FREE tires, various sizes that could be used for erosion control, etc. We can deliver for the cost of fuel.

Posting this for anyone that has a need or wants to come get some tomatoes. We discovered last night at quitting time that someone had dropped 26 flats of packaged tomatoes on the parking barriers. We don’t know where they came from or anything about them, but likely they were something rejected at the DC, and whoever had them just chose to dump them here. I have a couple of pictures that I’ll post for anyone that wants some. They appear to be in good condition, but won’t be after today out in the sun, so the earlier you get them, the better, if interested. No need to come inside and ask; just come take what you will use or give to someone that could use them. If you drive on the East side of our building at 420 E Walker Rd, you will see the flats stacked on the rear parking barriers. Just so it’s clear, we have no idea where they originated nor the history of why we ended up with them here, so if you get some, wash them appropriately and use at your own risk. I hate to see these go to waste, which is why I’m posting.

If you’ve tried to call us this afternoon and weren’t able to get through, we had a bit of an electrical issue. Blair and Tim finally have it straightened out for the most part and the phones should be in working order again! Thanks for your patience. 🙃

Who wants a job interview for Christmas? Again, we won’t hire just anybody, but at this point if you’re not involved in waterboarding kittens, and you have a valid driver’s license you’ve got a chance!

We’re hoping to find someone that knows something (anything?) about semi trucks and heavy equipment, but if that’s asking too much we’ll go for someone who has great customer service, a good attitude, and the ability to learn. A sense of humor doesn’t hurt either, but we’re not hiring for looks or personality – this isn’t a pageant and there’s no prize for miss congeniality… although, if it helps get people in the door, we can vote on it once a month. We need inventory help which involves attention to detail and the ability to count higher than 10 without using your appendages. You’ll need to be able to do some computer work with a complicated system, you’ll need the ability to multitask, and you’ll need to be able to work on your own without constant supervision. You can leave your drama at home with your dog.

What you get other than a hard time here:
Pay commensurate with your abilities. We are willing to negotiate based on your experience, desire, and reliability.
A retirement plan.
Health insurance.
Paid vacation and sick time.
A sign on bonus.
Relocation assistance for you out of towners.
Some very entertaining co-workers and some not so entertaining co-workers.
Sometimes donuts. And birthday cake. Occasionally breakfast burritos. We’re food motivated.

Really, we need someone who actually wants to work. The guys in back have a running bet on how long the new hires are going to last and Dwayne’s raking in the big bucks by betting on “no show, first day”. Bobby has bills to pay, so we need someone who will last longer than a year. Bobby is still on the losing end of this one, help him out.

Apply in person! Call, fax, email, mail, or messenger pigeon your resume to us! We might want to talk to you so leave a phone number and actually set up your voicemail on your cell phone if you don’t answer unknown numbers.

If you see our parts guy Tim today, be sure to tell him Happy Birthday! We finally found a parts person to help him out - we think that’s a pretty good present. But we got him donuts, too because we’re cool that way. 😎
