that was me
You do the job too - so you nailed about what he might make if all went well.
I did not want to detail the costs because we have enough guys in this crap right now.

Whatever it is, I will do it for a dollar cheaper. It's this reverse "the price is right" bidding strategy that has helped me afford unlimited chicken quesadillas.tramm01, Feedman, exhausted379 and 11 others Thank this. -
You are right. That was an if all goes well number and it doesn’t account for having to have over a half mil in equipment to accomplish it. If all goes to crap he will have twice the days and half the money.

I believe this is the kind of post @Rontonio was talking about.
-
No - different guy.
Reason I’m bringing this up, is because I’ve been naive. Still am.
2004 I got here. I looked at a guy with a nice pickup, boat, new house. I’d think - “Must be doing well, good on him “
2008-2009 hit.
“Oh - that was all on credit.”
Same with this business/sector. I’d look at the big boys like @Rontonio , @ElmerFudpucker snd think -
“Boys got their ducks in a row! Smart fellas. Bet that kinda investment brings a big check!”
Then I start little with 5-6 axles doing it.
And I meet guys.
And I meet the competition.Space Truckin, Feedman, Albertaflatbed and 12 others Thank this. -
Last sentence - thanks for reminding me.
I’ll try to play this out in relative terms, but it’s difficult without spilling beans.Feedman, exhausted379, Old_n_gray and 8 others Thank this. -
my ducks are not in a rowSpace Truckin, Feedman, jamespmack and 12 others Thank this.
