Which is more professional working alone or with a helper??

also, i understand "variables" ...but "in general" how/why is a one man crew better than a 2 man crew?
(assuming a good lead man and competent side kick)
Kevin McCreary said:The topic was "which is more professional" so the answer I get from reading this thread is that they both are.
There are lots of different models to follow, my biggest concern with one truck and one person like Jim Martin
is what happens when Jim gets injured and is out for two weeks. I just had my knee scoped. We lost very little
production with out me in the field. In the past that would of cost me a lot more than I pay two techs to do
the work. Also if you do this every day by yourself you tend to wreck your body after 20-25 years. So I guess
if you miss 4-6 weeks of work due to injury that seems pretty unprofessional to me. It would be almost tragic
if an owner operator with some financial obligations broke his ankle even if you had disability insurance.
