$80 million profit from tree trimming?! Man I went into the wrong line of work.
They have contracts with electric utilities to trim trees all over the northeast. Last year they trimmed all the trees on every road in the town I live in NH. Think of how many hundreds of miles roads there are in just one town in a state like NH that is 80% forested.
It is similar to a guy I knew in western NY whose company had contacts to paint lines on the road. He owned a water front estate on Lake Erie.
