Blog for the Rental Equipment Owners

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 by Sam Simon

The ink was barely dry on my post about Ron Roberts and his Filthy Rich Contractor Blog when I was made aware of another blog that I want to bring to your attention - The RentalMetrics blog.

The RentalMetrics blog is written by Doug Mitchell, founder and Chief Deliverer of Results of RentalMetrics. The blog is full of “red meat” for the heroes that rent iron and move dirt.

There is a lot of good information and resources here for those in the construction equipment rental industry. I encourage our rental audience to check out the blog as I’m sure you’ll find it a valuable read and worth exploring.

Thanks to Kelly for bringing this blog to my attention. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to turn into a blog about other blogs you should read. I only plan on highlighting the better ones and will make sure this blog is also at top of your must-read list.

Welcome to the Construction Blog Community

I want to take this opportunity to welcome Ron Roberts and the Filthy Rich Contractor Blog to the construction blogging community.

Ron, for those who don’t know, is a contributor to the ForConstructionPros.com website and other Cygnus Business Media publications. That’s not the only reason I’m highlighting his blog though. From reading his articles, it easy to see that he is a wealth of information and should have a lot of great things to share on his blog. So I would recommend subscribing to it, just like I know you’ve done with this blog.

Again, welcome. In my opinion, the more discussion that is created about the construction industry, the better.
