Most people pushing price down is the smaller companies. Larger companies can't afford to drop prices. Coit use to be a 2 man truck now down to one.

wheelerman, the guy that started this did so as a barb to get everyone going. Most here understand its probably better to stay away from the franchises.

I bet if you asked 10 guys who owned a franchise in this business for 5 or more years that 7 out of 10 of them wished they never got into a franchise agreement.

Mr. Clean why do you say franchise is the only way to go? Thats like
saying Mexican food it the only way to go. A franchises has its advantage instant creditability, a proven way of doing business that works for the company, and so on. Franchises also have its draw backs such as territory, prices, and the fact that you will never really own it. You will always have someone telling you what you can and cant do. To me this is why owning you business trumps all, for you are truly 100% in control. As far as cost when I looked into it was some time ago but think you could start for as little as 35k down, and they would carry you on the rest. Considering I just spent about 60k on a truck mount and van, and then still have advertising cost. So would say franchise is cheaper unless they start like you say with a grocery store machine and hatch back. You sound very convinced that it is better, may be I don't see what you do, but would like to hear you reasons. Not the stupid reasons like using a grocery rental or franchises do better work, because I take more business away from franchises then smaller businesses.

No other way to have it. Like Rodney says, I get No Respect. He's so ugly that the other kids wear masks that look like him on Halloween.
