Thanks guys, this is exactly what I need to know. I plan on "tipping" the store manager even though he never asked, gotta keep the cow happy if you want lots of milk.

I also like the reciept idea, something for everyone, great bargaining tool ! Funny you mentioned Kareem, I actually bowled a few games with his mother out on Long Island years ago, first woman I ever had to look up to. I'm 6"-5" she is about 6"-7" and if I remember right she beat my 201 with a 225.

Going to get a couple of magnetic signs for my van and make up some flyers to put inside the stop and give to truckers as a ice breaker. Should be a fun time, cant wait to get started.

One other thing I was thinking of, alot of you guys are freezing your tails off. How about getting a rental down here for a couple of months and fix some glass and have a good time to boot, I drove around with the a/c on all day. Dont mean to rub it in but cant even think about temps under 50 anymore.

How do you get away with a $50 receipt and $30 dollar payment come tax time? I would think that this would take more taxes out of your pocket in the end. Just curious.

Double books, like the truckers keeping two logbooks. One for the d.o.t. and one that's right. :wink:

billed $50, collected $30. That's $20 bad debt, right? :wink:

Didn't mean to rub it in, ok I'm full of s@#t, isn't a 30 degrees a beach day for you guys. You dont want to trade summers with me, it gets brutal down here. As for the reciepts yup two sets of books, for cash no books needed.

No kidding... today is windy light snow and 15 degrees, but tomorrow it's supposed to be mid 30's!!! :D It's been a long time since it's been above freezing. It's pretty sad when 35 degrees gets you excited. Not funny Florida man. :evil: You wait till june when it's 70 here every day and your sweaty butt is glued to the fake leather seats in your chip fixin batmobile. :wink:

CPR,

Just a business idea for you. :idea: Why don't you take a ride up to Daytona Speedway this weekend. Can't imagine how many RV you'd find that need WSR :shock: On top of that....everybody there always has extra cash to spend :wink:

It rained from 2 hours after we got to the track, after a 12 hour drive, until we left on Sunday around noon. Needless to say no money was made lol. It is a great idea though.

Hey Johhnyone, let me know if there was alot of trucks there where you setup, I see over 100 here any time I go there. Glassdoc, my batmobile burst into flames last september when I left it out in the sun all day. I have actually felt like I was fused to the seat on many occasions.

I like the rv idea, there are tons of them here in the winter time. Think it would be a good idea to checkout all the trucking companys around here too. Go to my website and checkout the picture of my van, think you will really like the window tint.
