Hi RICK
Not at all.
Our supplier knew about the wreck, and had the 2-elite machine in stock, we got a good deal on them,and everything else too, because we had to replace Everything, nothing was salvageable except water-hoses the Machines sell for around $5000,00 each.
total Equipment on this truck is $36000,00 we added a few things like 8000 watt generator,bigger tool chest, and steel back box on back of truck, instead of aluminum box FOR BETTER SECURITY,The other Truck was Insured for $32000,00 and should of been for 34000,00
You dont realize how much Investment you have, until you have to start over and buy-it all at once and replace-it,and as you need somthing you know you had you dont miss-it til you need it.We Did not Realize We had This Much Invested.also we carry alot of extras for back-up, we want to have 1 spare motor 1 extra pump,and we will have all that we will ever need in case of emergency, like late at night or on week-ends and holidays, we even held on to my old 1985 F-150 to pull everything just in case.
We are Not Bragging Or Gloating Here.
For 3YRS WE hAVE PUT EVERYTHING RIGHT BACK INTO THE BUSINESS,So we do-not have alot of money yet, we have gave everything up includeing vacations Ect. to have what we have and were proud everthing is now paid for except the truck, and we are now realizing a profit and this is what we have worked so hard for.and yes everything is Fully Insured, fire, theift, vandalisn.
Total cost Is.
TRUCK & Bed $21,900 Good deal through Inter-net
Equipment on Bed of Truck $36000.00
Trailer and Equipment around $6000.00
We did consider a lot of things when planning the set up. The type of jobs we do and places we go. We chose the elite machines because of their reliability and size. When put on the truck we can still get into parking garages, when we checked out some of the other machines it would have been too tall.
Sorry for the long post. If you have anymore questions just ask.
