  1. my new freedom

    Congrats Michael, with that kind of support you'll go far. I was a Maint. Inspector for a airline out of MSP and after 911 thay shut the doors in Dec. After 20yrs in avation I was ready to do something esle. Good luck
  2. WARNING....Has this happened to you too?

    To make it easier for her, you should have offered to sell her your business. Then buy it back in 6 months for a 1/4 of the price.
  3. For Sale

    Jeff, how many miles, 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton, and can you post a pic. I just put a order in for a 07 3/4 ton but would cancel it if I have to.
  4. CDL license..who has one??

    In MN. the regs for needing a CDL are "Class C a single unit vehicle 26,000 GVWR or less", "Class B over 26,000 GVWR" and "Class A vehicles towing more then 10,000 lbs GVWR with a gross combination weight rating ( truck plus trailer) over 26,000" Also you need a Medical card to drive ANY commercial vehicles
  5. The Gods must have gas !!

    Dude, thats some funny*hit. thanks fo making me laugh
  6. Sounds like alot of work with your setup when theres alot of liquid ice controls out there like Magic-O or Caliber M100 just to name a few that work better then a salt brine and at a lower temp.. Or how about just a tailgate spreader with road salt or other products like Clearlane by Cargill or Magic salt. Are you going out after the fact or are you pre-treating these surfaces first?
  7. Am I Wrong??

    He came in $18 higher then the other guy. Sounds like he was just upset that he lost that contract....Understandable but still no reason to call you and whine.
  8. Am I Wrong??

    No wrong doing on your part. Now just prove to them that they made the right choice by changing over to you.
  9. When and where do you vacation?

    Normally 4 trips a year, about every three months 7-8 day at a pop. Warm trips between Nov. and April and fishing and camping trips between May and Oct. But then there are those Ice fishing and snowmobiling trips in between. We'll be in So.Cal over Easter and Costa Rica 2nd week of May. Time to start making more money.
  10. Bookkeeping Service

    I agree with Celeste, we do our own but might be looking for someone to take over....Its just time consuming and a pain
  11. name change

    I like douse a house, Be creative with your logo and I think your onto something.
  12. Collecting after the job.

    Tru dat.... We have a large builder that now just ask'd for a net 45 and a 15% discount from all of their contractors. We got by with keeping the net 30 but had to give up 10%
  13. Deposits anyone????

    I think the deposit is there to protect the us from last minute cancellations, slow pays and no pays. If your a reputable business you should have no problem getting something down. When we work with builders or large company we go with a Net 30. Residential all require 25% down. It sucks when you show up the day of the job only to be told that they forgot to call you to cancel. Deposits make it less likely for that to happen.
  14. New Door Hanger Idea.. Good or Bad ?

    You could add a coupon to it for 10% off when mentioning this hanger.
  15. Collecting after the job.

    Residential day of services by check or CC. Commercial Net 30
