    Yeah hell I’d try and do the same as any white male would. Doesn’t matter what gender or pigment. You gotta learn to do it on your own or in the long term you won’t make it anyway.

    Technically I could give my wife 1% more ownership and try to piggy back off that but neither of us are interested.

    yeah it irritates me too. i guess just because im a white male that grew up without two pennys to rub together and worked for every dime iv ever earned iv somehow had so much more of an advantage i get pushed to the back of the line on some state/federal road jobs. only thing i like about dbe's is hearing what a #### show the last road job was when i come back to some of my normal crews after they do a dbe job.

    half ### backwards #### if you ask me you want to promote equality by leveraging race/gender. that's our government for you. smh

    ok (rant off)...lol

    If you were a smart business person maybe that’s what you should do. Sounds like an opportunity you should take advantage of.

    I can’t speak for him: if you want to make it, you need to expect to work your ### off for years without anyone appreciating what you’re doing. Ain’t nothing in this world for free if you work for a living. If you feel you have an advantage don’t lose sight of the fact you still gotta work hard at it to be successful.
    No such thing as free lunch in my life.

    I didn't start this thread asking how to make it. I'm a grown ":' man asking for advice about an opportunity that may be available to me in this industry, apparently I came to the wrong place to get information. Either you can expound on the information i seek or keep your opinions to yourselves. I did not come here to start a conversation about how hard it was for anyone to make it because of what color or race they are, merely seeking information. This really has to stop, everywhere you go you have a bunch of so called professionals in there field that are really insecure people that will take a handout from anybody that will give it to them, but when someone else is just seeking information they have a completely thwarted opinion about the subject at hand.

    When I’m in the top of the list after almost 30 years at the same place. And someone comes along with a minority owned company and boots me off the federal job and I do plant transfers or residential deliveries..... I’m pissed

    Go somewhere anywhere and start at the bottom of the list....
