As I had previously mentioned, my husband and I are interested in starting a SMALL business in the DALLAS FORT WORTH area.  This is the piece of equipment we have in mind to start out.  Any pros or cons anyone would care to offer?

that is a trailer unit, kinda big that is for open commercial slabs. you will never be able to hang onto the line.

i run a unit that would be like a WP500

you need to do more homework like what does your regular pumper use that makes him a living.

Great pump we do large and small job all day with our two, but would need larger truck to pull around (Int 4700).Good Luck

I guess I was wrong DFW was not "Dept of Fish & Wildlife". I was right about the small family biz. So niffer222 PUMP-ON!  

I have a friend here in the Denver area and he now has 3 trailer pumps (not sponsors).He concetrated on the 3/8 mixes,2" line and targeted the ones that do stamped/specialty markets.

He has developed a good reputation for promptness and clean equipment.He also has a little system for cleanout on street (wash back into mixer) that is impecable.

One would believe there is still a market for the smaller pumps (trailer).Developing relationships not only with the customer but ready mix companies and yes even the managers of the larger pump companies.

In this economy I believe there is still a market out there for the little guy.Don't give your work away,charge accordingly,get your sur charges.

Don't let a salesman sell you a machine you don't need.I have known Fred at "usedconcretepumps.com" for 25+ years and always a helpfull person (link on left).

Good luck and keep us updated in the forum,always good to hear success stories.

My Best

Thanks for the good laugh.  I should have not assumed everyone knows what DFW means except to those in my area. 

And thanks again for the feedback from everyone.
