You can always walk away from the cheap potential customers. My price is my price. I have bills to pay but the amount of work stays the same. If they want cheaper then less work gets preformed. You want 600$ less then you get to keep the logs and chips. And them saying “I’ll pay cash” means...
I suppose it has to do with how rich they are. One or two million in the bank I suppose they would go with the cheap guy but 100 million plus plus folks want you in and out as quickly as possible and leaving the property like it never happened. Which costs money and most don’t care how much it...
Yeah there is no way in hell I am loading a trailer like that nor would I pay employees to load a trailer. Unless I am trimming an apple tree and the burn pile is less than a mile away.
I have to say that if I am pulling up to my customers thirty-nine million dollar house house with a trailer...
All the companies that I know that are getting 4500-5000 a day are rolling with heavy iron. 19” chipper, two 20yard chip trucks, Cat 299d, mini skid, quad axle dump, log truck with loader, 80+hp stumper, and an 80’ spider. Just saying.
Sounds reasonable. But it’s the small/tiny jobs you need to establish a minimum charge. Some jobs you will find one company will charge $$$ and take half a day and you may be able to do the job in less than an hour so you need to charge a minimum, of say 1/4 day.
