Time is Money

Time is Money!  Any successful business person is well aware of this old adage and chances are these successful people manage their time well. In the last half of 2006, we found ourselves spending lots of time on the road; not just traveling back and forth between actual jobs and moving equipment but traveling to your location to talk to you in person about the work you had in mind.

Looking at your prospective job first hand is the only way to start your excavation project correctly.  In most cases, there is a sizable amount of money - your money - involved and it just makes good sense to do it the right way.

The downside for us was just the sheer amount of miles involved.  Texas and Oklahoma covers a lot of area!  By the time we drove from our home base in Paris, TX to Abilene or San Antonio or Canton or Mineral Wells, we were covering lots, and we mean LOTS of miles and that time would have been better utilized pushing dirt.

The obvious answer to the problem was to reduce the travel time drastically.  Texans found out a long time ago that a private plane was almost a necessity in this huge state.  We purchased a Cessna 182 for business use and it has been a great addition to our equipment line up.  With a cruising speed of 150mph and a range of just over 700 miles, it has drastically improved our productive effort.

An added bonus is that you, our prospective client, no longer have to wait as long for us to come take a look at your job. We can leave Paris in the morning and be halfway across Texas by Lunch, meet with you and them be home by Supper. That same trip might have taken us 2 days previously!

We also knew that viewing your prospective excavation project from the air would give us a better perspective of the job before us. This particular aspect has proved invaluable when it comes to doing the job right the first time!
