    Get yourself the proper solid waste permits and just advertise yourself. Google contractors in the area and fax them your advertisements. Then email them it. Then snail mail them it.

    Hey look every local sub shop/pizza joint fax's their daily specials to all businesses in their local area every morning. Put yourself out there. Make yourself a known name.

    Clean up in our area after the '99 tornadoes were contracted from those who had the proper permits through FEMA. You might need a Brooks and Dunn number in addition to your other information to do business with Uncle Sam. Conway Arkansas has a company that can over a period of time issue you a B&D number. Or you can pay about 900 or so to get one within a day.

    Brooks and Dunn? Country music artists have nothing to do with government business eligibility.

    Dunn and Bradstreet issues the D-U-N-S and you can do it yourself for free. There are options that cost up to $999 but would not apply to a small O/O operation. D&B has options to get this expedited in five days for $229, otherwise it takes about a month.

    Paying someone to do this is like paying others to get your operating authority, it is a waste of money and shows you don't really understand the most basic business requirements of the industry.

    Hard to make money with a 46 yard trailer when you get paid by volume. 59 yard would be better.
    I dont know what they are paying per yard but when Miami got hit last it was about $2 per yard pay. Judged by idiots who looked in your trailer each time to write how full you were. Not much money if you ask me when it could take more than an hour to fill a trailer.

    If you want a contractor out of Carolina that gets a lot of FEMA contracts I can give you one.
