    You read my mind dude. This is the post I've been trying to get through on the Classifieds forum for over a month now, with no avail. Didn't think to post it here though...



    Hey guys!

    Looking to reach out to my fellow scrappers in the area to challenge you all to an antique pistol dual, because I am the one who knocks...j/k


    But no, I'm looking to reach out to possibly throw some work your way. As with most of us, I have my ads thrown up everywhere I can toss them, and frequently get people in the farther reaches of the areas I'm advertising in contacting me to pick up a fridge that's 100 miles away or some such. So far I've simply, politely explained that the gas costs prohibit such drives for such small loads and they're always understanding thus far. But I'd like to be able to tell them that while I may not be able to do it, I know someone in their area who may. Call it good customer service.


    In return, I only ask for the same thing when those opportunities come up. If someone has something in my neck of the woods that's not feasible for you to pick up, throw it my way. If you need help for a larger job, keep me in mind.


    This does have the potential to back-fire, and I could end up with some of you poaching my clients or territory. So I will be somewhat discriminating in who I decide to enter into these arrangements with, as I would expect you to be.


    But if you're honest and non-douchebag, and see the potential value in what I propose, hit me up.


    And yes, I know I have almost no posts. That's because I generally just read, and posting on my phone is a real PITA.
    I'm in the Hunt County area. Occasionally I get some calls from out your way. I'll drop you a pm with my info and get yours.
