Congratulations to RJS Construction Group in Superior, Wisconsin. They are among the first in the country to acquire Deere’s 764 HSD high-speed dozer. Excellent performance also reduced maintenance costs because of the hybrid constant low rpm settings and a 25% reduction in fuel consumption. We congratulate Pete Weidman, RJS Construction President, on being ahead of the curve and his competition.

The process of acquiring and choosing to lease this amazing piece of equipment means that they have not only decreased the overall age of their fleet but also improved the reliability factor inherent in any heavy-use equipment. Heavy equipment, or “yellow metal,” as it is commonly referred to, will be in heavy demand very soon as the government rolls out its trillion-dollar infrastructure plan to improve roads, bridges, and major highways nationwide.

New equipment means cost savings in maintenance, operational efficiency, lower fuel costs, and peace of mind for any job foreman counting on this equipment to stay on the job that is under pressure to be completed and crews are working around the clock. Here are some tips to manage finances to improve your business workflow and growth. We invite any commercial contractor to look at this same type of upgrade and the long list of benefits associated with a fleet upgrade.
