Also put up magnetic signs on both side doors of my work truck.

It actually does happen in the heavy equipment business, trucking, automobiles, and probably boats.

I have a hybrid and she drives a truck.

Third, we had a grading guy come to pour some gravel along the edges (an additional $3K), and his truck busted the corner of the concrete, breaking about a 1'x1' piece off.

@Bruce LynnVery great ideas to create more income but currently I am a truck driver working 14-16 hours a day 6 days a week driving from Chicago to neighboring states so the little free time I do have I use for research and some rest.

The more material you buy the better your discount gets.When your contractor gets a discount, they don't pass the savings on to you, they mark it up, and rightly so because they had to take the time to go pick it out and load it up, and we expect to get paid for our time.So ya, if you have the time and a truck (and sometimes trailer) to do it yourself, do it, or get it delivered for like $75.

I saw this for the first time in  my old life here at a 4 plex in Phoenix that I am working on.I talked to the men, brothers, both driving $50,000 trucks,  They  put the four meters on in about 2-3 hours and I asked them their rate and they said it was between $400-$600 a meter.Hopefully this helps a bit!

As @Steve Rozenberg wisely pointed out, there are many roads to Rome, but if there’s anyone else out there discouraged while negotiating truck pricing on your flooring for your 20 unit, take heart in the fact that you are not alone!

Monster homes, are a also very controversial issue here - essentially illegal mid-sized multifamily new construction often flagrantly violating zoning and building codes.

@Jeffery Callis Tesla is building the Cyber Truck in Austin so they are outting money where mouths are actually.
