["The" Al Bradham]

8-10

We always have people ready to go.

They will get paid a min. of 10 hours a day, if they work or not. Somedays they work 16 hours some days 4.

$40.00 per day for food to spend how ever they want to.

I pay all the other expenses

And what do you speculate you'll be pocketing from your filed trip if you dont mind me asking.

 

[Mikey P]

I take it that truck is a 6 or 8 cylinder?

Al, where will you get the fuel to power the gen sets :?:

Do you not see any problems getting into bad areas, such as flooded rivers, etc; :?:

Ooroo :roll:

Mike.
It is always hard to say. It has to do with what we land. We do not do homes when we travel, large buildings only. $20,000+ per day drying is about normal. It is always a roll of the dice BUT the more we do, the bigger we get, the more people know us, the more we work.

 

["The" Al Bradham]

Fuel is always a problem. We can use 500 gallons a day easy. We try to set-up fuel trucks 1st thing. Last time in Gulf Port we had to drive 150 miles one way to get fuel. We would pick up 300 gallons at a time. O yea, we had to pay with cash, all the credit card machines were down. These trips take deep pockets.

As far as flooded areas. WE never put ourselfs in the way of danger. Unless you call hanging off the side of a 8 story building, trying to board up windows, in the way of danger.
