I have been wanting to do this for a while but i need to know if there is a market for this and if so how to market it. I have a 1-ton truck (going to get a 2 ton before long) with a chip box (12 yards) and a 12inch diesel chipper. I would like to just show up and do the clean up work on the ground for tree services. Or at least chip and haul the brush away. I do a small amount of tree work. I hire a climber to come in and put stuff on the ground for me. Problem is I have a full time job and that limits me during the day. My father is a very hard worker he is retired and he helps me on all tree jobs. When we leave and area it is totally clean not a spec of saw dust a leaf or anything. He can go to the job and start working then I can get there early afternoon and help him finish. Do you think there is a market for a person with a chipper and a place to dump the chips. I don't want to have to do the work to get the jobs. I just want to be contracted to do them. What kind of rates could I charge. I'm insured and everything. Equipment isn't junk and I'm reliable. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
