Thats because he needed someone to drive him.
Dont know if fishercat was reffering to me or not. My point was, that that was a stupid comment. Whether or not a guy has a license, is still a valid question - regardless or the owners situation!
Do you think every tree service owner has just one truck and chipper to move around stupid?

Here's the real deal:
Once a climber has reached a point where he is truly experienced he is either going to be doing his own thing or charge his employer dearly. In other words, by the time he is of real worth he is either hip to the fact that he is worth quite a bit of money or he is a moron... Some experienced climbers are going to have personal issues be it license trouble, substance abuse issues, child support issues, what have you.
That is why it is really challenging to find a highly qualified climber who wants to work for someone else who doesn't have issues. You either need to be generating a lot of volume and income to support him or get your ass up the tree and climb yourself.

Are you kidding... He's the Bohemian climber with the young, pretty and rich wife... :hmm3grin2orange:
I'm about to go though that again pretty soon treeclimber. Everything is in my name and insured. I am an excluded driver however (obviously). Just give them the license number of your worker is pretty much all there is to it here.

Thats crazy here you need to present your license to renew , and it never fails that I get hit with at least 2 checkpoints a year , I would be crapping a brick if I were you daily , here they impound your truck for an old registration NO EXCEPTIONS..
Piece-o-cake.
1. Form a corporation.
2. Register all vehicles in corporation name.
3. Problem solved. Corporations don't have drivers licenses, none required to get a license.
In Missouri, you don't need a license to register anyway. My mother hasn't had a license for 10 years, but her car still has plates.
Its all perfectly legal.. trust me treeclimber. This ain't the first year of this deal for me, more like twelve now that I think about it.

True story:
When I was in my 20's I worked for a guy who was a great climber but a total lush. He took me and the rookie groundman to the bar one day after work. He got hammered and passed out. The groundie drove us home with the owner riding shotgun. I was in the back holding the owner by the hair of the head with his face in the passenger side window and was waving his hand at people going by us on the highway... We called it weekend at Bernie's...

I believe ya theres no question about that your surely getting the trucks there somehow and operating , I don't dispute the legality of it at all , here they stop you for safety checks and basically its a way for our bankrupted state to generate revenue ...
It is perfectly legal (to the best of my knowledge anyway) and should be! Saying a man cant own a business because he made some mistakes in his 20's would be a little extreme don't ya think?

Yup If was still paying for my mistakes from the 90's my a## would be walking forever but my biggest mistake that I made was be pulled over with 2 ounces of weed under my seat and a machete behind the seat , for some reason they classify that as a deadly concealed weapon LOL go figure I use it just to kill poison ivy
This was the dumbass comment that led to all this anyway.. what a ####ing moronic thing to say!
This dude came to work for me for a day or two a few years back. I told him to use a running bowline on something or another. He tells me he doesnt know it, and that he "used to, but forgot it", and couldnt "find his knot book". Lmfao!
And bull####! That comment was directed at me I say.. good luck in Tennisee you simpleton! maybe you'll do better there!
Maybe take the fat gay pig with you!

She was not that rich, and definately was not pretty. Just a horny 17 year old.
Remember: the rabbit goes up through the hole, around the tree, and back down through the hole.
