Hello, from Huntington, WV

[WVWelder]

My name is David Corns. I am just trying to get aquainted with some people in the manufacturing and repair business. I actually specialize more in the repair field but I also do some new fabrication work also. I am in the process of starting my own business, I plan to set up a truck with a welder and aircompressor, etc. I am looking for anyone with any suggestions, comments or experience in doing this. I am in the very early stages right now. I am maintaining a full time-job working for (the Man). Its slow going right now but every piece of advise I can acquire at this point could be useful.

Thank you for any help, you can offer.

My eyes and ears are open!!!!!!!

Hello and welcome. Good luck in your new venture.

hello and welcome. tough business to get into in wv. lots of competition. what were you going to specialize in? trucks, heavy equipment?

[WVWelder]

I hope to specialize in heavy equipment, but definately do not plan to limit myself to any one particular thing.
I have done some checking around and there doesn't seem to be alot of mobile welders in the Huntington, or Tri-State area that I know of. Maybe u have some different insight on this. If u do would u please share some information with me about who and what they do. I could possibly look into sub-contracting thru established companies to help get htis thing off the ground in the beginning.

Thanks for the reply

wvwelder, you might try around some of the gas drilling rigs, they seem to be drilling quite a lot in southern wv. ive seen some trucks around their sites that look like contract trucks.not sure about that but it would be worth a shot. if you do get into this i hope you dont mind mud. theres plenty of that. a couple names.....Yost drilling....Pettey drilling....Union drilling. dont know any numbers for them but there probably in the phone book.
