"You'd go broke (faster)."

I don't know about that...

I started out in this business with nothing, and I still have most of it left!

Cooper,

Been just over a year ago now. Just started looking for another Pete but the economy has me a little hesitant. I should give it up but after 30 plus years it is all I really know.

I'm to ugly to be pimped out and can't carry a tune in a dump truck so I'm stuck in truckin'.

I may have just begun my new career.

I'm going to write country songs.

What say you Big Chief?

Wes, you've been doing what you do long enough to know that about every 20 years, the economy goes south for a while. How long it stays there is anyone's guess.

You mention a new P-bilt tractor, don't think I'd do that until things settle down. If they DO settle down.

If things become really shltty, take whatever you can get.

One of the things that puzzles me is that the news reports keep saying '...highest unemployment in 25 years...' I dunno...25 years ago the world didn't end.

Big Chief speaks alot of wisdom.

I to recall the days of Jimmy Carter and yet we still remain.

Chin up!

^ Those were bad days- very depressing for some but I believe the upcoming ones will be far worse, Chief. Hope I'm wrong.

Get out of debt (or as much as possible) and work hard at ANY job.

Stay busy & keep the cash flow moving.

Bloody,

I think that Coop is virtually sitting on your back porch ... ask him his "20" ...

BS, you could be right--there is no telling how far south things will go, and I may be an optimist or a fool, take choice.

I'm not qualified to expound on the economy, but I am pretty certain that if a business is viable to begin with, it should survive as long as it has been well-managed and is not carrying crushing debt load.

I hope.
