Not 85-90 of OUR accounts with two guys. Don't forget, accounts are all over the place as far as size, distance, etc. One account takes 2 guys 8 hrs. Not all are created equal - apples and oranges.

I have days where I can take care of 70 properties in one day, and the next 3-4 of us might mow 2-3. A lot of variables when it comes to accounts/properties.......

Hence why my signature states (when I post from a computernot my phone) "A company's success is not measured by the amount of accounts they have". The number isn't accurate one bit. The only way to measure is the number of acres and the amt grossed per week/month/yr.
