I'm not even sure what their conversation was about but i overhead one ground guy say to the other one "i'm not even gonna bother explaining it to you, i'm not the jackass whisperer."

I never understood this thinking. Whether the groundy lets it run or not, it still shouldn't be hitting your leg?

Sounds like you've been doing it wrong. Just saying.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, that's it.

 

[tree MDS]

Yea, that's it.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Yep.

We can borrow trucks and climbing gear and top handle saws no chippers or big saws though

 

[MasterBlaster]

If YOU owned the company, would YOU let your crew borrow gear?

Hint... liability!

My current employer has nothing worth borrowing besides a boom and obviously can't borrow that.

However my previous employer, Friday after work anything on the truck can leave but it has to come back monday. (You borrow a 365xp you bring back a 365xp, if the one you borrowed got a tree dropped on it, you find one to replace it.) The trucks could be borrowed if you called the GF and the HSE manager and got both okay's.

Climbing gear sure trucks no

So, as a treeco owner, what happens to you when they hurt themselves / damage something, using YOUR gear? Just their good faith?

Do you see where I'm going with this? Just playing the Devil's advocate, here.

**** I can borrow the whole crew to come to my house and I stay on the clock haha. We all have big properties with lots of trees and always have something going on we can personally borrow the crane tower chipper n all gear on company time to do a couple hours of work
