Super Rigs!!!!!!!!

I dont dislike him but the big rig does not make him a good contractor, I dont know what he knows and I am sure he may know more than me on some issues and I am cool with that, I am not the reclaim expert either so he may know that area but as far as the ability not to damage surfaces I can run circles around him from what I saw, I had pics of ALL the damage but felt it really was a moot point.

I guess I can not honestly say he did it since I didnt personally watch him but it was not there, then he was there and then there was damagae that was not there before so I guess he is guilty be deductive reasoning.

I mean come on, do you leave a large surface cleaner running unattended? There were about 4 to 5 large circles where someone had do just that in addition to gouged concrete where gum was attempted to be removed. I just do want to learn from someone like that nor would I want them passing themselves off as an expert here teaching others what they dont know. Maybe it was him maybe it was a guy with him, never the less, he is the one responsible, just like I would be.

Have a great day Al ! You are still ok with me buddy!

You killed you a big one yet?????

I called him this morning and asked him to stop in and say hi.....personally, I don't think he will and even if he did....Well you might as well get the popcorn ready.
I still think if you met him....he might grow on ya!

Your alright in my (phone)book as well, We might even be a little tighter if we talked on the phone every now and then.
If we ever met for lunch ....there is no telling....I might even take you Hunting!!!! Ever been Snipe Hunting!!!:grin-loving:

I have got me a couple bucks this year 8 pt 175lbs and 6 pt 200lbs. both on video.
 
I attempted to call him one time, Al. I dont remember what number I called, but it was either the one he has listed in his signature or the one that was on his trailer in the photo. The number was disconnected. I would not mind to talk to him... off the bbs.

Hey guys I figured I would stop by for a few minutes to chat! Thanks Al for everything, but the people on here aren't why I stopped posting!!! It is because I have been really busy, and my youngest son has been in and out of the hospital! As for Russ I don't actually get out and wash anything much anymore, Im just to busy with the office and management department! We have alot of other services with our large customers besides power washing! If anyone ever notices anything that isn't of good quality with my company I would they would let me know instead of talking about me behind my back!!!I know my guys mess up from time to time, and my sales team and I cant check every job every day with 6-10 trucks running all over creation but we try to see all our customers once a quarter, and talk to them several times a month to check up on our services to them.

I am in a little diffrent business than most contractors on here. Anyone can find something wrong with any job, no matter if I did it or Ron did it, or Al did it! So yes if you follow my guys around your going to find mistakes , but when you service over 300 retail sores once a month its not about quality like doing a residential driveway!!! Its about getting it done to what that customer expects, not what a power washing contractor would expect on his own personal driveway!!! I know im not the best out their but I try to be the best for what they are willing to pay for! Most large companies dont want perfection, they just want it to look good for their customers! As a matter of fact most screw ups they don't even notice like you or I would, but if they do we will gladly take care of it!!!

Its like this last big job we did, it was 1.8 million sq ft which was completed in 250 hrs! I was really nervus about the walk through because i found alot of things to be unacceptable, but instead of going back and spending another 100hrs touching the job up, I decided to let the customer tell me what they wanted touched up! Guess what, they were very pleased with what had already been done and signed off on the project!!! Not to say I couldn't have done a better job on it but they weren't expecting perfection, they were expecting it to look better than it had looked previousely (which it did)! This is one of the Biggest Companies in The World And their home office is in downtown Atl!!! So Everyone has their specialties and no one is the best at everything!!! I just try to be the best at making my customers happy with what they get for the money they spend!!!Thats why I stay with big chains, and don't get wrapped up in nitpicking single customers!!!


AL YOU STAY ON HER AND KEEP ALL THESE GUYS STRAIT!!!
 
Oh and yes I built a riding surface machine that operates at 24gpm @ 3000psi, and cleans up to 20,000sq ft per hour! Does anyone think I could sell them if I could Price them around $25k-$30k???

I think that there would be a market for that but probably a larger market for a machine that uses 8gpm to 12gpm which a lot of us would be interested in.

Any pics of the riding surface cleaner?

Good post Bradley. You make a lot of good points. I look at my own jobs sometimes and I know I probably could have done a little better of a job. Glad to see your keeping real busy. Good luck and much success in 2010. :clapping:
 
Not on here yet but I will have some up next week! I can build one for whatever gpms you want! But its just like a regular surface machine the less volume the slower you would have to go! It measures 56" wide! As for you Russ it could have been???
 
Thanks Larry! Yep almost every job iI have ever done when I finish I see something I could have done better!!!
 
Well Im off to X-Mas with my wonderful family! Merry Christmas to everyone! See ya later.

I thought it might have been, I saw another guy on another board claiming to have done it but I honestly didnt see how, you I could see getting it done but not him.
