    thanx dino that means a lot man I want to get it going with in the next 2 years start slow and build my way up. I've always worked for someone else and I need a change, I've always wanted to be my own boss and start my own business. And I think this would be a good start as long as I'm smart about it

    Oh and, when/if you get a truck it helps to drive it around neighbourhoods etc to be seen. If you choose a simple plain name decal it in HUGE letters on the truck. Huge letters from a quick glance you may only see one or two and your brain will want to know the rest for some reason and you take a second look.

    Cash referrals are a win win situation too with any business. If you move someone and they spread word of mouth, you give them say 50 bucks cash for every job you do that they refereed you to. $50 bucks is nothing on a $1000 move considering you likely wouldn't have gotten it in the first place.

    hey funk,

    that's great advice I was planning on the cash referral. another thing I would wanna do is park the truck/or trailer with the big lettering on a street corner i know. it's off 2 main highways, very little crime. Many businesses I know have parked here with the owners permission and haven't had any problems
