Not a chance. My line of work won't see any improvement for another year or more. To give you an idea of how bad folks have gotten......... I checked on a job I bid 3+ months ago. I have been this contractor's only dirt guy for the last 3 1/2 years. The bid was to demo a large brick home and dig some stumps on some large pines. The fellow he's going with under bid me by over $7k. He's going to get the job, be working for below cost and have to dispose of the house debris illegally. I can't do that, it's not worth the risk.

They claim it is, I still know way too many people including myself on unemployment and looking for work.

How is the venison Claude? I need to get out hunting this year, if this lay-oof thing keeps up I'll have plenty of time for some hunting.

Cant Believe ThIs 4.0 235,000 And Runs Like Its Got 10,000 On It

 

No surprise there.

 

They all do, right before they go boom.

 

One company around here is bidding jobs very low, but just enough so they don't have to lay off their operators or drivers. I think they are breaking even with how they are doing the jobs, no profit for the company.

 

I can handle that, I just can't see going out here, working the equipment just as hard and having to work below cost. That doesn't make semse but folks are doing it just to stay busy. How can they afford to work and lose money?

 

Rick > Ask Josh > Those Darn Things Are Good For 1/2 Million Miles If Ya Change Oil In Them
THE OTHER ONE I`M DEALING ON IS JUST A BABY >ONLY 160,000

 

Yeah I don't understand how someone can work a job like that and lose money. If I am working on a job I am doing it to make money, not to lose money. There are a few smaller contractors around here that practice that, and their help, equipment, and work quality shows it.

 

I can't play ball like that.

 

WHAT YA MEAN YOU CANT WORK TO MAKE FRIENDS > NOT MONEY > WHERE IS YOUR PATRIOTISM?

 

Been there, done that.
