    White Pine Woes

    BY PAUL WOLFE II Most of us have pretty good memories. Like taking the driver’s-license test, first dates with our significant other, a sibling’s birth date, etc. I don’t remember any of those things as time is slowly eroding my mind. I do, however, vividly recall the first tree I climbed as a professional. Remember to get your free subscription to TCI Magazine by clicking here.

    Injury & Incompetence: Beware a Prematurely Promoted Crew Leader

    BY RYFE GREENWOOD I get it, your tree service needs production, and you need it now. Your employee retention is precarious, and the labor pool in your area is emptier than the Grand Canyon. Prematurely tapping a new crew leader seems like your only option. However, promoting to crew leader too early only sets up your business for failure.  Remember to get your free subscription to TCI Magazine by clicking here.

    Adapting During Uncertainty – Equipment Financing in Today’s Economy

    BY TIM BARTELT Deciding if and when to spend money on large capital-equipment expenditures is a strategic part of any business, and the tree care industry is not immune to that struggle. Buy outright or finance? Long-term rental or RPO (rental-purchase option)? These are questions being mulled on a daily basis, and interest rates, tariffs and business/economic outlook are all factors to consider. “Uncertainty” may be the keyword for the current economic situation, according to a group of finance companies we polled at TCI EXPO ’25 in St. Louis, Missouri, in November.

    Electrical Hazards for Aerial-Lift Operations

    BY JOHN BALL, PH.D, BCMA, CTSP Electrical hazards to tree workers are, for the most part, within the realm of those who access tree canopies. True, we do have electrocutions and electric-shock injuries among ground workers, but they are the minority. Tree canopies and electric supply lines often are intertwined with, or at least near, climbers and  aerial-device operators.  Remember to get your free subscription to TCI Magazine by clicking here.
