How'd it go today?

Fuel filters on the trucks, estimates, and a few acres of grass cut.

Helped the boss play with the chipper, then went with young Levi down to Cycle Works in Fresno. Spent money I didn't really have, but I've got a nice vest, a new helmet, and the youngster and I hit Outback Steakhouse for supper and I got my blooming onion fix.

Fog, stairs, stumps, steep hills, moss and dead trees, got my 400 cutting like an absolute animal, cut and leave jobby and I'm jumping in the shower by 10am

not bad, not bad at all

Finished up third cutting today. The farm I drive for had a crew of Amish in working on the barns. Their business van own trucks, but they have to hire an English to drive them. Apparently they have a few LBZ Duramax dually pickups that are tuned and deleted. They were all eyes on me as sent in and out of the bunk. I guess they like kitty cats, too.

This was a rush job, customer was in town for 2 days and got on a plane just hours after we finished, bid the job and came back to do it the next morning


I might have to look into doing city contracts, they go with the lowest bidder here (not sure if they do where you live), but I don't think very many people even know they can bid on those projects, I'd rather work for the city and make less if it means I don't have to deal with customers, reviews, non payers, competitors, etc

just checked, theres only 2 tree companies doing contract work for the county I live in, coincidentally 2 of the biggest competitors in the area and I don't think they are making that much off residential, considering they basically don't advertise and we rarely see them working, but they have millions of dollars worth of equipment rolling around town 7 days a week!
