Give em hell Chubby! Grrrrrrrrr cat_butt_tatoo.bmp

I think the tangling carrot is a great way to motivate sign companies into doing good work. If you screw up on a job you will not be getting a chance to do it again. More so is a tangling check in front of a company........the best motivator of all!

If a customer asks for 50% I give it to them if they don't I wont send it to them.........I find that more and more are asking for a deposit, even the companies that install on a regular basis for me.....I think it is always a smart move to ask for it then your front end is covered! I agree with the last comment......do great work when installing and I will always pay promptly. The problem is it is hard to find those "great" sign companies! Always looking though!

We used to pay our sign install contractors around 20-30 days and they loved us for that but with the slow payment from our National customers we are close to 45 days now.........I personally try to get them paid as quickly as possible because I want to be able to count on them down the road.

Sara.......you can tweek my computer anytime! It looks like by your experience you will have no problem getting a position somewhere.........wish you could replace our bonehead IT guy! Good Luck!

I see you have a office in Florida, where is it located?

I am truly amazed that ImagePoint folded.........I just heard from a friend in CO that she has completed 10 projects for them and had not received a dime. Surprisingly yesterday 3 checks came in the mail.......they BOUNCED! They were huge........makes you wonder.

I have known Jon Messick for years and is a very talented bender. I had no idea that he was working at Images............Good Luck Jon!

I agree with Alaska Sign Guy..........poor site coordination for the truck set up! But it is Miami were most sign guys are butchers and think because they have a couple of years experience they are Leadmen/Journeymen! So wrong it's scary.............

Why was the crane in that position instead of over infront of the poles? I have learned over the 35 years that you always try and lift your load over the back of your truck not the front or sides if possible! I had a helper do the exact same thing years ago.......I told my boss that the guy should not be operating the crane but he said just set it up for him so all he has to do is load up and rotate (I was on a aerial truck installing the flex faces) This guy rotated into 100K power lines with me on the trailer.....damnest thing I had ever seen......bolts of electricity coming from the riggers under the asphalt! Everything went up......the tanks blew for the torches, the plastic 5 gallon gas tank melted on the bed of truck catching everything on fire. The airport thought a plane had gone down and sent their emergency trucks down the runway (we were very close to the runway)............I still remember this like it was yesterday. Lucky to be alive!
