I am confused about class A CDL's. I see several options ranging from 8 weeks to something called fast track. Some research says I dont need to take every test, like bus driving, etc. Just looking for some advice from experience as it is so easy to get ripped off and pay for more than I need.

Hey guys! Long time no talk. So I’ve been pretty fortunate the last two months as far as jobs/work booked. I’ve completed around 50k worth of work in the last two months, my goal at the beginning was 15k a month so this is outstanding! But I’ve got a problem. I’m running a Bobcat T770 with a ShearX 61” mulching head. I’ve NEVER had any heat soaking issues, but we’ve also been fortunate to not have 90° weather. Except this week. I was in the middle of a job yesterday and the machine threw “High engine compartment heat” code 3 different times shutting me down each time. I religiously clean the cooling packs every morning, clean the screens and all multiple times a day. I rinse out the rads every weekend and all. It’s not a buildup issue. I contacted my dealer (who’s been a nightmare since the start, will not purchase anything from them again) and I’ve contacted the guy I bought the mulcher from. He’s an experienced mulching head dealer with 2 machines of his own. Dealer didn’t say much, mulching head guy said to get rooftop cooler. My question is, do any of you have a Roof Top cooler and how much do you think it actually helps? Like I said, I’ve never had this problem yet with my T770 but I believe the Hydro system is heat soaking the engine compartment in this hot weather mixed with the heat the mulcher creates. A rooftop cooler is roughly $6,600 so I’m asking for real world results and opinions from people that may have experienced this. Thanks!

So this season is going gang busters. I now have over $100k of jobs on the books and my schedule is full almost to the end of June. Today I did another 10 estimate appointments, have another 10 next Friday, another 6 the Friday after that and another 10 leads I'm still chasing down and more coming in each day! For all of today's estimates I had to tell them I was booking new jobs in June. I booked 8 of those jobs with the other 2 being strong maybes. When I told each of them that my first available dates were in June they were all a little shocked but were already sold on the work so it wasn't a deal killer. Here's my dilemma; when I do next week's estimates I'll be telling some of them that I'm booking new jobs in *JULY* which is 3+ months away. In the past I've observed that jobs booked out too far are subject to more cancellations when the time gets closer to the job date. I'm considering pausing my ads for a bit (or maybe reducing the daily spend from $50 down to $10 or something?) So, has anyone else run into this problem? Am I crazy to think about pausing/slowing the ads down for 4-6 weeks? Any other suggestions/opinions? Before you suggest it, I'm just not at a place where I feel like I could or even want to find/train/equip other employees. Being the boss that just drives ads & estimates is a future goal but not yet.

Hey everyone! My name is Hunter, and my business partner and I are in the process of launching A&S Land Co. based in the Texas Hill Country, serving the surrounding area and South Texas. By day, I work in enterprise IT sales, and over the last several years I've also gained hands-on experience operating and working around skid steers and equipment on my family's farm. We're starting this business because we enjoy helping landowners improve their properties, with an initial focus on forestry mulching, cedar removal, pad site preparation, and ranch and land development. For now, we'll be operating on afternoons and weekends while I continue my IT career, which provides the stability to reinvest in the business and grow it the right way. We currently have access to family equipment, but we're evaluating whether to rent initially or purchase new equipment as cash flow grows. I'm joining this group to learn from those who have already built successful businesses—my goal is to soak up as much knowledge as possible, avoid rookie mistakes, and land our first job within the next 45–90 days. I appreciate any advice on equipment, pricing, estimating, marketing, or anything else you wish you had known when you were getting started. Looking forward to learning from everyone!
