What Bigshea says is dead on,

but if you work for yourself you've gotta figure it out somehow. The learning curve for the first year, I think, is close to a vertical line, especially if you weren't schooled in it and haven't worked on anyone else's crew.

I've a question of my own to add in here....

Like NG said, I price per project, not an hourly thing usually.
If you give a quote for say...10 trees to be done.... and they ask you how it breaks apart on paper, do you all have it quanitified per tree, for all the things being done to it, that you can tell/show the h.o. to justify your price, or is it just a "thats just how much i need to do it all" kind of thing?
