Asplunbh foreman's manual

[murphy4trees]

I have a 1986 revision of the 1981 original printing, and a revision in 2004... Anyone know if there were other revisions between 1986 & 2004 ..
They were in a tool box of a 1997 asplund bucket truck I bought in February
Thanks,
Daniel

I also bought an Asplundh truck and there was a manual in it so they must just leave them in there....I don't know what edition mine is.

I don't know but my dad talks about them all the time, kind of like an old Tree Climber's Companion. He was an Asplundh foreman. I always talk to him about new stuff or this and that and he'll say, "we used to have a book at Asplundh that had all that in it, I wish I could find one." Is there some good stuff in there or what?

Is there a chapter dedicated to the art of hackery?

C'mon clearance, you knowz I waz just funnin. It's fun to pick on the McDonalds of Utility Arboriculture. Like the wee pot calling the big kettle black in jest. Naturally there has to be an element of truth though, it's not as if they haven't got it honest.

If I wanted to really get a shot in I'd ask if there was a chapter on how to...ah nevermind, I'm trying hard to keep the gloves up.

I know, you are a utility guy, the bastid child of the arborist world, like me.

Actually we are the most imporatant treeguys of all, no power, no nothing, riots, looting, the end, without us, and the linemen. So we are the elite, the few, the proud.

I agree, I was a lineman and am the son of a line clearance man, a bastard to some a hero to others.

The ROW company I was working for in 93 had them on every crew. We read from it every day for our safety meeting. We went through it a couple of times while I was working there.
They had a lot of good info and a lot that didn't apply or maybe I just couldn't understand how to apply it. I was a little younger and dumber then.
One of the things that stiuck with me was the part that said that if the crew was as effecient with out the foreman as it was with the foreman, then the foreman was not doing his job. At the time I did not really agree, but have since learned that is very true.
The wood compression charts where pretty neat also.
