That’s nothing to sneeze at! Have to ask…are they filling a variety of positions within your outfit or mostly the same roll? I remember working at a company sized similar to yours and ten people could disappear quite quickly into the fabric of the whole show. Laborers, mechanics, operators, drivers, office management, sales…
It's actually to outfit a new region for a utility contract in northern NJ. It was such a relief to have so many qualified people apply and accept the positions. That was the big "unknown" for me when I bid the project.
That is what we've seen typically as well. Getting the word out to the right people is not easy.
It sure isn’t! We’ve tried everything we can think of, we have a recruiting company that only searches for tree workers searching now and they’re not having much better results than we had on our own.
I can dig it. Nice! Good for Aspen, too. Now you can make a new thread titled ‘Utility Crew Upgrade’.
Looks like a real safety minded individual.
Wow. Looks like the stump let go on the left side. Glad it went into the lay, and glad you chose the guy lines. Always a safe bet if they’re clear to go over with the stem.
It held until the branches took significant weight on the ground, then it began to break/ pivot on the stump. Yes, thankfully the guy lines had no interference. Setup was about 1.25 hours, clean up was about 10 minutes. Nice for the last job of the day
Or a conehead.
I dunno, he seems the cream of crop compared to what I have available.
I mean he did show up for work and mostly work. Hes naturally a bit goofy. He did the cone thing all on his own. I happened to have my phone in hand about to take a picture of the job site when he did this.
That’s a great April Fool’s joke there!
Just curious, Mark, are you going to work with the folks in this new region? Afaik you work regularly with the team or teams in your current area.
I'll work with both as needed.
