    Hey guys! The project is still going strong. I left the company I was working for in April to focus on this. The senior estimator and project manager from the same company has also joined, bringing experience from the engineering and estimating side of the business. I've attached a bunch of...

    To expand or not

    Try to make sure you're putting enough away to replace your equipment with cash at end of life. Always make sure you have a good exit strategy which shouldn't be tough as long as you don't borrow a lot of money.

    Free equipment tracking app

    Everything that is free now will remain free. Free users don't cost me anything. My thought is that if people like it, they'll probably end up telling someone else about it. I hate free trials.

    Free equipment tracking app

    I know anything "free" sounds fishy, especially in this industry but I want people to be able to use it in order to see its value.
