0 RSuds 24 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 How busy are you? With a bad march it will now be the busiest May ever. I am going to buy another flatbed truck. Load it up with 2-10 gal. Machines and a 5. Also a 10gal. Utor chlorine pump and it will kick A. If you are 2 weeks out or more for the next 2 months then load up and get some work done. This could be the best may ever.

0 seymore 90 Report post Posted April 21, 2013 It's not even funny how busy I am with 3500 lft 2 sides of fence to stain next week. I just got a call for a 1K of fence to stain and tell he me has 6 K for me to stain soon! That's not including some homeowner fences to stain plus decks that are waiting. Note: fence companies are great to work for all new fences and long fences too! I need some good help to hire i'm not going to make it thru the summer!

0 RSuds 24 Report post Posted April 21, 2013 What I am saying is that if you are booked out more than a week and tell people I can not get to you for 3-4 weeks you are losing money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 James 624 Report post Posted April 22, 2013 Brain, or is it Brian ? I do to much wood but have been inundated with multiple washing projects and on top of that multiple wood customers want more done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 C&S Property Services 24 Report post Posted April 22, 2013 Brian, Great advice. This is the reason we have continued to expand every year with another truck, trailer and/ or more equipment. Most people we deal with on the residential side are amazed we can get them scheduled within, at most, a two week time frame. Our competitors cannot offer them that option therefore resulting in more clientale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Greg R 82 Report post Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Been a strange year already. We're booking into July almost already and people are still signing without an issue. Our March was crap though and April has been almost entirely rain so people "understand" I guess. Looking for another truck currently as well.
