    Thats the one problem I had either I had to much equipment or not enough and even with the $2000 rentals I was doing it never was enough to cover the bills. I still owe them a phone bill from when I quit and closed the shop. I wish we had a penske dealer near by but there 100 miles one way alone so that was out of the question.



    For the picture that was back in August 2013 when I shipped out a split load half from Topsfield and half from Waite. The truck was 3/4 full when it left for Bangor. That was before she started working for me.
