Mark- You don't work nearly as much as you appear. I got my machine the same time as you and I have twice the hours. My old machine, I bought with 1200 hours in '07 was retired last Sept. with over 11k hours.

Most of your jobs are also split up between two machines on the same job aren't they?

Yep...

Found out how many more square feet we are able to perform and how more efficient per truckmount hours we have become...

And less miles per year since 2011..

Been interesting what we have been able to pull off
