Now I know that I have just started out too, but when I got started I made sure that I invested in some equipment and looked somewhat legit. I was working on my chipper and a guy that I hired once to help me stopped by my house and told me that he was starting his own company now. He has only ever been a piss poor groundsman and thinks that tree work is quick and easy money because the boss makes $3000 off of a day and a half job. The thing that bugs me is the fact that since the storms hit, the area I live in went from four established companies and one start up as me. To 3 established companies and 9 total start ups including my self. Out of the 9 I am the only one with a wood chipper and a chip truck. One guy has a bucket truck and no chipper. I just don't quite understand how someone can at the drop of a dime say let me grab my chainsaw, a six pack, a joint and my truck and start a tree service and try to use the liability insurance on their auto insurance as there GL insurance. I understand that I too am a start up company but I like to think of my self as being ahead of most start ups seeing that I do have a chipper, a chip truck, a stump grinder and soon to be a larger chip truck. I have a 2 million general liability insurance policy and I now have workmans comp on my self as I have not found reliable help and do a lot of the work by my self. I know this is a stupid sounding paragraph of BS but it was just grinding my gears for a while now.
