I did it for 15yrs. got to be a fairly good sized company. 3 gravel trains on the road, 2 dozers , backhoe, loader,low boy, and 3 other dump trucks and company vehicles. When the work slowed down in Michigan, i had to get rid of people and equipment, no money to support those kind of bills. And it got harder and harder to make a dollar, beleive me I tried! It seemed that you were spending $4000.00 to make $5000.00. And then they would sit on it for 2 months, that ties up alot of operating capital. That and depending on your employees, they would be hungry in the early spring...as you load down with work, then in a couple months you are pulling your hair out trying to get them to come to work or they are laying down on you. My suggestion is to find a business that you and your wife can do. The more you depend on others the worst off it gets. DTURKE
