Gas Prices

We need to start raising some hell like they did in Egypt. Our goverment does not care that people are hurting. The puss president does not have the cods to do anything about it.
No independant truckers left to shut the trucks down and let the produce spoil.
Sur charges are added to freight bills and we go on or merry way. It sucks!

So uprising against the gov't is to rid us off capitalism is your answer. Egypt was uprising against a dictator. We do not have one here. You must have some facist leanings. I don't want the gov't to care if I am hurting. It is not their job. It is my job to make myself better, not some liberal, idealistic gov't. I don't see anyone hurting because gas went up 20cents a gallon. People still drive everyday. Independant truckers never shut their trucks down, they needed to work and feed their families. Union truckers shut down in the 70's and caused spoiled produce and grief to the public. My father was an independant trucker and was pulled from his cab and beaten by union members for crossing a picket line to make a delivery. Gov't intervention is not the answer to all problems.

:kiss: I love you man. Maybe they will let us share a cell together to talk politics when the government shuts us down and turns our businesses into government jobs (they have to create jobs you know)

We used to get "off road" fuel, but drive all new vehicles so they all need ultra low sulpher.

And by the way, if you get your tank dipped and it comes up red, you will not only be super fined, but red tagged, which means you go no where till the tow truck comes and gets you, if they don't impound it till your court date. And oh yea, they can also seize your truck because it is used in the commision of a felony. Now thats something your "bussiness" consultant / coach will not tell you...huh

You can apply for a tax rebate for the fuel that is used in your burners or any thing that is not used on the roads. There also Federal programs that can help you re coup the cost of the taxes on off road fuel.

Look around....

I was referring to the machines, not the vehicle.

I have had trucks dipped a bunch, but never came up red. I was directly next to a truck when his came up red, and saw what they did to him.

I have heard lots of stories about guys skipping the tax and getting caught, especially dump trucks.

Not for me....trucks are 60k a piece plus the cost of the trailers, not worth it anymore too much too lose.

Plus I hooked up with an accountant bunch of years ago that knows the tax deal very well and has helped us to make money by simply not giving it to our uncle.

Im saying we need to voice our opinion in some way! We should not be so dependant on other countries. The trucks were shut down for a reason not to cause a hardship but to show that people could no longer afford to make a living. They had a voice. They used it. It worked.
Instead of jumping on me why not propose an answer to. Should we not have a voice and not always asorb and stand by. The Tea Party was a voice.
So while your sitting around the firehouse getting free grub,housing and a pay check and then promoting the fack that you have enough time to run a business on the side because. You are Off Duty! If you do not see employers cutting wages ,benefits and positions and graduating college students along with others trying to find employment,
You might want to get off your ass and look around or at least get your head out of the clouds.
 
William, Off Duty likes his head in the clouds, its nice up there

BELOW is the rates for Walgreens posted in another thread. With $3 & $4 gas price, you should be able to make $5, $7 an hour washing, crazy crap, just crazy

So who actually has the walgreens account. I have information I recieved from both Nest International and another from a Dallas TX company called SuperClean.

Take a gander at these prices from superclean


Powerwash sidewalks and Clean outside windows (90 day service) $43.00 per service

Windows Inside only & Mirrors (90 day service) $16.00 per service

Power Wash Drive-thru and Dumpster Pad (120 day service) $26.00 per service.


Have they completely lost their mind? There is no way I will ever touch a property for $43.00 unless they are aside each other and there is about 10 in a row we can clean weekly.
