SHOP UPDATE
While many of you are taking a well-deserved break this winter, our shop mechanics are working diligently to prepare our equipment for the upcoming season.
If you’ve had a chance to visit the Black River Falls yard, you’ve likely noticed a yard full of trucks and equipment. While not every piece is back, we currently have 260 pieces in the yard, all undergoing thorough inspections, servicing, and repairs.
Each unit is brought into the wash bay for a deep cleaning before entering the shop for a full inspection.
Our team is reviewing logged issues in Fleetio to assess the extent of repairs and preventive maintenance needed. The goal is to have all equipment ready for the job sites as soon as the weather allows.
To date, we’ve successfully repaired and serviced 125 trucks and pieces of equipment, with more to go.
Our team is working hard to ensure everything is ready for the busy season ahead!
PROJECT UPDATES
Looking ahead, we’re excited about the projects in the pipeline, with key milestones like Lone Rock Design-Build and Glendale expected by mid-2025. Long-term projects like Brackett and Hudson Bridges are set for 2026. We’re ready to tackle each challenge with the same determination that defines our success, driving growth and making a lasting impact on the communities we serve.
