Business Plan
We would purchase more equipment and trucks to move more timber to mills in our state. Hire an additional 6 more employees. Production is key to growing in the next five years. To be able to do that we would need to pay our bills down we currently have and invest in newer equipment to produce loads faster. We started young my wife and I. Everyone said we couldn’t make it. And we failed miserably but we didn’t give up. We work extremely hard every day and have held records for loads processes and delivered. We can outgrow our expenses but with COVID 19 hitting us this past year. We decided to reach out for a grant and not a loan. Our revenue is very high and with the correct equipment and funding we can grow tremendously in the years to come.

Self Identified Competition
Weather, COVID 19 and loss of production. Due to older equipment Honestly in logging you have no competition except for the unknown. Timber company’s need loggers and as log as we can work we make money. Logging is all about grit and hard work. We work hard to do what we need to do. We worry about ourselves and our employees bringing home a paycheck. I am a 5 generation logger with more experience then most loggers in this state. I was raised knowing how to turn a profit and taught a work habit like no other.
