I am a small business owner with a staff of 25 employees. We do both residential and commercial landscaping. We sell and haul a lot of gravel, rocks, sand, fill, and topsoil. As you can imagine, the consistency and appearance of these products is important, so we use rock screens and screening machines. Although much of our work always involves manual labor, we do use machines for our bigger projects. We own some of the equipment, but we occasionally have to rent. It doesn’t make much sense to spend a lot of money buying expensive pieces of machinery we use only once in a while.

I often read industrial reviews to learn more about the equipment, whether it’s maintenance, renting, purchasing, or new models. I’m interested in machinery and technology that will help me grow my business. The reviews aren’t just about that, though. They cover a wide range of business topics and all kinds of tips for different business and business owners. It can be useful to know what they’re thinking; I’m always learning something new. I’m a big believer in meeting and talking to others in the same business, related businesses, and sometimes even unrelated businesses because that’s what networking is all about.
