NoProblem, I hear you, bro. Sales would be hard to swallow. I know how toolies view salesmen. It would be real hard to change that mindset. But, if push comes to shove. You gotta do what you gotta do. I don't think you'll be making $25,000 anytime soon. It sounds like you have a REAL SOLID...

RE: OK, You're Ignorant Wow Jack, What's with the personal attacks. You're hurting my feelings....:'( That was a rhetorical request...... Out of everything you read that's what you got out of it...???? I'm already a self proclaimed ninny. Again with these PRINCIPLES. I think you're in LOVE...

I could go on forever about this topic. But, what I'm really trying to do is just point out some issues for others contemplating the business who may not be thinking about, or are not aware of, them. There's more to this business than trying to figure out what everyone is making. Is it really...

NoProblem, Your line of thinking is so close to mine it's SCARY. Right down to the "Where else can you make $50,000 with NO college education." WOW. Scary. Car sales is maybe an option..???. Or just sales in general..?? I was asking YOU if you would be able to do the job for $25,000 a year or...

No Problem, A fellow TOOLIE. EXCELLENT. It's amazing how fast it VANISHED isn't it...??? I would have thought the gravy train was going to last forever.....NOPE. GONE. Who would have thought some "foreigner" was as smart as you and VERY capable of doing your job. (That's sarcasm for those of...

StayStrong, I bet the top of teacel's skull just hit the ceiling....Not to mention his smoke alarms are going off from the smoke coming out of his ears...... See what I'm saying. Dog eat dog. With NO regard for what's going to happen to him in time. I'll copy paste his text into a word file in...

I don't know what I'm going to do yet. That's why I'm here. I'm trying to make an intelligent informed decision. Am I going about it the wrong way, I don't know. But, I've got to do SOMETHING. Why would I spend $40,000 on a truck and start a business if it's doomed from the get go. I'm trying...

StayStrong, I would expect them to. This also plays into my decision making process. Thanks

Good Job louixo, See what a dopey idiot, not worthy of being in your business (me) helped bring to the forum. Some USEFUL info that hasn't been covered a hundred times already. I read on here all the time "you have to be a business man first then a driver second". It's almost a cliche. Well a...

Wrong thread apollo....If you move it to the other thread I'll answer that for you.

The business plan is just something to talk about. That's all. I have explained it in both posts now.

OK this whole "Business Plan" is intended to poke fun at an "infamous" member. I thought it would play to a larger audience, but it didn't. Most of you couldn't see through you're rage to see it. Some did though. I thought my reference to WWE Wrestling would have tipped most of you off but it...

I am funnin' in the other post.....but not this one. I thought my sarcasm or humor as you called it would play to a bigger market, but it didn't. Ooops. Looks like I made a couple enemies in the process. Oh well... On to the topic at hand. I am pushing a HUGE panic button. I've got mouths to...

Tom, Thanks for an excellent post chock full of info. Let me bounce this off you..... I believe the Big Three and other large manufacturing companies, in their neverending quest to squeeze their suppliers have seen "JIT" as a major cost they can do away with rather easily. I don't view JIT...

Thanks Teacel...So my assumptions aren't far off after all. I see backhauls mentioned everywhere, like it's no big deal. The concept is nuts and illustrates just how dog eat dog this business is. I ruffled Glen's feathers in the "My Business Plan...." thread. I have said I'm sorry. I give up...

Glen, Again, if I've offended you I'm sorry. Explain to me what I'm missing. I've never read on here or anywhere else for that matter what the basic principle is. You can hate me if you like, but I'm sure the other 1784 users and counting would like to read your answer. Jeff PS.... What...

louixo or anyone else, How long do you, as someone directly involved with it, see the current cycle lasting...???? I could have told you about four years ago my career was doomed. It was an awesome career choice for 50 years or so. Guess I picked a bad time to jump in. I see mentioned on...

Let me bounce something else off you guys and gals…….. Let me assure you I’m not trying to insult, make fun of , pick a fight with or belittle anyone. First a little history about me……Just humor me here….. Read the WHOLE post…. Then reply…..(If you want to)… I’m a Tool Designer (not an...

I guess sarcasm is a lost art after all….Oh well StayStrong- If I handed you the keys and you abandoned the truck and I report it to DAC-As an abandonment-How is that a fit of rage or corrupt on my part. It’s the TRUTH. Spin it however you want. If you stole things out of my truck it is most...

Does everyone see my point NOW........???? The plan works. Scary good....... I know someone just took notes.....x(
