[treeclimber101]

maybe one day that would be nice. but that means i am not working in the field with the boys.......can't have that just yet.

Pathetic really it is , not even a company truck , the A crane climber can't even score a ranger from the boss, Boy I wonder.... I bet they let you take the chip truck home as long as ya bring it back empty and washed in the morning ...I'm no MARQUI tree but my guys have a truck to get back and forth with and its been that way for me wherever I worked ..

just finished up a little side jammie. 7 tree day with a little cut back on the side of the yard.

my buddie gary bailed out on me this morning so i had to do double duty to get her done. left a few logs standing that i gotta lay over tomorrow to be totally finished with it. the neighbors were not very amused when i went on a dump run at 630 and came back to finish the chipping.

made some alright loot considering it was work for people i know so i didn't beat em up on the price but it was worth the effort.

all black walnuts and a couple little dead ash.

nice to have some loot in the pocket thats fo sho.

Gypsy.....

I'd like to have a blackberry but I know I'd just end up tearing it up. I've already sent two phones through the chipper...

I'm very lucky to get six months per cell phone most of em take a 80 foot fall I gotta start remembering to leave in truck.

I have been through three phones in the past year. I used to carry them in a case and hung to a belt loop with a biner. That's how I lost two phones to the chipper. Limbs snatched them off as I was feeding it (this was in about a 10 year period). I tried hanging it off of my saddle with a biner but it would get smashed or fall out of the case and drop to the ground. I have been carrying it in my ditty bag on my saddle here lately but it still gets smashed in there. I have a large crack in the LCD screen where it got smashed now. I can barely read the dam thing now. I am due for a new one. I have to carry my phone with me to conduct business. I have no one to answer the phone but me.

Yeah; I when real busy just let it go to mail but sometimes you can lose a customer that way.

I'm only saying that because he probably is a large part of that guy making upwards of 7K a day , and with that being said if he's not leaving the shop in a new personal vehicle he should at least have a work truck , I mean really you take care of those who take of you...So unless he fathered 6 kids somewhere he should have some cabbage in his pocket

I think oldirty gets payed pretty damn well if I'm not mistaken.. that would be my attitude; keep the truck, just break out the dough.

But yeah, I hear ya on the boss man making a killing part.

 

[tree md]

Don't matter what the boss makes. When you hire on you work for the wages you agreed to. I'm sure there are bonuses and perks but would you expect to get a chunk of the profits from Mickey D's if you were a manager there just because they have served over a billion?

I just don't get it where people think they should get a bigger chunk of the money just because the owner has done well. Have you sacrificed, taken the risk and put in the time, money, advertising, blood sweat and tears to make that business happen? Not knocking anyone for wanting a decent wage but last I checked good climbers make pretty good dough. No sense in getting your panties in a wad over what the owner is making.

I also believe that OD's relationship with his boss is his business and no one else's. If he is happy than that should be of no concern to anyone but him and his employer.

 

[tree md]

Oh yeah, I looked at one today where I am going to have to climb 6 trees and deadwood them. 2 are ancient Red Oaks. One is about 5' DBH and the other is a codom which is about 7' DBH then splits about 11" off the ground and the main trunk is around 5' diameter at that point. Should be a fun one. Wish I had a wraptor for this one. All the wood gets cut and stacked on the job.

Yup very good post md tried to hit ya with a couple novas lol

 

[tree md]

LOL, that's kind of a sore spot with me. I've had a few think that I should pay them more after they found out what I made on a job or two. Jobs that I sold, climbed and covered my ass with my own insurance to do. I generally ask them did you put your ass on the line to climb the job? Did you sell the Job? Did you use your equipment to do the job? Who would have taken the loss if property was damaged doing the job?

Don't get me wrong. My guys usually get paid more than their average wage when I do well. Lunches are usually bought for them as well as beer at the end of the day. I get no complaints from my current crew but I have had that problem in the past.
