R&S Equipment Diversifies Business, Brings U-Haul to Crofton
CROFTON, KY. (May 1, 2015) – Once a modest father-son operation selling heavy equipment to the local farmers in Christian County, R&S Equipment now boasts five partners, a full-service auto shop and a new fleet of U-Haul® trucks and trailers.
R&S Equipment is pleased to be one of the newest members of the U-Haul dealer network. It offers towing equipment, support rental items and much more at its 580 E. Princeton St. location.
Reserve U-Haul items here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Crofton-KY or calling (270) 424-9041 today. Stop by in person from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday- Friday and 8 a.m.-noon Saturday. After-hours drop-off is available for U-Haul customers.
Randy and Scotty Owens started R&S Equipment with the intention of selling and servicing everything from bulldozers to excavators. With the inclusion of an auto shop and the U-Haul dealership, the Owens garnered help from partners Karen Farmer, Andy Barton and Josh Taylor.
Before R&S Equipment partnered with U-Haul, Crofton residents had to drive to Hopkinsville for products from the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage.
“It’s Andy’s fault we have U-Haul,” Taylor said laughing. “He saw that it would be a nice little niche and I’m glad we did it. We have a U-Haul customer almost every day.”
R&S Equipment customers appreciate having moving products on hand. In fact, many customers buy generators and other heavy equipment and rent a U-Haul trailer to transport it home.
No matter what your needs, someone is prepared to help at R&S Equipment. Barton specializes in collisions and refurbishing while Taylor focuses on customer service and offering great deals.
U-Haul and R&S Equipment are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.
R&S Equipment is also a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit photos and learn more.
