    They seem to always be hiring. They do health insurance. I used to browse while dumping there all the time.

    They actually do some of their database work while they're in there.

    If they were just browsing I'd shut that shit down. Pun intended.

    ok guys i know nobody cares but heres what i did yesterday and this morning.
    We used 3 cans of duplicolor truck bedliner (needs a fourth) you can buy them from any auto parts store, but o'rielys i believe is the cheapest at $9 and some change. I did half the sanding, all the masking, and all the spraying lol.

    yeah lol it wasnt hard. worst part was probably sore fingers from holding down the spray nozzle top. but I have a little spray gun attachment. its cheap too. about $10 per can. 4 cans needed. probably 3 for mine with its smaller bed. roll of painters tape some 120 grit sand paper. so about a total 50$ tops to bedline a truck. I got a quote from a local shop to have it done for $650!!!!:eek:

    The stuff they use is a little bit different. It's A LOT more durable. That and they are charging you $75/hr for labor too.
