They put them on forwarders here. If they can stand up to that, why not on a truck.

I don't understand the whole " Backing the truck up to the chipper" problem. Don't you have back up cameras in the US? When I back up to the chipper/trailer/whatever, I can put the hitch right under the reciever, and I mean RIGHT under in first try. Always amazes the shit out of people who...

That describes me to a T:lol: I do the crash and dash price a lot. Usually if I have to work around some stupid scrub or flower ( If it isn't edible, it has no place in MY garden) but the way I do it, is ask them if that plant is worth so & so much. When they ask why, I tell them that is how...

Sean, you know how I teach people to tie knots? Give them a list of knots and tell them to learn them. Till then, it is only grunt work for them. Easy enough. I gave my new apprentice a list before X-mas holidays and told him I expected him to have them down when he came back after x-mas. He...

Sean, all of the above things would lead to a SEVERE repimand from me. I tell them that we are working in a job where a bad day at the office doesn't mean somoone took the last coffe and didn't brew a new pot, but that somebody got maimed or worse. So we don't tolerate safety sloppiness. I've...

Sean, I look for a different personality type that you, I think. It takes a special mind set to be a faller, working on your own all day, only talking to other people for lunch. Lot of them find out that they can't whip themselves to work fast enough to make money when they are on their own...

Sean, we have to give 3 warnings before we can fire someone for bad behaviour. I've never had to give anybody a warning until last week. We meet up while it is still dark put on caulk boots, fill gas cans etc while waiting for it to become light enough that we can see the trees we are logging...

My 3 "Do"s: Pay them well Train them well Make them feel they are a valuable part of the company. #4: Tear your hair out when they quit because they got into the police academy!

We went through 6 applicants before we found our present apprentice. He is ok, but having Martin has kind of spoiled me, I think. I keep expecting the new guy to pick things up faster than he does. My best apprentices have been the type who goes to college, then sort of drift for a few years...
