Not ashamed to say your stock just went up in my mind. I rent a lot of CAT equipment and I've never had a bad experience with one of you guys. Most have gone above and beyond at some point to get me what I need. (y)

Or rescue one of my morons when they can't figure out how to run something. lol

I have flip flopped all over the place in the last 23 years since I retired from the Navy and have enjoyed every minute.

I still do some residential "rehabs" if the money is right, and I drive a quint axle dump.

Stay safe out there! 💪
 
Now that I'm back in the States, I'm not actively recruiting anymore (unless one of my new customers is hiring). My new customers are plastics processing/manufacturing companies in Texas and Louisiana. We are the exclusive reps for aecinternet.com, offering a full line of plastics processing and auxiliary equipment.

I hope to build a base of reliable customers, and REALLY hope I can recruit candidates for them occasionally. If that happens, I'll continue servicing these customers when we move back to Mexico in a few years. Houston is only a 2:45 flight from San Jose del Cabo.

COVID and oil market crash have put the double-whammy on Houston this year :confused:

I'm on a furlough myself. My sales manager called me on the 1st and asked if I wanted to come back. Obvious answer was yes so should be going back on the 15th or 16th.

Interested in how the unemployment process has been like there in the UK?

There have been quite a lot of redundancies made by various companies, the Government is paying 80% of furloughed staff wages. My company is paying the extar 20% to me so I am still on 100% salary. They have been running the business with a skeleton staff as we were designated as a key supplier.

The scheme over here lasts until October, but from August the companies have to contribute more towards the 80%, this is when I expect to go back.

I suspect that there are going to be more redundancies in the next few months, but it shouldn't affect where I work

That is nice your company is helping out. I believe it is generally up to each individual state here as far as unemployment compensation goes but the federal government has provided additional funding for furloughed and laid off workers. Each state seems to be getting back to some sense of normalcy with others progressing quicker than others.
