hatcity Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Were you on vacation, or is work THAT slow in FL?,SSSSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWMost of work since Aptil was due to the cold/freeze we had this winter. Also, talk of a busy 'cane season had folks doing heavy trimming. Running for Waste Management doing bulk pick-up. 45-50 hrs/wk. paid by hour. no dumping fee. Rate wasn't too bad.Other work? there is none. Some developments that cleared 100 acres were putting a house here and there.Can't really complain though, I know some that have shut down completely. Many went and bought a lot of iron when things were good. Stuck with a payment. Wouldn't mind picking up a piece of equipment, good prices, but what to do after. Let it sit?I know that if I needed something done, I can get a skid steer, backhoe, front end loader at a job tonite. IF there was a jobOnly bought what was needed. Still have a nice want list. Then go to the wish list.

hatcity Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Dunny, sorry to hear you had to let the 'liner go. Dump trucking is all but dead here. Too many from down south willing to work for peanuts. The only up side for you< I guess, is that having several trailers to work with, you have alittle bit of variety available.I'm seeing on Craiglist a bunch of O/O needed stuff. BUT, what kind of money is there? Do you have a wet line on the KW?I know a guy that went to Pennsylvania with his dump truck. Some kind of big project up there. Heard its working out just OK.He has family there so he is staying in the travel trailer. At least he isn't paying for hotels and meals.
