{off thread topic GMTI}
Well, I did run across something interesting today, while driving back up from Huntsville. Stopped north of Indianapolis for breakfast, and in the lot was a tractor/trailor that had a load of tires on it.
Low/behold...the trailer was marked GreenMan, but the sign on it said some city in Minnesota... The tractor {marked a different company} was from Lansing, IL...So I was curious. I waited a few minutes, and the driver came out...I asked him if he knew anything of GreenMan, {which he didn't}, as that his company was just the contractor for delivery of the tires.
He said the bulk of his delivery/s etc, are mainly in that area, but then they get loaded on larger trailors and get shipped up to Romeoville, IL up for processing, and to his knowledge...mainly for energy plants..
Not much to report, but at least in my mind it was a good sign, that at least something was going on w/this company....first time w/a real life experience of it.. :)
So that's it for now, others I have e-mailed w/seem to have a concensus that this will turn profitable 2nd quarter of '99...and that's about it.
Time will tell, but as it looks now...I will not be able to do any calling Monday, but plan on doing some hopefully by at least Wednesday of this week.
Take care...
