CABL Forum - Re: TO ALL PRIMES

By: feeder pig (none)

Who gives a rats ass what you're getting paid? I'm personally tired of the same b.s. generic ads from every company. Everybody says they have all the work in the world, the best prices, great boss, good running...you know the one. When you get to the job you get the same old crap, nothing is ready to splice. It takes 5 days to get 3 days worth of work and then you hear a bunch of bitching because the project is behind schedule. I guess shit runs downhill, but I'm tired of standing down in the dark valley. Just tell me how much I'm going to get paid up front, because you all have your heads stuck up your butts anyway. I might as well just go work for whichever a-hole is paying the best every week. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!

I would not expect any to post their prices for every one to see. But I will post what I get as a sub contractor to a larger Prime in California. and you all can tell me if I'm getting a fair deal. I already know I am.
Strand - .35 Single Lash .42 Double Lash .44 Overlash .55 Overlash Fiber .60 Storage Loops 60.00 each. I basically get paid for everything I do. It must be to code and Geo 95 specs, which half of you
would not even know. But the Kicker is, I get paid when I turn my invoice in. The same day!!! And no retention, that just goes to show how could I am.. And of course how much the Prime tusts my work. In the last
year I have been gigged only twice. One, downguy to tight and the other expanion bend was out of shape and that's only because a telco idiot hung his 50 lb. ditty bag on it. If any Primes can beat these prices email me
and give me yours!!!!!
