I have to vent a little. I have a new girlfriend and have been staying with her a lot she live 50 minutes from me. My weekend with my daughter was messed up this week as she had a birthdY party to go to. I stayed with girlfriend and went into work this morning and get a call from a guy wanting some information. We are owned by a local tc company and everyone assumes we bury valuable treasure.
This guy calls asking me what it would take to get a load of that good lumber they throw away at the pull behind plant. He says I see what they throw away. I told him it was mostly scrap and what was culled at the plant that was good gets taken by employees. Then he asked about the saw dust we get from the cabinet shop 40 miles away. What will it take to get a load dropped off at his house. I say 150. He freaks out claiming we could give it to him since we are dumping it. I try to be nice and explain I can't tie a rolloff truck up with a special dumpster to give away shavings. Most times poultry houses buy them. But he could drop me off a trailer or a dump truck and I could load at a minimal cost. 5 to ten dollars per trailer load. He then says thats too much. I tried to explain that when it's loaded I'm tying up a worker and a loader or excavator, trying to get off the phone the guy says can you throw out some lumber for me. I said no too busy then asks about coming out to scavenge I said it wasn't allowed and the amount of trucks dumping at one time and a dozer on the working face and a 90000 pound compactor I couldn't. I hang up the phone 10 minutes later it's the crazy Pinterest lady wanting me to throw her out some good pallets. She asked what we did with them I said the ones that aren't get crushed. I'm on the hoe loading cover and see some truck drive in the lot and down into the working face almost getting hit by my 730 haul truck. More people wanting to take a few of our old rolloff off our hands for swimming pools.
