first thing I want to know is what is the average ground guy paid? I just want to know if I can even afford to be a grunt for a tree company.where I work now I don't make a ton of money but I guess wouldn't be considered bad money in this economy. if you don't want to start a riot on the forum you can PM me what you make or what you pay your guys just so I can get an idea.
and now to the business
anybody around the Chicago area looking to hire a full time guy?probably a bad time to ask going into winter and all but I'll give it a shot.
I know my way around a chainsaw pretty good the last time I got my bar pinched I think I was 13 years old lol I actually have some climbing gear and a few ropes and have done some climbing to remove some of our trees in the back yard, neighbors/friends trees, and several "craigslist free fire wood tree jobs". I'm nowhere near the point of being fast or comfortable in a tree but if the need was there I could be convinced to leave the ground for whatever reason. I am also gonna start the process of getting my cdl whether it be a class A or B I'm not sure yet but I can drive pretty much any vehicle,I'm a yard switcher at one of the biggest FedEx facilities in the country and can back a trailer into any spot the thing will physically fit into, I also have lots of experience backing straight trucks in extremely tight spaces in the building ( sometimes less then an inch of clearance) so if you need a backup driver to drive a rig I'm your guy
thanks for reading my novel
