I hear that, I don't think that I have had an increase in pay in over 2-3 years, although my hours/stress have sure increased.

You can recruit world wide,the wages that you offer are very attractive to someone from Australia or New Zealand.Many young Bucks woul bust a gut to come and work in your region for a season or two.Also good Climbers often know other good Climbers so you could be onto a winner.
You can organise H2B Visa's for them.Thats the kind of Visa I had when I worked in the States.Look into it,sounds like your having a hard time finding good guys.

Do you check their Facebook Wall while you're gone? Would be a funny way, and not funny at the same time way, if you told them on FB to get the F. Back To Work Or You're Fired! Good luck on the search.

wife called me and said ...you just left the job didnt you.....yes 5 mins ago........oh well your driver/ crew leader in training.....is on fb..and didnt answer when she asked if the stumps were all done.
told him ill can hi ass if it happens again, its stealing, time, which equals money.
trying to get the wife to list in tree care industry mag
considering profit sharing or a percentage of co (small) to make it worth while for someone to join up with me
so i keep on buying goodies...knowing that if i build it, they will come, or at least i'll be decently equipped anyways.
gosh youd think 3 to 4 grand a month, a co truck and a bonus plan or something would draw talent in.......im still wrong i guess
my spanish guy tells me when i leave a site all the white guys screw off as soon as im gone

You almost need an entire new crew, or send someone ELSE to dump the truck.

Sounds like the company I've been working for the last week. They have 3 crews, his other 2 climbers are super cocky and lazy, slow and inefficient. Every job he takes them to look at has to take at least a day. I did what they said was a week of work yesterday,so he wants me to work with the other 2 crews and whip them into shape.

Bill-
If you're that big of an asset to them, then make sure you get paid for it. I spent too many years busting my ass for others and not charging enough for my time in hopes of winning their approval. Approval doesn't mean shit, and if you work cheap then people think of you as the cheap guy.

Oh for sure.I'd personally rather be productive and make my boss happy then milk and lose my job. I guess alot think differently. Then again i'm used to going out,charging a set amount for a job and doing 6-8 jobs a day.

Here's the answer...
Before you leave, tell them what you want done by the time you get back. Give them a fair, reasonable amount of work that YOU EXPECT to be COMPLETED (or at least getting close) by the time you arrive.
Tell them they can log into FB, take a break, kiss each other, YOU DON'T CARE. So long as they've completed the designated tasks by the time you return, it's all good.
And if they don't look like they've been working, it's pay-docking time!
