No, Dave is Discovery channels B****. Freddy said Dave was only working for "wages" at the Dodge site. Why the hell would Dave leave a prosperous family owned aggregate company to live in a trailer in the Klondike as an hourly worker? Simple, he wants to be on TV and does what DC tells him to.

The value of each person's share will drop due to the royalty and so will their attitude. More drama..... oh boy!

When Todd said $500K my response would be: "Get the **** out of here,do not come back!"

Todd has been a stupid SOB since day one. Inherited trait from his Dad's side.
Such is TV programs.

I doubt Dave's dad has anything to do with it. DC probably wrote the family a check just to shoot that 5min segment and they were done.

I don't understand why they run service trucks without cranes, or I am missing them, so much more productive on repairs and maintenance, ?

Probably because not much on a 9 or 10 you can handle with a cherry picker. Screen plants I would agree but then again they have excavator right there.

I heard the two of them are going to be replacements on the WE networks "Tamar and Vince". Todd will be the fat guy, and Dave the broad

I agree Parker is a pretty arrogant but he is young and has a lot to learn about leadership. He still has plenty of time to grow up. As for operating equipment, how many 18-19y/o kids do you know that could walk in and make a living as an operator? Most kids I know of that age can barely remember to put pickles on a Cheeseburger.

I think the directors cut and paste to create the charectors they want you to see as well. When I met parker he really did seem like a decent guy. Seemed like every other contractor I've met at the auctions.
