Hack #4: Hire a Towing Service

actually told me that he hires a tow truck driver. He's developed a relationship with a tow truck driver that has a flatbed trailer or a flatbed on his tow truck, of course, that he can come out and pick the equipment up, put it on the back of his truck and move it from one site to the other site. You guys, I can't tell you how many trailers like this I have. Well, actually, I can. I have got a lot of them. Um, and this makes so much financial sense. I paid $3,400 for this trailer. I got to insure it, put tires on it. I've got to maintain this thing. What Phil does is he pays a tow truck driver anywhere from $70 to $80 a lift. He doesn't have to insure a trailer. He doesn't have to insure a dedicated unit to tow equipment around. And he calculates the expense of having that tow truck into every single job. So he figures about $160 to move a piece of equipment onto and off from a job site. He says it saved him so much money every single season that I tell you right now it almost makes me not want to do it myself. So just because you don't have a trailer, maybe you don't have the right truck, doesn't mean you can't get your heavy equipment around. He runs skid steers. He also runs excavators and he has all of his equipment moved by a tow truck driver with a flatbed trailer that he knows that is ready to go. Calls him up and the guy delivers everything. He even brings it back to his shop and has access to his own yard, has access to Phil's yard. So when it when the equipment has to go back to the yard, the guy brings it out to the yard, drops it off, leaves the keys there for him, and takes off. It's freaking brilliant and it's an awesome way. It's an awesome workaround if you don't have the right
