I worked in the equipment rental business most of my career. I started as a mechanic and worked up to branch manager. My store was the first store in the country to see the recession. It killed my little store so I left 2 years ago and they filled bankruptcy shortly after. I am currently a sales rep for a crane co. We rent cranes from 8 ton to 800 ton. There are only a few 800 ton (truck mounted) cranes in the US.

Setting a pool two weeks ago in the miserable cold.
