I heard on the news the other night that FEMA paid $175 per ton for debris removal after Katrina. The final sub contractors that moved the debris got $5. per ton.
The other $170 per ton went to well connected, large companies.

My Dad went to Ottawa in 1998. They had the ice storm there and he went with a couple guys and a truck with gear (no chipper or stumper).

Working hurricanes like you describe used to be profitable and even fun. But the homeowners who can afford to pay you have insurance and the ones who can't depend on FIMA. The big disaster relief companys have these markets tied up. They will sub you to do the work and God bless you if you can make a living on what you get.
Manager of sales? with spelling like that? Storm work is only profitable if you are a big Co. or a small Co. the middle guy has a hard time bidding against the likes of this, IMHO
