there are only 3 guys here that do what I do counting me(that I see everyday anyway), I am in a unique situation and am very grateful, its posted here but the forum has grown so large you cant hardly find anything anymore so ill put it here again. I live in between two large cities (Jonesboro and Paragould ar) with several small cities all around these, I live in one of these brookland. 70000 plus people in Jonesboro, probably 45000 or so in Paragould just a guess and two major highways 141, 49, connect these two cities and 49 is businesses nonstop for over 20 miles.
this area I just described has been the opposite of the majority of the country for the last decade, while everyone else is downsizing we are growing, the rest of the country was laying off and we were hiring. we have a frito lay where I came from, post, nestle, nicpak, great dane, Thomas a betts, hytrol, two railroad car factorys, a glass factory,pepsi plant, Monroe, Riceland is the largest ricemill in the world, we even have a windmill factory here, and I am missing hundreds of small factories. one of the few places in the country where there are several good jobs, lots of scrappers to but I hardly ever see anyone in a dumpster and we have a few guys pushing shopping carts around but, its mainly people with industrial accounts, car guys come and go mainly because of tv I think
I have lost several cars from just not having the time to go get them, or from running out of money on the weekends
edit, ill add a little more geography to the above, we have a large rail network here, less than an hour from Memphis, 2 hours from little rock and less than 4 hours from st louis
