My boys have been playing in that thing non stop since I got it home. We even had the neighbor kids over for a while. One of their favorite times is when I bring the chip truck home and let them pretend to drive and open up the man cab for them. Pure heaven for a 6 year old boy.

I just feel that a guy must be comfortable in the exact gear he wears. Why should I assign him the gloves of my choice? I mean, I insists PPE be worn, but if a diligent worker feels like he would feel more comfortable or productive in a certain get up that I don't already own, then I get it for him. That stuff remains with me if they quit though. Its not a gift.

I get it totally. For us, with 6000+ field guys, 4k utility/2k residential, our liability is too high if any PPE or work positioning equipment isnt paid for by the company. So while you arent expected to purchase anything you are limited in what you can use. Should you use something non-approved you are stepping over the line and open for problems. At the same time, I dont buy ropes, throwlines, weights, biners, snaps, saddle, straps, etc. Of course I use all sorts of unnaproved gear.
 
Ahhhh the money smell...... :lol:


Like the scent of spinning wheels on a pivoting skid steer piloted by a groundy on too many Red Bulls......
Like the money meter at the gas pump, these are the days of our lives.

One of my greatest mentors was a 15 year Davey/6 year Bartlett vet, who has returned from private residential back to Bartlett. He was LOADED with gear. Company approved, but name brand, top shelf gear.
