Gift horse? I want to just punch it in the mouth.

But that's because I'm so frackin' tired.

I don't know whether to rant or rave. For six months we have barely kept the lights on. Business was so slow as client after client went out of business or took it overseas.

December, January we did 20% of our normal, February also.

This month, the trucks just keep backing up. We are so over booked, I cannot believe it.

Sadly the dry spell meant we lost many of our good people. And to make it even more fun, I have two of my six lines down for repairs just as the work started to come in.

I have never turned a customer away. But, I had to do it this week. We just cannot handle it.

I hope the surge continues as we will catch up. But every night is a long one. I don't know how many 16's I can pull before they bring the meat wagon in for me.


I sure hope other's are beginning to see some increases. Home Building, especialy, could use a boost. The trades are still hurting.
 
I've had a little bit of a pickup but nothing too much. Everyone still wants more for less and in half the time. :rolleyes:
 
I talked toa guy about three monthsago about a project He asked "how long wil it take to manufacture? I told him one day. Truck backed up today with the product.

No warning.

He wants it out in one day. So now along with the 16 hour days we are running, I get to work Sunday.

The blessings just keep coming.

I shouldn't complain. After six months of begging for work, we got some. I hope it continues.

We have hired 16 new people in one week. 8 more on the way once these get settled in. Sadly, Barry will take credit for it.:whistling:
