 monthly retainer, based on company size and scope of guidance needed.

Fractional CTO/CIO (Exclusive)

Be the technology leader you need without the full-time executive cost. I'll join your leadership team on a part-time basis to guide technology strategy, evaluate vendors, manage implementations, and build your internal tech capabilities. Important: I only take on one fractional executive role at a time to ensure you get the attention and quality you deserve. This is a significant commitment for both of us.

Ideal for:

Mid-size haulers ready to modernize but not ready for a full-time technology executive. Companies going through acquisitions or major system changes that need dedicated technology leadership.

Investment:

$15,000-$25,000 monthly exclusive engagement, reflecting the dedicated leadership commitment.

Technology Refresh Partner

Changing systems is scary. I've done it dozens of times. I'll help you navigate the entire process - from figuring out what you actually need, to vendor selection, to making sure implementation doesn't become a nightmare. I know these vendors, I know their products, and I know what questions to ask.

Ideal for:

Any hauler facing a major technology decision - new routing system, customer portal, billing platform, or complete digital transformation.

Investment:

Project-based engagements typically $5,000-$20,000 depending on scope. Vendor evaluations start at $5,000, full technology audits range $7,500-$20,000.

What You Won't Get From Me

  • • 200-page strategy documents that sit on a shelf
  • • Recommendations for technology you don't need
  • • Junior consultants learning on your dime
  • • Pressure to buy specific vendors (I'm independent)
  • • Theoretical solutions that don't work in truck cabs

What You Will Get

  • • Someone who's been a CDL-holding driver, operations manager, AND software vendor
  • • Guidance grounded in reality, not theory - I've used these systems from the cab and the office
  • • Direct access to someone who's actually implemented these systems
  • • Honest assessments based on both operational and vendor-side experience
  • • Practical roadmaps you can actually execute
  • • Vendor relationships that can accelerate your projects
  • • The rare perspective of someone who's worked both sides of the industry

Let's Talk About Your Situation

While I'm building micro-SaaS solutions for our industry, I maintain a select number of advisory relationships to stay connected to real operational challenges. These engagements aren't just about helping you - they keep me grounded in the daily realities of waste management, ensuring everything I build actually solves real problems.

If you're a hauler who wants ongoing technology guidance from someone who actually understands this industry, let's have a conversation. The strategic advisor retainer model works particularly well - you get expertise when you need it, and I stay connected to what's really happening in the field. No sales pitch, no obligations - just two people talking about trucks and technology.
