Bad weekend for the company...

[DamnYankee]

I'm guessing they went somewhere locally and they're probably dismantled by now, or they went to Mexico. Either way, it was a gutsy move. These are pretty large trucks. They probably split up and rendezvoused somewhere.

yeah it is funny we just got in 3 new trucks man these things are nice, hell of a lot better then our bucket and crane truck we have now, it's okay though your company has insurance on all of them and also do over 70 million a year, don't think it will hurt ya'll that much

Yeah it bites...now they&#39;re saying the estimated loss is closer to &#036;200,000 per truck.

Funny...Virgil works for a sign company. And knows where I work.

If I see a boom truck at the track with nitrous I&#39;ll know who it was...

Hell, they&#39;re probably in Louisiana or Arkansas by now. If the news could get out to the tv stations, somebody had to see them driving somewhere at that hour of the morning. People are very observant of things like that so early in the AM. We all way to become rich or famous because we saw, video taped or reported a crime in action.

Thanks man...

Hey what valance is that on your truck Shakes? Is that the stock VHO valance?

[mean05]

you need to estimate better cause eveytime we go against you on a job you are at least 5grand higher, but however it works i have been on the email to my friends at other sign companies and i have the word out

[DamnYankee]

Yeah Chandler is known for being high. But we&#39;re usually higher because it seems like we&#39;re always in the middle of some bid package or conversion consisting of hundreds of locations. So the higher costs tend to keep us working in the areas we&#39;re set up for and where the money is at, rather than smaller stuff. That&#39;s my theory anyway.

There&#39;s a saying around here that "we don&#39;t need the practice"....they&#39;re in it for the big fish.

Yeah, I think I saw a TV commercial about the big company vs. the little jobber this weekend. The jobber guy was working out of his barn while the big company had engineers and a nice big setup. I think it was Mueller steel buildings.

yeah we have a few bigger accounts, but we also know that the small stuff is what helps to, but then again we aren&#39;t the biggest sign company in DFW and don&#39;t have a couple of building that make Home Depots look small, you know i think it was an inside thing over there, somone who works there knew about the security and knew where the trucks were and which ones to take, cause you guys have smaller trucks they could have taken also but they took the big ones
