Well, after kicking around selling my equipment, I got a call at work today from a guy who wants 100 military trailers blasted. They are govt. trailers. I asked if they have the CARC on them and he said they do. My dad knows where the place is located and has been in the trailer business for the last 6 or 7 years. He's going to drive by to see what they look like. If they're just a few pieces of channel, I'm good, but if there is a bunch of crossmembers, that's a different story. The guy told me $225 a piece which is $22,500 over about 2-3 months.
My concerns:
1. I don't have a building to do this in, so I'd have to rent/lease a place.
2. I don't have equipment to unload his trucks.
3. I'd have to rent a big compressor. I have 2 blast setups (pots, helmets, etc.)
These are just the things I've thought of in the last couple minutes as he called me about 10 minutes ago and I got right on here to get some ideas. Ultimately, I need to see what they look like before I make a final decision, but this could be potetntial for a lot of money. He did mention I could do a couple just to see if I want to keep doing them. I'm to call him back tonight or tomorrow by lunch at the latest as he's going to start getting the trailers early next week. I'm pretty confident I can line up 2 guys to do the blasting and work something out with my Dad to manage the project. The CARC thing scares me.
