As far as tree work in Texas "bonded" is just a marketing word passed down from one generation of drunks and dope heads to the next.

I thought I was smart and bought a bunch of treated 3/4 a few years ago...big mistake. It doesn't last any longer and is heavy as hell. 3/4 CDX is the way to go. 5/8 is too weak. 1/2 is ridiculous.

That's from those Bucket Truck Ranch guys in Oklahoma. They specialize in auction trucks they pick up here and there. I stopped in there once...old non over center power line trucks and cable tv trucks is their thing.

You can't get anything nice for 25K. Do you own a time machine?

I had one of those I picked up from a company going out of business. Adding a remote was going to be a major deal. I sold it to a local municipality. Good machine though.

$35,000? Wow...

Very rarely. Women almost never look like the mental picture you have of them from a phone conversation. Happened to me just yesterday.

Guy just about gave me one after a trade show a some years ago...I didn't like it. I gave it to guy that used to work for us and he didn't like it either. It's probably beer cans by now.

And you will be surprised what they will cut!

Guy went silent on me anyway...still has it listed. I don't give a F. His loss.

Gotta love those super blue spotless coveralls.

Who knows anything about Waldon wheel loaders? A guy wants to sell me one...5100 series. Looks to be about a 2000 model. 3100 hours. Runs good.

What finally got me was when she started quoting things I never said and mentioned how much money I would owe them for doing the job. I have been doing this for a long, long time. You can just tell when to cut your losses and run. Most all of them that moved to Texas from California are ****ing...

Yesterday I let my guard down and found myself making the mistake of working for some more of the nut jobs that have moved here from California. This time I have learned my lesson for good. This one cost us pretty good as I told the crew after half a day to just clean up the yard, load the...

You feel like it...the woman is just crazy. I actually got paid upfront from her sister about four times what the job was worth to work over there. That's the only way I would do it. Crew leader said he was never going back there. That was it for him at that dingbats house.

Lady threw dogshit at me today...not a good day. Wet, fresh dogshit. She claimed we were over pruning her crape myrtles.

Put your price out there there and stick with it. When things are good you will get it...when they are bad nobody works much anyway. Never get into a race to the bottom. Invest most of what you make back into your company...it takes a while but it pays off. Jeff is right...consider pursuing...

I'm just glad I'm 61 and not 17 and just breaking into this industry. But wow what a trip! If I had to do it all over again knowing what I know now...**** I'm not even going to finish that statement.

Yes, but only pretty recently... "In 2011, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration called for a restriction on CDL licenses for drivers using a Commercial Vehicle for a CDL road test when equipped with an automatic transmission. The state of Minnesota adapted that change as of May 4th...
