That's easily avoided. Tell em once your turd is fixed you have three (3) days to pick it up or it gets pushed out to the curb with a For Sale sign on it. Sign right here on the dotted line lol.

That doesn't necessarily ring true. It's easy to get a guy to drop off a mower, you tell him it needs X, and he decides not to fix it. But then you think....."well, it only needs X, I can fix that, and sell it!" But other things come first, and then you realize you have 15 mowers sitting there, that only need X....austinmike, cdavis188, tramm01 and 7 others Thank this.

That storage thing doesent bother me as I have a 4 car garage and a huge yard barn ,and yes I did take a very nice Honda mower in on trade this summer that needed a new carb and turned a nice profit on it .
I'll start loading up on mowers that need work this fall and winter and blow them out in the spring and early summer ...I kinda cherry pick from now on because I don't like a lot of stuff sitting around and used mowers don't sell well this time of year as the big box stores are closing out their new mowers very low prices and most people that need a mower already have one .
Come spring when alot of mowers won't start because the carbs are plugged with stale gas ethanol gunk what I stocked up on in late summer , fall and winter will fly out the door. -
Arrived home this morning from Iowa city with the help of another life long otr friend from Adair Iowa.
My better half is happy about all this and I'm all ready to go with uber again.
After 37 years I have high hopes the trucking business is behind me .Shock Therapy, hotrod1653, Knucklehead and 11 others Thank this. -
I'm curious as to how your annual pay with your Uber + entrepreneurial activities will end up being versus your annual trucking pay.
I'm thinking you're going to be good.Dale thompson, tramm01 and Suspect Zero Thank this. -
I don't expect it to be a big payday but I am certain it will afford me a decent income that pays the bills with money left over for spending money .
Again I don't have a lot of debt ....this may be a good test for some of you considering this because omaha council bluffs because this is very small market compared to much larger metro areas ...omaha metro only just in the last few years went over a million people.austinmike, Shock Therapy, Dale thompson and 5 others Thank this. -
I really didn't quite get what you were saying at first but now I did and I think you hit the nail on the head. It's much like how I like being up early but I sure don't like getting up then.Shock Therapy, Dale thompson, tramm01 and 3 others Thank this.

You”ll do fine Brad. If I didn’t have such a gravy job with my private fleet I’d quit and do my side hustle full time. I fly drones on the weekends taking pics of real estate, car lots, etc. Could do a lot more if I wanted. Worked yesterday morning from 8am till noon and made $450.
austinmike, Shock Therapy, Dale thompson and 4 others Thank this. -
Exactly...this would never happen in my market and I wouldn't do it but a guy in Chicagoland posted his numbers right off the app and made 2300.00 over a weekend .austinmike, Shock Therapy, Dale thompson and 6 others Thank this.
