    See if there is any used equipment in the warehouse. If not just shop around. If money is really tight i have good 16x24 tarps you can have cheap. Say 50% of new price. And old but still usable 8 ft drops...200 for them. That's about 25% of new price. I think i got a couple boxes of bungee cords i can let go also. But no chains, binders, or straps.

    Also, cause i just can't help but let the six year old boy in me say it: we tried to tell ya to get a flat when you started.


    Edit to add for guys that might considering leasing to mercer. Mercer does still finance equipment for new hires. They require 50 percent down. Not sure why they won't for this guy but i promise you, there is a valid reason to make the guys in charge think it's a high risk.
