    Plugging Tires

    The company really wanted to foam fill the tires but it would of been WAY too heavy and therefor uneconomical. We use them for dirt work and use them in clay/mud all the time so yeah, wasnt very smart.

    Plugging Tires

    Mobile credit card processing?

    The only thing is to convince the people that it is safe and secure. The ones im looking into have 128bit encryption which is the same on any site processing credit cards.

    Where to find a used truck

    The got junk guys are OKAY but are only good to a point. Some people like to have the freedom to clean at their pace. Why are big roofers buying roll-offs? To pick up their roofing materials or starting a trash business?

    Where to find a used truck

    The cool thing is, the market im doing this in has no small roll-off companies. Has plenty of large ones(20,30,40yd) so thats why im really excited about doing this. Im hoping to be the first to get a franchise from a canadian company doing the same thing.

I know dozer rentals are expensive but well worth it. But this only works if you know how to operate a...

    Over the tire rubber tracks

    Over the tire tracks are such a hassle. I had them on an LS170 i was using. The paddles that keep them on the tires kept popping the tires off the rims and then taking the tracks on/off was a 45 minute project each time. The rubber pads are held on by two 1 and a half inch bolt which isnt sturdy...
