Anyone use any apps or gadgets for tracking mileage on your vehicles? One of my vehicles is more mixed use versus just business and the accountant wants me to start tracking. Obviously pen and paper is simple but wanted to see if anyone is using sometime simple and basic. Thanks,

All good. I'm learning a lot and visualize the pros and cons for the area I work.

Yes, Parts is one thing I would have a concern about.

Hey, Wondering if anyone has any experience with the No Name Mini skids? In my area I'm starting to see a lot more of the Alibaba mini skids getting imported, then rebranded. They all look similar and that's why I called them No Name. Anyway, they are priced pretty affordable 9-15k Canadian...

This is essentially what I did. I am sure it will be fine as I have already gotten other jobs from them after politely declining.

I'm not too concerned about the odd new client. In those cases I will put a crazy number or simple let them know I don't have time in my schedule for the work. It's more when and contractor or municipality that I work for keeps sending me jobs and it starts to be too much or I simple don't want...

Hey, Anyone have some good email script for declining work? I'm starting to come across more work that I just don't want anymore. Whether it be for staffing reasons, work load or it's just a tree that's I'm not into. I don't want to burn any bridges, so I'm looking for a good way to respond...

Hey, Is there a certain part of the chain that is responsible for cutting when doing the 45degree cut on your face cuts? Hope that makes sense. I've never been the best at sharpening. For flat striaght cuts my saw is mowing through logs and throw nice big chips. When I go to do the 45 degree...

Unfortunately there aren't many opportunities to chip on site. But something I will start exploring more. I have a local dump that never fills up and dump fees are relatively cheap whether its chipped or not. @SeanKroll "I've considered getting a dump trailer instead of keeping/ upgrading my...

Hey, Not sure if this is a biz or equipment type post. Any of you ever downsized from a chip truck and chipper to just a truck and dump trailer? If so, why did you? Any regrets. Basically my chip truck is aging and requires lots of maintenance. I don't want to replace it. I've thought about...

Great. Thanks for the feedback. Glad it all worked out for the both of you.

Hey Bermy and Bioassay, How was it buying off Rope master site? There stuff comes up often in my searches but never pulled the pin as I'm unfamiliar with there site/service. Cheers
