PMC Customer Solutions

By News

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, rest stops and shower stations were  eliminated  at this year’s Pan Mass Challenge. David White was stumped and wanted to figure out a way to get his exhausted (and sweaty) team a shower before the long ride home. He approached the Rental Department with the challenge and they calmly and confidently replied. “We’ve got this!” After riding 112 miles in the 90-degree heat, David and the team greatly appreciated their problem solving in providing a portable shower system. “That’s what we do right?

An Earlier Perception of Construction Work – A Legacy Perspective that has Changed

By News

When I was growing up, the general perception of those working in construction was largely of unskilled, unefined, or uneducated individuals who ended up in the industry due to a lack of other alternatives.
