    Carpet?

    I've heard time and time again over the years workers boasting how the companies will be screwed when they leave. Well guess what, they leave and the companies carry on just fine.

    Needs? Everyones expendable whether they want to believe it or not. Pain in the backside having to replace staff who are otherwise decent though for sure.

    Used to drive a 3.5 ton Fiat Ducato maxi in a former job many years ago. We used to load that up with 100 sacks of spuds which is 2.5ton. That used to sit on its arse! Thankfully never got pulled. No power steering back then either. It was ok once you were moving but a pig to do a 3 point turn!
  5. Steve Bullman
    Yep better. People want to know what they are getting themselves into before turning up

    not exactly an alleged statement though is it.

    Your tip site listing doesn't look overly welcoming. I'd skip past it if another nearby looked more inviting. Few tips here https://freewoodchips.co.uk/how-to-get-wood-chips-from-tree-surgeons/

    Fixed that for you

    Just to add, aside from not being happy with what you earn, if the company is a good one and giving you plenty of opportunities to climb, perhaps with a bit of mentoring thrown it, then it would probably be a good move to hang in there for a little while regardless.

    The reality of the situation is that if you have only been climbing for 3 months, unless you are exceptionally gifted then you're not really worth anymore than a groundsman to a company. In fact as the climber generally sets the pace for the whole job (unless the groundstaff are next to useless) then you could arguably be worth less than a groundsman. That being the case its probably not a case of the company not valuing you, rather that they can't justify paying the extra to what is essentially a learner climber. Tickets don't really count for much at this stage i'm afraid. Can't comment on rates as i have no idea what they are generally like on the Isle of Wight.

    I had matadors fitted to my old LDV and they definately make a world of difference. Have AT2's on my pickup which also make all the difference. Yes its a 4wd model but probably used the 4wd a hand full of times.

    If you have a suitable place for tree surgeons to tip in your drive then you might want to try adding yourself to the tip site directory for a chance of some wood. https://arbtalk.co.uk/recycling/

    Yeah what Mick said. They won't accept the liability of letting you cut it up yourself.

    2 sides to this. If you get the job done by 2 because you worked your arse off, have a top team and are just super efficient, then you’re billy big balls. If you got done at 2 because you put a stupidly high price in for what the job was worth then you’re probably a bit of a rogue
  18. Steve Bullman
    Nah, can't believe that
  19. Steve Bullman
    Well? Do we have to wait till next year or what?

    Things like bark will always bring in poor quality leads unfortunately other choice is google ads but they are getting more costly by the day and will only get worse during the recession. Improving your own website will bring in better quality lease over time, but it’s not a quick fix if you are desperate for work now
  21. Steve Bullman
    Yes mate thank you.
  22. Steve Bullman
    I’m just fine (as far as I know) and thank you for your concern. Her indoors on the other hand, let’s just say I’m expecting to have to drive imminently 😀
  23. Steve Bullman
    I just need to find one person who is pro active

    I tried at the start. Even paid a stack of money to a police initiative called secured by design which turned out to be a total waste of money.
  25. Steve Bullman
    No its not linked to immobilise and im not really convinced if they'd be particularly interested in a linkup. I did contact them at the time of setting this up. In general the interest level seemed low. Also this police force seemed to be unaware of anything at all. I sent them a message regarding arbsafe which they initially responded to, but not to my subsequent message requesting a phone call to discuss opportunities. Seems the limit to their proactiveness was posting on social media which was disapointing.
