Well first of all, stop posting so many threads and read the forum and learn how to search it.

No one is going to be able to tell you how to get customers and how to make money.

If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Re: How Can I Get Costumers ????


First....make sure you have all the neccessary licenses, insurance, bonding ..etc
Second...have your truck (or station wagon) lettered up real nice with all the lic, insur, bonding, etc written all over it. it's VERY important you have the lettering painted on...no magnetic signs.
Third...put your seatbelt on
Fourth...ram that station wagon into a house.

You'll have plenty of work!

If you use magnetic signs, they might not survive the crash.

Make sure you have all the proper licenses and bonding and such. Go to the department of transportation bids page for your state. Read the jobs and see if any of them are things your company can do. If so, bid on them.

If you are not properly licensed and bonded, you won't be able to bid on state projects and you'll have to network with friends and neighbors and find smaller, informal jobs.

First of all, if you have to ask where to get work you're in the wrong business.
Right now there are thousands of companies out there with the man-power but only a small portion with the jobs to keep them busy.

Every penny counts so when you do get work make sure you're suppliers are staying competitive at buymymaterials.com

i am pretty sure that this question has no direct answer..more over anybody will not let you know his potential customers source..Its better you research in your local area and try to advertise first on a small scale...
