I need help from the more business wise people. I'm wondering how you figured out you per hour cost. I own my truck outright and rent a chipper. All my climbing gear is paid for. Do you take insurance, fuel, truck (replacement cost) and pay and divide it by something. I do alright but I need to get more confident in my bidding procedure. I want to be able to walk up to a tree and say it'll take me 5 hrs+dumping fee for chips and multiple it by a number to come up with my price. I know their is more of a science to it than a guesstimate.
