Is it a lot of stuff? not really. I've always been prepared for most everything that could come up, I believe in back up equipment not down time because down time can cause loss of money and clients so having two of everything on your trailer can keep you and your clients in business.

No Crew members. No Multiple Teams. I guess I'm what you call a family Business, it's just the wife, son and me. I have 70 clients that we do weekly and do not want anymore right now although I don't turn anyone down if there on the route I'm running at the time I'll just work them in.
Remember When you start talking Crews you're talking additional equipment cost, additional Insurance and workman's compensation cost then payroll. It's all called overhead and it's something you want to stay away from if at all possible. I've seen overhead kill more than one business.
