    When you carry a love for Tonka toys into your adult working life. I do love to see a company take a little pride in the appearance of their fleet. I'm also a big fan of a business owner who thinks "Or clients need this service, I can build that into what we can offer.
    Coordinating a project becomes so much easier when you can find a good, reliable company they can cater for all of your site needs. Beats burning through time and money trying to get multiple companies working nicely together, and communicating with each other to synchronise jobs.
