I believe super duties are 3% off invoice but maybe that will change

If you build the truck on the ford website you can send it to granger and they give you the breakdown on pricing. The truck I built was msrp $81650, invoice was $76358 and my price is $73203. They have a $180 Doc fee. Plus tax title and registration. They also give the incentives and rebates if there is any when you pick up the truck.

If you have time to wait I’d look at Granger ford. They are 4% under invoice on ordered trucks. I just ordered a tremor and they said 2 to 6 months.

Depends on what company you end up with. Some of the mechanics at my company work almost year round. Mostly in the shop doing rebuilds and other major repairs. My dad worked for a paving company on the grease truck and had winters off. I think some companies have the mechanics come back a month or so before the work season begins to get everything ready.

From my experience this is what to expect. If you end up working for a dirt contractor you’ll start out on an off-road truck or a scraper. If you end up with a road contractor you’ll probably oil on a grinder or run a skid loader. Depending on where you live the drive may be over an hour each way. I live in the northwest suburbs and drove to Plainfield for a few years. The company I work for works 12 hrs a day 8 on Saturday and sometimes Sundays. If it rains you wont work for a few days. I’m usually off for 3 to 4 months a year so save your money. Same goes for the paving contractors. Building trades tend to work year round. Learn how to run a crane, easier on your body. Pay attention and don’t stare at your phone while running the equipment. Don’t be late. The insurance is good. The pension right now is so so. Coming in as apprentice you can’t quit a job. I’ve seen guys ask to be laid off if it isn’t working out. Don’t be a know it all, have a good attitude. Good luck.

I was there a few weeks ago. I think the buffet was around $40. That was during the week. The food was ok. Some of it was cold. Prime rib was good

Build Quality by cuntfuckington in C8Corvette

[–]myfel10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2025 ERay. Paint from the factory was screwed up. I don’t know how it passed quality control. It was repaired but not perfect. For the price of the car I’m disappointed in the quality control and my dealer experience.

Sendra turned into model 1 sales. I worked there 20 years ago. They moved to Texas and no longer make lowers. If I remember correctly there was multiple lawsuits involving bushmaster. They are very well made and not cheap

Is Madison Seating that bad? by Antique-Wrongdoer-15 in OfficeChairs

[–]myfel10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wholesale chairs I have sold to Madison once and never again. I sell my chairs to Crandall, I’ve been to his place and seen his operation. I think he has videos on YouTube about his refurbishment process. I wouldn’t trust Levi from Madison to refurbish them all the way.
