    Here where I live in Nevada, Republic Services picks up our garbage. They do a good job and no complaints about that company. One guy on the truck and he doesn't have to get out of the truck on his route.

    I wrote a novel on google reviews on them. Ran out of space before I got finished with all my gripes. It was about 8 paragraphs long. :p

    My wife's cousin lives in Andalusia and said the hurricane didn't even bring rain there.
    I used some of my salty sailor language about her being full of BS.
    Is that possible that Andalusia had no effects from the hurricane?

    I'm not buying it. Northeastern quadrant went right over that area. Rainfall map shows 4-6 inches.

    I wouldnt haul trash. But... They make for solid investments.

    Waste Management (WM) in 2010 sold for 30.00 per share, its at like 113.00 today.

    Republic Services, same story.

    Good additions for diversification and stability. Decent dividiend payouts as well.

    How long is the job to bring down that 10k?

    Im looking at driving jobs where I should be grossing that in a month easy.

    Sometimes I do that where I am at right now With my starter job. Starter job worked out well enough with pay here I am almost 3 years later, haven't left yet. This month, looking like I might reach 10k gross.

    I am routed down to FL next week.
     
    Hazmat Cat Thanks this.

    I figure no more than two months. So $4,000 net for doing the cabinets and $10,000 net for running the job. Not a bad payday if I can get all the subs in and out in that amount of time.

    When I get more experience as a supe, I can handle more than one job. Could be a good job I can do even with a walker. :D

    Adjusted for inflation, that’s only $36, 2% over inflation.

    He was talking gross income, so I'm assuming a lease operator, maybe?
