Board grading

[dave]

I picked up like 14 pallets of shtuff to tear apart yesterday. I do the large socket, small socket colored kind of grading on mbo's and when I find something in the shtuff that looks better I put it in a different box. I do 3 grades of mid grade boards and one for browns. I wanted to see how to get the grade right so I took 3500lb or so to Mario myself and got my hands into it with the folks there. It was quick and I learned some good stuff. We live in a supply and demand world and we are all working for money; that said "expectations are indeed premeditated resentments". It is not hard to find a buyer; but remember he buys so he can make money too. When you find a good buyer like Mario that bends over backwards to make the transaction work personally I feel like that is half of the paycheck! I want this guy to make money so he will be there for the next load and I know they do go through the box and re-grade my work. I'm focused on making what I do better to help my buyer as that buyer is my customer just like I am his customer. We're just like a pair of good mules sharing the load of the wagon and life is good.
