Hey there everybody. What are your thoughts on two man crews? I do residential tree work and we primarily run 2 man crews. It feels ridiculous on so many days not to have a third man. On the rare occasion we have 3 men the days seem to be so smooth and productive. Maybe it's a morale thing? Seems like one man on the ground can be really overloaded on removals especially. Leaving lots of down time for the climber. Today I was putting in a long cable (20 ft about) that was difficult to reach each side of. Great, we'll each do one side, right? But then there's getting the drill to each other...the co-worker drops the drill bit, silly things happen, someone has to be on the ground to cut the cable...etc. Or your left with having to have creative solutions for every little thing just to make up for your lacking of ground supports. Just rambling now.
The company I work for charges 100$ per hour per man (that's the goal) no matter the skill level of the employee. This is why 3 men can be a challenge because $300 an hour adds up quickly. Seems like a poor plan, though I've never tried to run a company.
