Three of our employees rolled our F-350 3 times this morning on an icy highway. No one hurt, driver got a ticket for excessive speed. I may dock him a day's pay for being dumb enough to say he was driving 65 rather than "Ya know, I'm not exactly sure." It's hard to do speed estimates on icy roads. :-)

The bad thing is that somehow I made a mistake with our insurance company and only had collision coverage. $8,000 down the drain.

I don't think you should give up on the truck, Tim. You're always looking for opportunities, with the right truck wrap on that pitch roof truck, you could be the next Texas Shingle King. Still be a nice crew truck too, with one new rule. Shortie gets backseat shotgun.

WTF ??? :angry:

While sometimes it's not much fun doing all the work by yourself, it's great to not have these type problems anymore. Sorry that happened to you!

When I had a bunch of employees, they never took care of anything worth a crap. Just abused it all. I bought a nice van one time, put a nice ladder rack on it and built tool/material bins inside. It was a very nice setup. Within a few months they had it trashed. I said to myself never again.

Kind of ironic, you being a flat roof guy and now having the rare pickup with a pitched roof.

The important thing is that no one was injured.
