Blackberry, alder, old cars and cottonwood - 1+ acres
There is approximately a 500’ completely overgrown driveway (logging road) and then about an acre+ of overgrown blackberries, deep grass, and smaller <5” alder and cottonwoods to be removed. Larger trees staying to be cut for firewood. - I’m thinking of quoting 2 days and $3000 (I’m thinking I may be able to finish it in 1.5 days as long as I don’t break any teeth on rocks, old car frames or old well heads. How do you protect yourself in the contracts from unmarked debris such as the car or well? Do you offer discounts on multi day jobs or do you always try to stick to your day rate?

@Forrest Padden sounds like you’ve got a great established business. I’m trying to figure out how to get in on the state contracts in Okanogan, Skagit and Whatcom counties. Nice to meet another guy from Washington!

@Forrest Padden welcome and it sounds like you will grow great.
First META ad published - 9 tire kickers and one scheduled site visit in first 2 days
After a month of being overwhelmed by everything related to starting and running a business I finally was able to start my first META ads Tuesday evening - just a simple before and after still photo. I'm in the initial 72 hour let it sit and work phase. I know I need to tweak a few things but I'm happy with the results so far from only a $15/day spend. Messaging conversations started: 9 Cost per Messaging Conversation Started: $4.01 Views: 2.3K I wish I had started this in March - a month before I started work in April!!! I want to expand my spend and tailor the ads to higher paying customers soon. What was your first ad and how quickly did you scale your spend? I have time lapse and drone video, I have lots of photos. I'm trying to figure out what to do for ad number two.

@Roy Campbell leads - OK - is that the one they fill the form? My first campaign was messages - do you find that he leads generates higher quality contacts?
Do you ever bundle jobs across customers encounter offer lower prices to customers who have declined initial quotes?
I have a one day $2400 job scheduled for next week on Wednesday, the problem is it’s six hours away from where I have to pick up my drum mulcher and my rental skid steer, so I may end up having to rent the skid steer for two days. I have another customer near where I pick up the skid steer who declined my bid for an $1800 job, but I think he was close to approving, if I could lower the price on that job because I already have the skid steer rented for the other job should I go back with a counter offer or is that not something that we should ever do? I am quoting a third job that is near where I pick up the equipment tomorrow, it is a 500 foot logging road and then a acre of 10 foot tall blackberries and small alder and Willow and the owner wants everything smaller than 3 inches cleared. Ground is fairly level 5% slope. I was probably going to quote that at around $2500 as a day and a half of work. So my only fixed expense isthe skid steer rental is $300 per day (up to eight hours of machine time) or $1250 for a week, (seven days - up to 40 hours of machine time). I own the mulching head and the trailer. Of course I have all the additional overhead of fuel and insurance and maintenance costs on my truck and stuff, but I’m keeping those out of the picture for now. If I could get back the job that was declined and add this new job that I’m doing the site walk for tomorrow, and rent the machine for a week I think I would come out ahead overall, and it would be less stressful to have to do the turnaround with a 12 hours of driving to complete the one signed job on Wednesday. Attached photos showing the WET western Washington jobs with alder and blackberry (declined and quoting tomorrow) and the dry eastern Washington fire prevention jobs with mountain willow and small pine and fir trees (contract signed planned for Wednesday). Thoughts?

Introduction
Good afternoon, guys. Just throwing out my intro post. I live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and I am brand new to the industry. The name of my company is TRAK Construction Company (for now) and we are looking to narrow the name down into sub-categories once we get the ball rolling a bit faster. Anyways, we are brand new enough that I have officially completed two smaller jobs as of last week and am headed to quote my first large job tomorrow afternoon clearing a 25-acre section of timber. I have worked in the oilfield since I was 19 years old (currently 28) and have worked my way up to an outside sales position which is cool, but my hearts not in growing someone else's garden. I am ready to take the leap and bet on myself and land clearing has always been the dream combining my passions for equipment operation (oilfield), the outdoors, and adventure. I have a few years of entrepreneurial experience as I also own a bowstring manufacturing company. I am excited to be apart of the group and am willing to contribute any and everything I am about to learn on this journey.

Welcome to the group. I’m also looking how to create specialized company names for focused products.
