Western Star Update Saves You Time and Time is Money.
Western Star Update [started in '83] costs less per month than a laborer making minimum wage for a day.
Let's say that you have a project with 20,000 cubic yards of excess. You had $7.00 in the Load, Haul and Waste Item. $1.00 Load, $3.00 Haul and $3.00 Waste.
If another person takes it for free; you just saved $60,000........If someone hauls the material away; $120,000 in your favor........and......some contractors will even; Load, Haul and make the material disappear! That's $140,000 "swing" using the above numbers.
I personally, in 1989, added $250,000 to the "PLUS SIDE" of a project [700,000 CY Import needed] that I was overseeing, by using my own Western Star. [I got a "real nice bonus" that year]
Western Star can do the samething if your project needs material. You bid to; Purchase Import, [F.O.B. or Haul yourself] so, if you can find cheaper or free material........What does that do for your project? "Big Bucks in Your Pocket"......That's what!.....and what if it's also delivered free........because, many times another contractor has to get rid of the material A.S.A.P.
After 20 years of wasting man-hours looking for Import/Export, landfills, waste-sites, places to get rid of asphalt-broken concrete........I finally woke up and realized the all contractors had this same problem. Well, I [Western Star Update] took the guess work out of the problem in 1985.
Western Star Update is still the "Best Kept Construction Secret" in Arizona.....I hope to change that with the help of this web-site.
I will never get rich doing this and I make a "heck of a lot less money" than when I was project managing.....but...This sure beats the hell out of telling some inspector that the sub-grade is ready to pave........while standing in 6 inches of mud, knowing that 200 tons of hot-mix is on the road.
