    And that line could be a free Google voice number that you can have ring to your phone. Sure you can set up the open time stuff through Google.

    That's what my business line was. And it'll be nice and easy to disconnect that line... Actually need to do that tonight.

    Just set it up via any of the computer apps (I.E Lync, Skype, etc...) and you can have the call auto-forwarded to your cell. After hours it rings to your answering machine on the computer and you don't see it. Any carrier can set that up. You can set it up yourself as well.

    Yeah I'm sure there's a bunch of options, I've only had experience with Google voice and know it's all free.

    Has anyone ordered from jet.com before?

    I've seen it advertised all over but was wondering if it's legit and how's the shipping speed. :anonymous:

    I ordered from Jet, it seemed as good as Amazon, but the more you order the cheaper it is.

    Only used it once because they give you a discount your first time. It was fine.

    What hasn't been modified?
    With good work, better prices and the fact that ya used to work for a center and have built a good word of mouth I'd say go for it. When I was at advance auto in Florida we had a guy that did exactly that. He was good and just gave out his phone # and maybe make a biz card for them to hand out

    Word of mouth is great, I get 98% of my business from that alone. Leaving your card with vendors is another good way to get business.
    Be careful of passing out cards at your current work or calling customers of your current employer, due to non-solicitation/non-compete laws.
    They can call you, that's perfectly legal. You are required to wait a few months before you can actively call existing customers of your former employer. New customers are up for grabs.

    Does anyone have any experience with these Federal Couragia MT's (https://www.amazon.com/Federal-Couragia-Mud-Terrain-Radial-Tire/dp/B013T771CK) I'm sure they're not the greatest, but I'm in kind of a pickle with tires (REALLY don't want to buy brand new ones right before I move) and I could pick up 5 of these for what seems like a pretty solid deal off CL. Just wondering if anyone's run them, or knows anyone who's run them, or really has heard anything about them

    Never ran them but Les Schwab sells them. I'd call and price check before buying used. They are extremely inexpensive.

    Word of mouth gets them in the door, it's up to the person to maintain their reputation though.

    If you want to try something cheaper, maybe treadwright. I ran them before and they were pretty good.
