No this thread has nothing to do with police.
So, they are installing new waterlines in our little village of 5000 residents. Right now they are working on the two blocks I happen to own property on. Across from my house they are using the open area to stock the gravel fill they are using of backfill. I can see from my front picture window clearly their scam.
What they are doing is a dump truck which I am going to ball park in the 20 ton load range is backing in and dumping the load of gravel into a pile. The skid steer operator is then putting 6 scoops back onto the truck before it leaves. In my best estimate they are reloading 5 tons of gravel. My reasoning is one I have been a contractor for 30 years and have a pretty good judgement of quantity, two my skid steer will scoop .75 ton and their skid steer is substantially larger than mine.
They are delivering 5-6 truck loads a day, in my rough math 5 tons returned by 5 trucks a day 25 ton overcharge per day for gravel or roughly one extra load per day at 1k per load at 50/ton delivered.
Now the entire crew 6 guys, multiple drivers, owner and who knows who else is in this. How far have we fallen as a society that this many people have no morals and is robbing their customer blind in return robbing themselves because all of this is going back to taxpayer expense.
This has already been going on 10 days, I just positively concluded as to what they are doing. At first I thought they might be running it over to where they are back filling but they are using the small dump truck for that. The big trucks reloaded are driving away.
I guess it is time to do the right thing and contact the water department super and show him video. If you notice me not posting in a few days you will know why.....................
