> If you cannot afford to be on the road, then maybe house-mousing is what you need to do. IRS allows $85 per day for food & lodging (lowest rate) so at $2600 per month, if you ain't making that (getting paid) you do need a new career!

AND YES , I TO WAS HIT HARD TO THE TUNE OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OWED TO ME BY ADELPHIA.AS TO YOUR IGNORANT STATEMENT ABOUT 2YRS IN BUSINESS AND YOU SHOULD HAVE MONEY....I HAVE 18YRS IN PAL, AND IF YOU ASK MOST INTELLIGENT FOLKS IN THIS BUSINESS THE PRICES HAVE BEEN FALLING SO THAT THOSE OF US WHO HAVE A LIFE AND TRY TO PLAY BY THE RULES (WITH ALL THE PROPER INSURANCES ETC.REQUIRED)HAVE HAD TO SHELL OUT LOTS OF MONEY ALL THE WHILE TAKING IN A LITTLE MONEY.EVIDENTLY YOU HAVE SOOOOOO... MUCH MONEY (AND PROBABLY NO FAMILY)THAT I MIGHT SUGGEST YOU GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS SO THOSE OF US LESS FORTUNATE CAN HAVE ONE MORE VACANCY IN THE FIELD!THINK ABOUT IT...A MECHANIC ,A PLUMBER , A DOCTOR , ETC .

TELEPHONE # OR IF YOU DO GET THROUGH ON A # OR EMAIL NO ONE TAKES THE TIME OR HAS THE CONSIDERATION TO REPLY.I DONT KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS, BUT WHEN A MAN OR WOMAN IS SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR A JOB .... HE OR SHE DOES NOT HAVE TIME OR MONEY TO WASTE ON THIS CRAP.FURTHERMORE ...WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH 30-45 DAYS OUT ON PAY? ALL CONTRACTORS(SUBS)ARE NOT PIECE-OF-CRAP ASSHOLES WHO LIVE IN THEIR BUCKET TRUCK OR HAVE NO HOME OR FAMILIES TO SUPPORT.IF YOU MIGHT THINK YOU ARE A PRIME, THEN CONSIDER ACTING LIKE ONE .HOLD BACK 2WKS PAY, TAKE 10% RETAINAGE TO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST, AND CONSIDER HAVING SOMEONE GET OFF THEIR ASS AND IN THE FIELD TO QC THE WORK .IF YOUVE GOT A HACK ON THE JOB THEY ARE EASY TO SPOT.BASICALLY, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND HOW YOU PAY FOR IT.THINK ABOUT IT ... FUEL,HOTEL,FOOD,ETC....FOR 30-45 DAYS PLACING COMPLETE TRUST IN YOUR HONESTY AND INTEGRITY AS A PRIME TO PAY US AFTER THIS LONG . ITS CRAZY . IT SHOULD NOT MATTER HOW FAR OUT A PRIME IS PAID BY THE MSO TO BE THE BASIS ON HOW , IF , OR WHEN YOU PAY A SUB. THATS WHY YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY OFF OF SUBS OR A FEW IN HOUSE WORKERS.IF YOU WANT TO BE A PRIME THEN ACT THE PART OR GET OUT OF THE PICTURE AND BE A LOWLY SUB AND MAKE SOMEONE ELSE A PAYCHECK.THIS IS JUST MY OPINION .CABLE HAS TO GET BETTER.
