  3. To those with employees and multiple crews

    We do a schedule for each week we have 7 tech, 3 trailer rigs and some jobs that we do we supply a tech and customer supplys machine and soap. Everyone comes in at the scheduled time and go out to their assinged jobs with a assinged truck and trialer if needed. They all come to the office/shop before they leave out and return to the office to turn in the paper work i have them fill out.

    We always give free estimates. We work all over north Alabama so I just try to set up a time when me or a manager will be in the area so we dont waste as much fuel.
  6. Insurance saves the day!

  7. Full time or part time?

    been doing this is not easy by no means i started on the side then 6 months later i had to chose between full time job or business i had to chose business but i has been very tough sometimes. I try to do more commercial then residental for the repeat work but you still have to keep your prices down and quality up to stay around. I have had people quit working for me and go try to do it on their own call me 3 months later trying to sell me the equipment they bought.

  9. Insurance saves the day!

    I have had since the start of my business and I had to use a couple of weeks ago when one of my guys didnt give a tractor-trailer enough room to turn. He put the trailer tires in a hole and turned it on its side. I sure am glad i have it now. It was about a $25,000 accident. Check out pics.

  12. Questions from the new guy

    As for the insurance just check your local insurance companys. other then that the best way to learn is by doing to jobs and figure out what works best for you people like the x jet i my self havnt used it i fill a ladder is the best way to make sure everything gets clean and if a ladder is not suitable ill pressure the chemicals through the pump. I have been in business for only 6 years and know that i still have alot to learn
