inShoutout to the dispatcher in Tulsa who saved my move after my first carrier bailed
A "carrier" with no trucks is just a guy with a phone and some nerve.

Learned that same lesson on a rusty Tacoma, cheater pipe always wins.

inHit 500 railings done without one comeback, still weird to think about
Track by job, not piece, or you'll drive yourself nuts with the small stuff. I log each order number with a quick note on what it was and roughly how many hours it ate, so a five panel fence job counts once even if it had forty balusters in it. Around 300 jobs is when it hit me, mostly because I could flip back and see repeat customers, and that told me more than the raw count ever did.

inWarning: found out my '67 Chevelle only got 11 mpg from the factory window sticker
11 mpg city" is honestly the factory being optimistic. That number was probably recorded going downhill with a tailwind and a driver who weighed 90 pounds. My 454 Suburban gets maybe 9 on a good day, and by "good day" I mean one where I don't floor it to merge. The only real fix is to stop doing math at the pump, because nothing good comes from dividing dollars by miles. Just fill it up, don't look at the total, and tell yourself the smiles per gallon are worth it.
