Idk how tall your trees are but we kill with a 14 ton 63 foot main cause that little thing will make it in every little spot although there are so many times I wish I had 90+ but then again I've been in spots the bigger truck woulda never made it!

I've got a pic of one that makes my 60 foot bucket look like a squirt truck.

Well, lost to asplundh maybe better luck next time. Only by like $20.00. At least I had a shot at it.

A margin that thin would probably indicate that they had an idea of what you bid.

No telling?

I was actually thinking that it was more indicative of the fact that this whole thread smells like one big romp through fields of BS to me, but what do I know. lol

I got something out of it. I never knew how minuscule the profit margins were on this line clearance racket.

Every thing has to be billed separate. Foreman,tt, gm, gf,topping gas saw, big saw and each truck all has a rate.

Does smell a little stinky. Have seen Lewis and a couple other bigger co's do right of way work on the same few blocks for months on end. Work that any normal company would have finished in a few days max.
I'm sure they're making bank, have heard that's how the DOT does it too, just keep adding equipment and guys and bill out the ass.

Very low profit but it's not about that it's about my trucks being everywhere. The biz that comes off of that is the big picture. Like the city contract I have. I make more money off of other customers then with the city work. The city keeps me busy I would say about 10,000 a month with the city.
