The roads were fine, didnt slow me down one bit just was fog for me

For whatever reason the crews working on the LDM place like to rent from Logan Stevens but Logan Stevens equipment is too small and old. Sooo Logan stevens rents a boom from us for 9000 a month then they turn around and rent it to the crews using it for 11000 a month. The 2000 Logan Stevens makes is pure profit with no risk and United Rentals is still happy because we are renting out our equipment still for top dollar in what is supposed to be our slow months.

More fun tonight, I just got home 15 minutes ago, 1200kms in one day. And it was the greatest driving conditions Stoughton got hammered with blowing snow I had to make a couple U ***** on gravel roads.

LSC isnt the only company that Re-rents equipment. A guy can really make money with no work cause you can rent a boom for 3000 a month (example) but yet you can rent it out at 1750 a week.
