How many $$$ will you save?

On Friday I visited an operator with 15 boom trucks in California. He has about 17 fence posts that need concrete blockage removal every 3 months.... Since he only runs double wall pipe...he is going to save $20,000.00 per year on new pipe costs. No more giving away fence posts. Hey everyone...how many do you have in your yard? Give me an idea of how many fence posts you get every 3 months. USA only

Made four, 3 meter ones in 8 years, but got the concrete company to pay for them and the labor for the whole party.

I dont think I've seen 17 fence post pipes in 17 years? If some poor fella has 14 pumps that are producing this many "fence posts" every year, he is in dire need of some good operators or some even better mechanics, probably both? What's his number, California sounds great?

I don't think that very many folks are going to tell the world how many fence posts they have built. Most big fleet guys have a horror show from time to time, they pump most of the tough jobs. Seems like you could go to the yards of the larger companies and roust up some work. I like your business model; makes sense for everyone.

Bob I tend to lean to your opinion here...the larger outfits will always have a need due to their work volume. At 30-50 cents on the dollar it puts money back in their pockets every time. Heads you win, tails you win! Does anyone know of a pipe vendor willing to sell you a good condition double wall 3M for $100 (including as taxes and delivery)? Guaranteed to be the same pipe spec you currently buy, and from the same manufacturer? Well, I do. It's called guaranteed restoration of your fence posts. I'll update as the logistics of this service is worked out.

is the somewhat fuzzy picture of your machine?

Good luck with your bizz, it sounds like a winner ;~)

You're right. If you contact enough you will find plenty of business. I know of a company in this area that lost 700 feet of pipe on a line job that went bad. This service will sell to some of the Big Boys for sure.

What did they do with the 700 ft.? I'll get them cleaned out next month...Who, where, and when?
