    Hiring the right guy may cost you, but hiring the wrong person will break you. Best of luck sir.

    If you like the driver, teach him more. Don't throw them away. If you don't like the driver, and he's unteachable, let him go.

    Good to see a younger generation willing to work and have someone to pass knowledge down to, very rare these days, you'll do fine, just go slow and steady, it's always better than tearing up your equipment trying to go hard and fast to make a few extra dollars.
  • Good to see a young man starting his own business and buying up machines to better his company. Good luck young man and be safe logging is one of the most Dangerous jobs to do
  • You have a good thing going here Lad wishing you tons of luck. When it comes to logging Bobby Godson is the real deal hands down. To have his brain to pick is a sure fire win for you.

    We all have days where things don't go right Justin. Don't let it get you down.

    Good to see Bobby. Hang in there you will have your good and bad days. I know been there done that.

    Great to see this video. Wish my father was alive to see this as he would have loved it. He was an owner/operator in the late 70's then worked for Great Northern Paper in their woodlands division as an equipment operator. He finished his career teaching high schoolers how to drive class A vehicles. Like most, owner/operators he had those days. Everyone does. Wishing you good fortune on your endeavor. Keep up the great work.

    I drove truck for 19 years , the last job I had was hauling logs. I"ve seen it all. I would let that guy go. Dont cuss him out, just telling he needs to go haul boxes till he gets better at trucking. Keep at it man. Your young and strong you will make good in life if you hire the right hands and treat them better than family. They will make or break you. Good luck.
  • I've worked hard like these fellas but I've damn near gotten rid of all of my old equipment..from skid steers to container movers ...old military trucks and all

    Good to see bobby again and find out what he's been doing looks like he's still selling his equipment off slowly but surely
  • @johnm1898
    I will miss the Goodson channel. This one appears to be the same quality. I'm looking forward to more videos. šŸ‘

    Good to see Bobby on video again, Justin no matter how many break downs and screw ups you have on the job it won't be anything Bobby hasn't seen or been through, that man knows he done worked in his life. If possible hiring a man like Bobby can make the difference in you succeeding or not, I've been farming for myself for 32 years now the advantages of having a person like Bobby on the job is not only can he keep the job moving he can see how what you doing today will impact the job a couple weeks or more down the road!! Also I love that you kept Bobby's theme song!! Joe South The Games people play In life you will understand and appreciate that song more and more!! Good luck bud hope it all works out!!

    I bet that old pepsi trailer has $10k worth parts in it, that was a good deal
