I was looking to add another pick up truck and trailor to my fleet. But why drop 50K on a new truck (not a 20yr old beater truck) to beat the hell out of it but thats what they are made for. I was thinking of skipping the new pick up and mabey get a stake body truck. One forum member rescently got one and am thinking this may be the route to go. considering that the hvac shop i get stuff from only does commerical and industrial jobs. They have many roof top units in their shop they gut and run in the shell of the unit to the yard. I have a feeling when prices drop back to 70/ton for steel and $1.40 for copper they may ask me to take them and i would like to be ready for anything.
I was also thinking that my 2 cousins haul stone from the quarry for their fathers trucking co so mabey i could get them to drop a 28ft dump over here on a friday and fill by sunday. (The yard i use is open sundays) probably do this once a month and pay their gas and $200 for their time but IDK. But when, not if, prices start to fall, This plan wouldnt work out so well. Its all adaptation in this game.
