Own your shit?! That’s how

How does this not have more views

Sorry new guy here, what’s a paddle wheel?

I really want to stop being like that. How did you do it?

That's not the mentality in just the trades, it's everywhere... But it's usually the ones who don't want to learn, and rest on their laurels, that will not help the next generation be better.

Best job in town until the next job. Ain't always something being built where you live

That's whether or not you need a surveyor and how good that dude needs to be

It doesn’t take but a couple of minutes to shoot baseline elevations, if the fill is delivered deficient… the prime can either negotiate up for additional labor and material, or eat my mobilization costs and spend the next 4 days finding someone else.

Wages in construction have been historically low because there is no barrier to entry! Anyone and everyone can take up the job! And most clients go for the lowest bidder! I just changed my profession

Inflation hurts everyone, employees, bosses, customers.

5 years lol thank you for correcting him hahaha

The dismantle of the pipeline from Alaska. The holt on new drilling contracts. The fact that when we buy oil from another country, from the time it leaves that country, its sold multiple times making the price go up everytime before it ever hits our shores. They we have to refine it and ship it out of the states we refine it in making the price go up again. Next time crude oil prices is under 50 dollars a barrel, buy stock and wait till a democrat or environmental wacko gets into office forcing the price of oil over 90 dollars a barrel and sell😊

What are you talking about? www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=emm_epm0_pte_nus_dpg&f=m

That what happens when you intentially shut a country down and print a shit ton of currency

like everything else in America it is force inflation in prices and companies not paying more to go with their increased profits its that simple. ITs runaway capitalism .

Then replace them with A.I. shortly after

It’s just the beginning of the end

Inflation happened and then corporations figured out people would pay those prices and kept raising them.

BS. spend a little time with a calculator with a % key. The gas thing is your illeracy of world history.. I only wish to be blunt.

In the movie I robot Will Smith paid I believe it was $50 for a Budweiser🤔🤯

Yes, the youth of today can master anything that requires them sitting on their ass. Did you forget that the “old guys” are the ones that invented the lasers and tech used today?

Inexperienced contractors tend to lowball their value because they want the job. I've done it before. It's neither good for the contractor or the client.

As a homeowner, I've learned you have to research these things yourself and get an idea of what parts cost, tools, materials cost, labor cost, and specialized knowledge needed for the job, etc. Then you can decide if it's something you want to attempt yourself or farm out. Personally I don't like waking up to the smell of shit so I would probably pay to have you guys bring your Poop Sloop out and help me, if I had a septic system anyway.

One of the best episodes so far brother! God first and get back to doing what u love

Super glad to see y’all back. Would y’all mind talking more on compaction with dirt and the common terms you use. As well as calculating how much dirt you need for a job vs compacted dirt or flex. This is something I’m kind of struggling with when doing bids.

Thank you. This was very informative. I’ve taken notes from your video and will implement some of these items in my future contracts. Keep up the great work!

Man I miss this podcast. Please bring it back.

The emphasis on leadership and decision-making in this podcast is spot-on. It's not just about digging dirt; it's about leading your team to success. Excellent discussion!

Great episode! Thank you guys!!

Yeah, no. Oral contracts are most definitely binding. Especially when certain requirements and conditions are met...

Why is this even a short?

"PromoSM"

Can I get clip cut of “kubota all around best skid steer” on my 2nd machine now and have had nothing but great work from kubota. As well as my dealer

Love the idea of the round table

They are Building Connected, AGTEK is a software for takeoffs and heavy JOB and heavy bid

What we’re those two bidding sites you mentioned in the beginning of the video

You guys are awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. This is very helpful for me.

Big timer!

Researching it to death is the biggest issue. Maybe talk about starting sub companies in order to start a bigger business later on. For instance I started a dump trailer business hauling material for residential people. built that into a mini skid steer and dump trailer business. its a good way to not grow too fast and get in over your head right away. also a way to develop a customer base that doesn't cost a ton of money. 2 jobs a months pays the overhead and everything after that is profit, I can do 4-5 deliveries on every Saturday between 8am-noon. I think you guys skip the first 2-3 steps when talking about starting a business.

but don't tell them keep that money too yourself ok that well hidden bread is not for them

the easier a machine is to service !! the more and better it is going to be serviced

We recently bought a battery operated grease gun, love it

Im sure there are times where thats a problem but something else generally would have to be wrong for that to cause oil dilution. Engine hours of any kind cause eventual wear. The air fuel mixture is way way lean in diesels when not under load if operating properly and that problem is largely prevented.....assuming you change your oil on a reasonable schedule accounting for a vastly larger run time per mile of driving

WOW ain't you special

Sounds like an engineering problem. Make an engine that doesnt do that.

This is B.S. Wouldn't be a problem if your changing the oil when it suppose to.

Reminds me of Pearl Harbor. Pennies raises, 0 promotions.

Unions get raises every year or you vote to put it in your pension fund atleast how mine works. And for blue-collar I make pretty damn good money. There's a catch though, you have to work it's physical work sometimes you're gone for 4 days a week maybe 5 and that's an issue for a lot more people than you would think😂

20% bullshit! 6% 8% is amazing 20% is in your dreams

I'm here now.
