Sorry got to disagree there. Think outside the box, push the envelope, set new trends, let er rip, but being dishonest. forget it. A man is judged in this world by doing what he says he going to do. My mentor taught me that rule 25 years ago. He said "even if it costs you money-do what you said you would do and you'll never go hungry". Guess what, he was right! I earned a pretty good living by following that advice.

Sorry friend, but just having the coverage is not going to keep you from being sued. There's no insurance that can keep that from happening and if you are engaging in acts such as you described you might want to go back and read the terms of your coverage.

BAHAAAAWAAAAAAA, now that's funny. You were kidding right? The old adage, young, dumb and full of..... well you should know the rest, is still alive and well. Oh sure there are exceptions to the rule but expierence wins out in the long run. I want people on my job sites that have "been there done that".

Yeah, then the rest of us have to untrain them. Sorry again friend. It's been my expierence that sub's without the coverage give a better price because they can't compete with quality so they have to under cut the sub's with the coverage to get the job. That was a lesson I learned the hard way. I should of listened to momma when she said "if you want cheap you're gonna get cheap". Besides if they are willing to cut that corner then what other corners are they willing to cut? Think about that for a minute. In the end they are not paying for the insurance-it's me the client that pays for it.
