Thanks Warrior. I have been using my google fu for the last three days. I have found a lot of information. I have a appointment set up to meet with a business lawyer next week to review the non compete. Fingers crossed! I received another letter from my former boss today bragging about how he caused another former employee to go bankrupt for trying to start his own business. Reminding me yet again of the outcome I would face. I am not even going to touch a trap until I know I am free and clear! Whistling past the graveyard. Make sure you keep all those letters in a safe place. Good luck and keep us informed.

In a lot of cases your truck is your number one advertising agent. I seen a truck this year that had 100% of the truck covered with wildlife and his name of his business. I am going to kick my truck up this year. I just finished my yearly report and my numbers are down. When driving around just look at the service truck and what they are showing and telling you. JMO

Everet, I'm usually the one who doesn't like advertising on a truck, van, car, or bicycle. If people are happy, that's all that
matters. We had our finest year ever this year and with the exception of our oldest vehicle, we have no advertising at all. I don't
expect that what works for us will work for everyone else. I actually like trucks that are covered with wildlife, but our customers
don't.

Paul: How many years have you been in business and also what is the ratio of new calls to repeat calls. Patriot trapper is new to the business. I have a very small service area. But again this is not what I do for a living. I am retired. Mole are my bread and butter. I tell people they have a healthy lawn when you have mole and it makes them feel better. Have your customers told you they did not like your advertising on your trucks?
