    When you are affiliated with large truck orders they listen when you buy one new one and spend 40 k in parts and they treat you like shit and don't listen about problems and over charge on parts and services

    Yea Bob, but he's making pipe and a lot of other precast pieces and trying to get into parking garages. He owns places all over east coast. He was caught skimping on rebar by the state and had to pay a big fine well he discounted material to the state for TAX purpose . He hired a person after all that for a couple years, then laid him off due to lack of work and he tripled in business with the state along as you get on the Friday list lunch & drinks till 6-7 between 20-40 people every week hes on both sides of rt-68 .
