    Well I was already crazy before I started my company so that part never really bothered me much lol.....For me it comes and goes....Like you I worry about my employees, work that has not gotten done, family and all that...But sometimes I just lay down and say "screw it" and that is when I can sleep. Why can I sleep? Because at the end of the day there Easy my friend, I am proud of what I have accomplished, no matter how difficult things are at the moment. So I am sure you are the same way. So sometimes you just have to tell the insomnia to kiss your back door and sleep like a rock.

    Great summary easy, I stopped being an employee in 1994 and could not imagine ever going there again. I have found you do tend to work more when you are at the wheel,yet it does not have the abuse so many "jobs" have. 3 am is prime problem solving territory, keep a pad and pencil handy!! Buying can be very scary, had a call yesterday from a large hauler wanting to sell 4k of material (GULP!!)...here we go. Keep on scrappin'

    the big deals are easy...you can flip them FAST if you need to...when you buy small loads it will take alot of time and labor before you have a load ready to go....during the waiting time is when you lose money...

    If someone went to sell me 4k worth of items all ready clean and ready to go...I would just have it pass into my door and send it out a day later with what ever else I have ready to go if I feel that prices may drop.

    I hope it is ready to go, I have a feeling it is going to be a mess, you are right about small loads though, tangled,unsorted,mish-mash and they want the best they can get!!!
