What Trucks & Trailers ?
Need some help choosing these, i was going to go with the F450 dually diesel and get a gooseneck i heard its easier to drive with the gooseneck. What are you guys currently driving + trailer? I am getting a kubuto 97-3 so it will be heavy, im trying to avoid the cdl route. Does that mean i have to regrade the trailer? I think ill be at about 15k lbs with the mulcher head and tractor.

Greetings all, My name is Matt McGowan and I'm located in Parker, CO, a suburb of Denver. Presently I'm working as a project manger for a commercial general contractor. In the past I have also worked as a superintendent in this same sector. I'm looking for new entrepreneurial opportunities and I'm strongly considering the forestry mulching / fire mitigation business. However, before I spend a lot on equipment, I need to see that there is profitable market in my area. I look forward to reading your posts and making positive contributions where I can.

@Rebeca Marin Hi Rebecca, nice to meet you. If you want the fast track, to more work than you know what to do with, get certified as a woman owned business and disadvantaged business enterprise if you qualify. This will get your firm extra points when your quotes are scored by public agencies or you work as a subcontractor, to a general contractor, on a publicly funded project. Good luck.
Competition survey.
On one of the other Ownr Ops pages I was reading they recommend seeing how many other companies offer forestry mulching / fire mitigation, as a service, with 50 miles of your location. How many of you did this and what did you find? I'm trying to figure out if my area is oversaturated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response Christopher. Much appreciated. I'm not sure I agree with you. The guys who don't know their costs will always be there, although they may be different, and undercutting legitimate pricing. With residential customers only needing our service, maybe once every three years, we are still very much a price based commodity. If my market is full of these people I don't want to spend $150K to $200K on equipment. How many competitors do you have in a 50 mile radius?

@Joshua Huffman Thanks for the reply Josh. What part of the country are you located in?

In the initial 10 group!
My 1st 3 full weeks of business running Facebook ads
I'm writing to you guys about this win, because I think some of you need to hear it. You need to hear that this business is real and you can do it if you follow the plan that @Austin Gray laid out so perfectly for us. Follow it and do exactly what he says. You just need to act. Cowboy up, and start buckin. Disclaimer: I have a full-time management job in aviation, so any of this new business idea stuff has to be weekends and afternoons. So keep that in mind while you read this. 5 weeks ago, I had nothing but a plan. No machine, no mulcher, no money. Nothing. I knew i had a small bonus from work coming, so I'd use that as ad money and operating capital. But I started with nothing. But I knew I could do this. I came across OwnrOps on YouTube and started soaking everything up. And I mean I watched it all. Luckily I didn't join any fb groups first, because I probably wouldn't have taken the leap. Most of that crowd is made up of losers and dream busters anyway. I watched all of Austin's starter info and got more excited and pumped the deeper I dove. I finally messaged Austin and asked him if he thought running ads without a machine and booking jobs was a good idea to test my market and my resolve. Well... the first 3 days of running ads, I booked 3 jobs from 4 leads. I was HOOKED. It was thrilling. Here I am... no machine and I'm scheduling jobs. Crazy, right!?! 😆 I needed to see if I could prove my business case to myself, and if it was worth me going and buying a machine. I thought, well... if I can book 3 jobs in 3 days from 4 leads, I'm good to go! So I did. I got financed (easier than financing a 30k car, which was scary) and bought a machine that costs more than my first house. Nuts, right?! It was going great for the first 5 days, then boom! I got stalled by fb- I started running ads 5 weeks ago, but Facebook shut me down for 2 weeks due to card verification problems. So truly my ads have only been spending for 3 solid weeks. Since they started spending, almost everyday I've been quoting jobs after my 9-5. Sometimes 3 and 4 in an afternoon.

Great news Josh! Did you have website set up when you ran these ads? What did you do for a contract? Congratulations.
