Im trying Maniac. So far so good. Only thing i hate is the paperwork end of it. DEP reports, Ifta Reports, Quarterly Tax stuff, Entering all the customers info in quickbooks, Mailing invoices etc. After being in the truck all day and coming home to paperwork blows. But i know in time, i can hire someone to take care of it for me lol. Sometime i miss the dump truck days were the paperwork was very little and the quarry paid once a week. But then again i didn't make the money i do now. Almost forgot. The damn phone. The office line forwards to my cell phone. Sometimes i get 10-15 calls a day. Even tho. the Avg is around 6-7. But hey im not bitching. happy it rings lol

Yes all Mack
Got the new one lettered up. I tell you what. If i couldn't drive a truck i think another good business would be truck lettering. My lettering guy has a brand new sprinter van 45,000 he paid. A vinyl cutter and a laptop with the software about 20,000. and he charges 80/hr and what ever the vinyl is. My truck was $940.00 to letter. He does good work. Best part i like he comes to you.

Well had 2 trucks out working last Saturday. Had my cousin drive the 10wheeler. Man 2 trucks can do some damage. We had a homeowners Association to do it. 235/house and we got them done in 11hrs. After Dumping fees and giving my cousin 300 cash for the day. I grossed around 2500 for the day. It was a good day. Gotta say it was the first time i let some one drive my truck. I was alittle nervous at first. But i relaxed alittle. Had to keep telling myself he is a good driver and can handle it. Which is the truth. But still alittle nervous when you put someone in a truck worth 70k and let them take it down the road.
This is my favorite After hour call outs $$$$

I was in Delaware and Maryland a few days ago. I saw two or three trucks like yours, Mackman. I thought about you when I saw them. One was a nice looking Pete. When I saw the cab, I knew it wasn't you. Of course, they also had a different name on the tank. lol.

Might have been McGovern ( McGovern Inc.- We SOLVE Waste Disposal Problems - Serving PA, NJ, DE, MD - Septic Service, Grease Trap Service ) He is like the Swift of septic trucks around here. Think he has like 68 on the road last time i talk to him. 68 septic trucks is MEGA fleet in the septic world lol
