Assess Client Needs and Budget

Jim. Hey, Sam. Hey. How you doing? Jim called me in because he's got a forklift that he can't use anymore. And in Jim's world, that's saying a lot cuz this thing looked like it should have been retired back in the 1980s. Jim is really driven by what he's always done his entire life. How long have you been in business? Oh, over 50 years. Really? Yeah. I started when I was 20. Okay. Yeah. You mean just looking around it and it looks like this place is awesome, man. Look at Well, it's old like me. What is this? The Whiz Register, right? So, you telling me this is like a cash register? No, it's just a receipt machine. It's got to be way over 100. We still use it though. I love it. So, what's going on? Well, the main loader we use every every day has electrolysis in one of the cylinder liners. So, we're pouring water in the oil.

What are we looking at [music] for conditions that we have out here right now? It's taken him 30 minutes to pick up a car, bring it [music] over, drain it, prep it, get it ready, put it in the crusher, flatten [music] it out, stockpile it, and get it ready to go on a flatbed truck. So, he's been doing that with a forklift that's broken down. He's got to crush 18 cars every single day just to make ends meet. We need to have something that can go through the mud pretty well.
