[QUOTE="Earthwerks Unlimited, post: 15482, member: 1300"] Perry is right. I and 30 other guys who (were) friends formed a team and drove over a thousand miles to Mississippi a month after the storm. So-called teams don't work--too much greed, in-fighting, politics, stealing of work, lieing, cheating, etc..---even amongst so-called friends. None of us are friends now. Go off on your own is the best bet. I did Katrina cleanup for 18 months straight. FEMA already has contracts with guys around the country. The best time to make money is the first days after a huge disaster. I was making a grand a day before FEMA stepped in then it was nothing---then I had to work for the the guys who got the FEMA contracts and that was just enough to go broke, which happened later last year. I'm still owed $10,000 and will never see it. In New Orleans I was making $2 per yard to load dumpsters. Only three dumpsters were available for me to fill per day so I grossed $240 that day, but spent $60 on fuel and $120 for a tire repair, so I netted $60, and had to sleep in my truck with one eye open to make sure no one stole my equipment. My suggestion is STAY HOME if you can---unless you can afford to lose everything and have thick skin and are super motivated! Oh and these disasters bring the most unsavoriest characters like fies fies on sh--t like crack heads, drug dealers, thieves, etc..
