As of a hour ago I was told I would not be going over to BB.Only a selected few will go.I am sad for I will miss my freinds and my pump.Pumpco was a good company and so is BB I worked there before.I wish Everyone the Best.

What is happening in Atlanta?  What is the deal with the C&C pumps being "repossessed"?  Hear they are in Atlanta.  Is this thing a merger an aquisition or a fire sale?  I have a bunch of good friends that work there and I am concerned about em.  Someone call Jimmy and Les and have them post a "what the hell is going on" letter.  Its a scary scary world out there right now. 

Les in in Lybia. His VM says he is out of the country and not to leave a message.

Yep I heard he is starting up a company over there. That will be a big change for sure.

Just Pray that all that Iron gets sold over seas so that it does not drive the price of pumps down further here in the states. All the compinies will be down the tubes just like pumpco

deepest regards for pumpco and all their employees, What is the deal with C & C we have been seeing alot of there pumps in this area and with very bad stories of price gouging and the cheapest rates I have personally seen in many years I hope and pray they do not come and kill our market pricing, I know alot of guys with pumpco will be looking for work I hope BB will retain most, good luck my fellow brothers, we are looking for a couple of ops down here e-mail me if interesed

pudg,

same here,    they couldn't make it in there own backyard,  so they moved all over the panhandle,   always the same business logic,     we can do it cheaper than anyone.   I've literally been on a slab with the remote strapped on when I've seen the salesman pull up on jobs to talk to the super.

This may be a bit of an  over generalization,   but what a bunch of lying,   stealing,   sell your mother for a dollar,  don't pay your parts or fuel bill, etc. etc. etc. bunch of folks

Other than that I guess they are all right

O my!!! Wouldnt you think Ainsworth would have learned something from his excursion with importing korean pumps with a bogus customs permit or wait...he did actually go through customs didnt he!? Heh! I feel for all you out there in the conrete world, I gave it 23 yrs of my life and it gave me a wore out back and a real bad attitude. There is a thing, its called kharma and Mr Ainsworth has just got a crash course on what happens when you screw with Kharma.

OH Yeah kharma's a real hard ass when it comes to customs???  Sneak'n pumps into the country? (Yeah right!) Get a grip man! You cant even sneak a sixty meter around a scale house let alone from Korea!

I guess your location may have kept you out of the loop. BTW looks nice (your location). No Yellow booms there.

Yeah wrong motors it happened. He no lie Kemosabbie.

AH HAHAHA....thats why those 6 pumps sat in Riverdale Wreckers yard for 2 yrs eh...and if you cant get a 60M around a set of scales, dude, time to find a new job...your just wore out like a shelba!

Pumpco will always be a good company as far as I am concerned. They have treated me like no other ever has. There is never was they still are as far as I am concerned.

So it can't be done hey? It did in fact happen,yup,customs got them all.I can't remember but about 6-8 here in Denver,put a good friend out of business (he didn't know).I think they were hiding some either in Houston or Atlanta.
