Crushr is an innovative franchise that specializes in mobile waste compaction, offering an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for businesses needing efficient waste management. 

The franchise was founded in 2016 by Scott Dennison, leveraging his extensive experience in the franchise industry to create a unique business model. Headquartered in Prospect, Kentucky, Crushr began its franchising journey in 2018 and has since expanded its footprint across the United States.

What sets Crushr apart is its patented mobile compaction truck, which significantly reduces the volume of waste, thereby lowering the frequency of dumpster hauls and associated costs for its customers.

Training 

Crushr provides a comprehensive training program designed to equip franchisees with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully operate their mobile waste compaction business. The training program includes a combination of online and classroom instruction, covering various aspects of the business.

  1. Initial Training: This part of the training focuses on the fundamentals of operating a Crushr franchise. It includes an overview of the company’s patented mobile compaction technology, operational procedures, equipment maintenance, and safety protocols. Franchisees learn how to effectively manage the day-to-day operations of their business, including waste compaction processes and customer service.
  2. On-the-Job Training: Franchisees receive hands-on experience with the mobile compaction truck, allowing them to become familiar with the equipment and the practical aspects of the business. This training ensures that franchisees are comfortable with operating the truck and handling real-world scenarios.
  3. Ongoing Support: Crushr provides continuous support to its franchisees, which includes access to marketing and branding strategies, compliance guidance, and operational assistance. Franchisees can also expect regular updates on best practices and new techniques to enhance their business operations.

Territory Protection

Crushr does not offer exclusive territory protection to its franchisees, which means that franchisees may face competition from other franchisees within the same brand.

While this might be a concern for some potential franchise owners, Crushr emphasizes the strength of its business model and the demand for its services, which can still support successful operations even in competitive markets.

Franchisees are encouraged to focus on building strong customer relationships and leveraging the company’s innovative technology to differentiate themselves locally. Despite the lack of territory protection, the franchise’s proven systems and ongoing support help franchisees thrive in their designated areas.
