[treeclimber101]

Half of these guys are a ****ing joke . Last week joe sent me a message saying having fun in Philly met a real nice whore . So I figured well I guess I will be changing oil today get to work he's passed out in his car with the heat blasting ..... But he was there completely useless and stunk like brown liquor so bad that I wanted to vomit but he was there he slept there evidentially ! To say the least it shows strong character , poor choices but strong character ! Next day he came back said sorry I will work til 9pm if need be and we did no hurt . But the other half of these guys are not worth a damn and will live there whole lives with awesome excuses of why they are weak minded

You never know though. One of the guys with me now was big on the no call/no show deal last year. I finally told him to "go suck a cock". Somehow I ended back with him this year, and the kid has been genuinely phenomenal. Really nothing for me to complain about. Even brought along a cdl guy for me just lately. That one seems dealable so far too. I guess it doesn't hurt that he's had no car, so kinda dependant on me since I've been picking him up (till his buddy started, now they ride in together). I guess my point is that you never know. I'm just riding it out these days, no big stress. Its just the tree circus.

Have you got the call from jail yet? "Won't be in today, got locked up on the way to work."

Nice way to start your weekend work.

My new favorite saying for situations like that is simply "next"!! Lol.

For ***** a joke ! How can a grown man live like that ? I find it like I said laughable ! Then you see these guys from time to time always the Same ****

I got one that is sticking now. They don't come often, the last one lasted I think 6 or 7 years. This guy is good and dependable and has been around the block, lived homeless and lived in prison and is sober, fit, smart and tought. Takes all my fussy ass schit too as that is what keeps the high end clients. Last client just shook his head and said, "wtf, you guys have a vacuum cleaner out here?".

Sadly, we all know the type. Somehow they always seem to remain flush with cigarettes sporting fancy names like "Mustang", and "GPC" though. Amazing.

Hell of it is, I have competition that fits that description. I mean the "owner" of the outfit. And there are dumbass homeowners around here that hire the F'ing clowns.

I am having a beautiful day! I have to say that our firefighters are awesome! It is amazing how many homes were saved with fire just yards from the homes. Watching 8 or 9 air drops timed so perfect,, Very impressive.

Took some pics going home to get some stuff loaded in my truck.

I hate when they message called once 2 days ago and you too busy to get back to them and the next call you get from them is still on the second day and the message says they called "2 or 3 times last week and you didn't get back to me"....I hate when they pull that schit.

So now we're crying about being too busy?? I'd be hoping that backlog keeps up.. especially with new chipper payments being what they are and all. Just saying. Suck it up and put on your man suit.

What's a payment on a 60k chipper anyway?

Ambrosia beetle, mid may application with Onyx (and Pentrabark). Creates all those little holes at the bottom of Tuliptrees and will kill them with vascular feeding.

ya gotta consider the fact that moron tree company owners are destroying half our workforce I would guess prior to them calling us (the better companies). One guy asking me for a job said he called one ad and the owner of the company asked him if he smoked pot. He replied no. The owner proceeded to tell him, "we can't use you then".

More than I'd wanna be married to at this point, that's for sure.

I wish I was that busy right now.

in conn. the dot requires you to have a cdl driver with a class a if trailer is over 10,000# even if your pulling with a pickup under cdl gvw. were not in kansas anymore.

That is true all over the country. My point was that most chippers do not have titles or any GVWR ratings, so Mr. DOT cannot hold you responsible for any CDL requirements.

It matters not at all what some load weighs. If you could tow a 50,000lb chipper/grinder with your F-150 you still wouldn't need a CDL if the machine had no title or trailer license. The only thing that counts for CDL requirements is the Gross Vehicle Weight RATING. Curiously, they cannot give you an overweight ticket for exceeding your GVWR either. They only give tickets for other overweight stuff.

Pretty much every chipper made in the last 30 years has a certificate of origin = title with a gvwr listed from the factory, otherwise it would be impossible to register it for otr use.

Well the new chippers come with a Vin tag just like trailers that has all there info on them including the weight.

Yep. That would get Mr. DOT all excited, wouldn't it?
