Good advice. We tried to do that with the TSM guys too, but it didn't help. We bought them breakfast, gave them water, pop & beer. We even helped tote boxes to the truck and into the house on the other end. One of the guys was okay, the swamper, but the driver was a complete waste of skin, and he claimed to be one of the principles in the company. If his claim was true, then it doesn't say much for the company's bosses. And he was the guy that tried to steal from us ... a nice oak chair. We caught the chair, but there was some other stuff that went missing that we didn't notice right way, which never turned up. I'm assuming "Tiny" bagged the stuff.
