Rental Roundtable #118: Where AI Is Actually Moving the Needle in Rental Operations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dan Crowley runs peer groups for hundreds of independent rental owners, so he hears what operators are actually doing before it shows up in anyone's data. Back for a record fifth appearance, the owner of Peer Executive Groups breaks down where AI is already changing rental operations: the counter process going from seven clicks to zero, the jobs it fills instead of replaces, and how the best operators now use data to see what's coming, not just what already happened.
Rental Roundtable #117: How to Bootstrap a Rental Company From a Single Skid Steer (opens the original)

Most people who want to start a rental company stall on the capital and the risk. James Polkinghorne started James Equipment in Tennessee with one skid steer and a "rent me" sign, then grew it past 70 machines. He breaks down how he bootstrapped the fleet with no money down, found the contractor market the nationals overlooked, and survived the thankless early years.

Alex Koufos spent 18 years climbing the ranks at national rental companies before betting on himself and launching K5 Rental in Arizona.
