[FLYERMAN]

Bad, Slow, Down... pick your adjective.

Years? This was he worst year ever for us, we could never shake that winter that consumed Spring.

Oh well, hopefully 2012 will be a good year! 8)

November will be up a tick this year, but we never get much of a thanksgiving "rush". This whole falls been kinda all over the place for us...

yeah why is that Chris, why does your neighbor to the north get loads of Rushes and you get nada.


are these rush jobs like the ones I see where they only want the traffic areas in the LDH done?

Slammed out of control. Both trucks doing 7 jobs each and squeezing in one or two
For the last 3 weeks. Looks like it will be like this till Christmas. Had a customers tree fall on my truck yesterday. No damage but took me 1/2 hr to cut the tree off. Customer wanted me to leave it alone till the tree guy got there. Sorry bout ur luck. I wasn't waiting for that. I would have lost 1500 in work

are these holiday related jobs Dave or because the weather is about to change (a bit)


or both?

I dunno, were always busy in November, and we do get some last minute squeeze ins, but its never our busiest time of the year. In fact I let JR go out by himself yesterday so I could go to FL early to see the grandparents

Holiday related. We have 4986 customers now and need a 3rd truck so when the shit hits the fan it's go time. We stay pretty steady with no advertising just word of mouth. I will start marketing hard in jan in preparation for a 3rd truck in march or so. I want to be slammed out of control so the new truck pays for itself from day 1. Down time scares the shit out of me. Can't stand to see a truck sitting!!
