AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: Small businesses owners not here, I work for the man!! Parents own a trucking and excatvating business. My siblings all work for them and will eventually take it over. Me, I went to college as I got tired of it. Hard to work for family, I was out there at 10 years old working in the garage, I could rebuild Cummins Diesel engines by age 12. Only thing I couldn't do was torque the main caps, too much for me back then! Could take rear ends out and transmissions. It wore me out and I decided to go to college and my parents supported the decision. That hard work and being hands on work helped me in a lot of ways and made me better in my current profession. In a way though I kinda miss not being part of it but I did help get it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
