    Ground protection mats?

    I purchased 14 (white colored) Arbormats (4x8) a couple years ago. They’re decent. Not quite as stiff as alturnas. They have handles cut in so they are not too difficult for one man to carry. One thing I don’t like is that they are not a true 8’. About 4-5” short!

    On more than one occasion (3 different people) a client has asked me if his “wife would fit in the chipper.” They would always crack a smile.

    Crane collapse during a tree removal:

    How about setting the outriggers that close to the house. Could cause the basement to cave in. Maybe the house is on a slab though….

    Crane collapse during a tree removal:

    Seems awfully close to the house for a septic but it’s hard to tell just how close in the video. Maybe an old drywell?

    Clearing house for owner/operators

    I’ve only had my CDL a couple of years. Can someone explain to me how you as an owner/operator go about registering and keeping up with the Federal clearing house requirements ?
