Russ, things don't happen overnight, and they don't happen without help (volunteerism). I hope that one or both orgs can move forward and make something of themselves for all our sakes. But I realize that it won't happen at the hands of just one or two people.

Beth you have never been more right and I know things dont happen over night

In retrospect , we dont need to start out on the wrong foot or we may end up running off the road in a wreck again

It will take all we have collectivly to make it work and the decisions need not be made under the table or behind closed door as they were in the past in some instances

I agree, if everyone, including the hacks and lowballers were educated on both how to do a good job and raise prices for fair work then we all would benefit, including the lowballers and hacks.

Our local network is staying the course. We're working with State & local authorities, not to enforce rules but to assist in interpreting them. We have an educated, unified group with common goals who have a vested interest in how our industry does business in our areas. Does this mean that our collective network may become the AHJ in our area - let's hope so! We can only have the best interest of our local contractors in mind because that is who makes us up!

For those who saw the reclamation ad in the middle of the article and it struck a nerve - some of us here in the Carolinas saw it differently. Anyone notice where that company is? In NC. Did anyone pay attention to the fact that the ad showed compliance in what? TRUCK WASHING. Reclamation is vital in truck washing so let's not bang that manufacturer for having an ad in the drought article - this is a NC company that the PWNC will support in their efforts as a local distributor because they provide a necessary service for our fleet washers. And if they didn't know who PWNC was before, they will now We'll be able to help each other.

One large benefit that these networks are going to provide is a check & balances system within the states. Local distributors count on local companies to support them. Local contractors can turn to these companies to seek education in some instances, or possibly discounts in others. We help each other. The notion that all distributors are out to control everything because they supposedly have the money is ridiculous. We're all in business to make money and if we support each other properly, we all will.

To be honest Beth just for clarification , Sunbrite has several offices not just in North Carolina , I know that the one that was spoken of was in fact in North Carolina

It is also my understanding (though a rumor and not fact) that they had no idea there were going to be mentioned in the article.

I don't think the article has misinformation - particularly since CT was one of the sources that we have used in asking how to deal with some of the media issues we had.

As I said in another post - there was enough "meat" initially in that article to fill the whole magazine. To have to compress that into a standard article MUST be difficult. Sometimes the end result can be that all of the facts may not be included...it doesn't mean the ones that were there are wrong.

Lots of things also changed from the time that the article was written until published. The article was written weeks prior to the announcement of the merger. Car washes, which were once restricted (at the time of the story) got their bans lifted the first week of March. PWNC had a number of badly worded publications changed after the article. The drought conditions improved dramatically. With that in mind, for anything written about our network, the story was very accurate. I cannot speak to Carlos' information but I would hesitate to dispute the staff of CT's writer's ability to collect information.

Maybe you should write an article of your own and send it in...
