2 man tean with chipper

[Gray git]

Hard round here as a few two man teams with van and chipper working for 200 a day as the van chipper saws, fuel, everything ain't there's but can only get to you on a weekend as doing there PAYE work the rest of the time. Just lost a big chestnut dismantle to them, I think, as the client though I was taking the p when I said my rate for two of us with chipper etc for a day to do the tree and if time alowed a few shrubs. Boils me up sometimes when im trying to get going and make enough to grow the business and replace kit.

Impossible to compete against so don't try.

 

They can't do Mon-Fri, you can.

Cheeky sods use it as a good point to the service as it means the client won't have to take a day off to help them..?...

I prefer the client not to be in, seem to get on quicker as dont have to waste time going over and over what we are doing or answering all the mad things mentioned in the funny things customers say thred
