    doing jobs like that gets you exposed to homes and neighborhoods not normally on your radar.

    if the homeowner getting the new furnace had other scrap metal out in the garage or workshop they could have easily tossed that on the back of your truck to sweeten the load.



    if the homeowner had a stash of obsolete pc's or other electronics and there was still room on your truck.......

    if the neighbors were peeking out the windows or over the fence and saw an opportunity to get some junk hauled away while there was a truck parked near by....

    back in the 80's a small garage cleanout got my name and number recommended to an "A list" couple needing some very expensive furniture moved.
    turns out the small garage cleanout was the personal secretary for the folks that gave us hagen daz ice cream and there were several more direct calls from this couple for smaller jobs once they got settled into their new home.

    point of all this is that you'll never know when a small job can turn into something better so every chance to get your name and number out there is worth it.
