Hey guys, I’m a young gun currently in the HDM trade. I woke up this morning and my mind was racing about this idea.

Starting a buisness doing Beacon, flasher, hazard installs. I currently can install almost any type of light(S) onto working trucks. Same ones that are used on EMS, Fire, Police, and Highway construction. Light bars, directional signs, all types of Code 3 lights.

If I started to try and get into doing these jobs for contract mobile mechanics, tow truck contractors, farmers and their equipment etc. what do you guys think of this? Thanks a lot in advance.

    Best way to know is to test the market. Throw up a landing page or website and run some ads (think $100-200 to get a good idea of the demand). See how many calls you get and go from there.

    Or look at similar businesses that have the same idea. Give them a call and ask them questions like their rate of installation, availability, whatever else.

    This is a niche idea, so it may be good to call into commercial businesses and see if they could use a hand with this. Do good work and they’ll keep in touch.

    I don’t know anything about the HDM trade but this is how I’d tackle the idea.
