    Line clearance company standards

    I was pretty sure that hardhats don't meet z133 standards. I believe you need a chin strap.

    Need a bosses advice

    It is actually a shall, though any of those rules can be broken if it is established and documented that it is in fact safer to break the rule. The burden of proof will be on the company to prove that if there is an investigation. To the OP: It is a little touchy stepping into a new position...

    New Pfanner Gladiator Vents

    I have only owned the gladiators before my first pair of red "gladiator ventilators". I've only had them for a few months, but no issues on durability. I didn't really have issues with my other two pairs of gladiators though. Friends had issues with another model of pfanners that didn't have...

    Large trucks, axel ratings vs legal weight limits

    I can't speak for MI, but generally axles are rated for their gross rating, the most that axle would transfer to a scale. A truck with a GVWR (according to manufacturers or builders door tag, not always sum of axle ratings) of 60k can weight up to 60k (absent state regulations that lower total...

    Best CRM for small service

    I'm interested to hear. Other opinions. We have been using Jobber, but it's not really CRM. I'd like the idea of a full on CRM, but wish it could integrate with Jobber. Arborgold gas some great CRM features, but I couldn't stand some of the processes for bidding and scheduling as compared to...

    Business move advise wanted.

    I'm pretty sure it's a DOT thing not a DOL thing, though if you don't have it registered for enough tonnage as your carrying you can be fined. If I am correct CDL requirement is determined by the GVWR which is indicated on the door tags, as well as trailer GVWR and combine GVWR or GCWR. in...

    Sales incentives, short term and long term.

    I haven't had the opportunity to hire a salesperson. However, my plan and partly based off of a friend's company was to pay hourly. That is actually a point that can be sold to the customer because it can comfort them knowing that the sales is not high pressure, and they are less likely to so...

    Is a Spider Leg considered a Sling according to OSHA?

    I researched this issue quite a bit in the past few months as I was planning to buy a set of spider slings after last storm season. I was only able to find one research document that talked about strength loss of a clove hitch and surprisingly it was 35-62% strength loss, especially with high...

    Left over Amsteel...What to do, what to do?

    I made 20-30' slings that we keep on the truck for staying brush piles. Picture a 6 man crew working 100' from the chipper. You can run the winch line out and stage the brush on the line and winch it in, or you could take your slings lay them in 3 different places, stage 3 piles, and winch as...

    Favorite "Privacy Hedge" options?

    Bamboo is great, IF a non-invasive aka clumping species is selected. They can be tame if the right one for the space is selected. Bamboos have been given a bad name because too many people have gone around and planted running bamboos. Not all bamboo are created equal.

    APTA-tude adjustment

    What bags have you had fail? I commonly use between 150 minimum and 200psi and have never had an issue. Probably have at least 60-80 shots on my first set of 2 12oz Weaver premium (as recomended). That's still with the old ball valve aluminum version.

    Arborgold

    Do you mind explaining this? I've read this all over the place and it's always kept me away from them. I'm only headed that way because I'm more or less being forced from Jobber. What was your experience?

    Arborgold

    I have been looking around. One of the features of Jobber that I really liked was the ability to recieve a signature on my tablet and have it go straight onto the quote, and be sent to the client. ArborGold does support this, ArborSoftWorx does not natively (they explained a work around but I...

    What is your bookkeeping program? I love Jobber, but have had to "go shopping" because they will no longer be supporting Quickbooks Pro (desktop). It had always been a little error prone in syncing, but I really do like pretty much everything else about Jobber.

    Estimating Large Jobs! Whats your trick?

    My sketches for this purpose are basically chicken scratch for my use to help me in case I get distracted mid estimate. I could finish another day, or say someone walks up to talk and now I forgot if I was half way through that group or this group... If I'm making a report, or sometimes on a...
