Anyone else seeing a slow down in jobs?
I have a very very active spring and summer, so much so that I booked out most of the Fall before summer was even over. Now I'm trying to book up just a few more weeks before winter hits and Facebook ads are returning much less leads and less of them are turning into actual jobs I talked to three other guys running mulchers in my vicinity and they're all seeing the same thing, downturn that seems to have started in August. Anybody else seeing anything similar?
Tie down time saver (45 minutes)
Got tired of throwing chains around. I had chains and these Peerless binders. It took 20 minutes to get tied down and 10 minutes to get unhooked. I picked up these "easy ratchet" binders and it now takes less than 5 minutes to tie down and 2 minutes to unhook. Easy to swap hooks or add chain for extra length (with a double clevise). So for one transport I went from one hour ( roughly) to fifteen minutes with less exertion, which really helps at the end of the day.

I had the peerless binders for years and while they're better than the old snaptrap binders you're right, it's a good bit of effort to expend at the end of a long day. I switched to Speedbinders last year and love them, they're a great alternative as well.
Huge win!
Through better marketing and raising my prices (thanks Austin!) I just went over $200k of jobs on the books and I'm only booked up half way into September! Last year I grossed $208k for the whole year! I'm thinking I could make it to $270k this year!

Opinions on new business cards?
I'm finally running out of the business cards I've been using for many years. The old cards had a whole array of services on them but now that I'm primarily doing forestry mulching I wanted a card that reflected that. Here's what I have so far (front and back) and I've been staring at them for so long now I'd love some other opinions. Any and all criticism/critique is welcome.

@Kent Turner Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
Forestry Mulching VS Land Clearing
This might seem like an odd question but how is everyone defining these too? Forestry Mulching and Land Clearing? Differences from one to the other in your market?

@Roy Campbell Same here, I would definitely not call mulching land clearing just to be clear
