Establishing the Trucking Business

difference um basically without get giving too much information I the company that bought our business was just a little bit smaller than us so they pretty much tried to double their business I don't think they even have our website up they're way too busy right now so okay just off of what you know what they already had and trying to now they're actually a name to be recognized in the market so they came from basically nothing and just by purchasing your website by purchasing your business converting it over to their name now you see their trucks running all over the Twin Cities that is a huge factor for you guys out there and you gals listening to this is just because you're in lawn maintenance doesn't mean you don't have other skills and when you have that downtime I'm assuming you did this and during your downtime maybe the winter was that we did the trucking because it uh for a lot of reasons one is we just wanted to get into more than one business we had it's uh we I had a partner in in my business so we had a lot of free time it wasn't my partner and me on the mowers uh we never you know one time a year maybe we were on the mowers but last last year last season I mowed for two days because we had to fire a guy and another guy quit and so I had to train two new guys on out ofo and other than that you know that's not what we were doing other than that you were Business Development yeah pure Business Development so you separated yourself from the technical end of the business you focused on the business end of the business which is what actually built your company we've talked about that in other videos and I want to make sure that you guys understand that that's what leads to success now Eric was able to sell his Lawn Care lawn maintenance business and get into Trucking yeah is that right so is that how you got started in the trucking is you actually built that Lawn Care business up you built up the website you established the business sold it and now you're doing something completely different yeah basically um what what ended up happening was when we bought this truck from from our other lawn care company 3 years ago we paid for it outright and then we worked so then we had two businesses going on and our lawn care business and our trucking business help pay for for the trailer that the back the far trailer so that trailer is paid off in full because of the lawn care business and everything and then continued to do that and then sold our lawn care…
