I just checked with a co-worker who used to work in auto insurance claims on that very issue. That kind of issue would be covered under liability insurance, which everyone is required to carry in New York State. I have full liability, comp and collision on both trucks anyway so I’m covered as best I can be. I’m also pretty anal about tying down my loads and I usually add one more strap that I think I need and then another one after that. While I may be covered legally and financially, I really don’t want to ruin someone else’s day. I’m just not that guy.
As far as the ice fishing deal…I hate the cold (why do I live in upstate NY again?) and sitting outside in sub-zero weather to catch a tiny-ass fish is not my idea of a good time! Put me in front of the fireplace with my TV and the Xbox and I am one happy winter hermit.
And as for things cooling down since June, yes and no. The business is growing but since I haven't had time/need to go curb shopping as much, I haven't had very many "scores." It's been mostly calls for pickups and junk removal jobs. Just last night I did a quick job grabbing two dryers and a washer, but it was nothing that would set the world on fire and it's nothing we all haven't seen before. Made a good contact with an independent realtor who may need our services in the future so that's always a good deal. I'm still waiting on pics from the trailer job and I have personally been devoting a lot of time to the eWaste side of things. So the posts may have dried up a little bit but we are still VERY busy. Good problems to have.
