TransportAzumah = 6 years old today |

Posted by JAzumah on Thu Oct 9 14:55:35 2008 It's been a battle to get here, but my company has turned six years old. I just realized that as I was looking at this bid package to go in the mail (a bid that we have a very good shot of winning). Surprisingly, I'm still in one piece.Year 7 looks very bright for us, but only because we have put ourselves in a position to survive in such a poor economic environment. If you are thinking of entering the bus industry right now, DON'T. Not even the MTA guys are safe from layoffs and that is a scary thought. Guys are selling their buses and shutting down their companies left and right. Our politicians continue to lie to us about the seriousness of what is going on. Oh, and viva la 144. Anything worth doing is worth doing correctly. Remember that. As we often find out here on Buschat (and on BusTalk), everything is not always as it seems. Life is not about saving face. It is about being right, even when it is not popular. In the end, you are responsible for your actions and while it is hard to be right when everyone else is wrong, sometimes, you just have to do it. I am thankful to the many people (some nameless and faceless) who have been supportive throughout our six years. I am thankful for the advice given to me and the resources provided, especially you MTA guys that KNOW what is going on. You folks are a big part of why we are able to keep going because one cannot know everything everywhere. Please be assured that your support will be needed going forward (especially you kcram3500) and will be much appreciated. |
