Question

I could see you doing OK with the trailers provided you didn't have to brush them. All I know is that we have a monthly account that is similar size and breakdown to yours. We charge a lot more per piece, we don't touch the trucks with a brush, and depending on the season, we're (8 guys) out of there in 4-5 hours. Even at that rate I think we are doing them too cheap. I guess the important thing is that your making money provided you're doing what's required of you as an employer(insurance, unemployment, and all). Are you still making enough to pay yourself enough, and keep enough to pay for commercial property, upgrade your trucks and equipment long before your forced to, and etc? I guess what I'm trying to say discreetly is: Are you able to run a business at that rate or just create a job for yourself?
