    Gotta Love Logistics

    Yesterday I got a call for a couple of mowers and metal bars. Client gave me the address and it's in the same town as the guy I sell gas mowers to. So I text the mower guy and ask if we can meet up. Yep, what time? Great. When I looked up their addresses, the client lives on a court off the mower guy's street! I didn't even have them in the van for 5 minutes! I loaded them, drove for 2 1/2 minutes, unloaded them and got paid! Gotta love logistics!

    Thanks. And yeah it was pretty sweet except I only sold them as parts machines because the client's neighbour dropped a tree live on the mowers so they were a write-off!
