One of the most important vehicles in a landscaper’s line-up is a Chipper Truck.  This type of service truck is designed to haul wood chips from the jobsite.  A woodchipper machine is often towed on the truck that directs wood chips right into a semi-enclosed chip box.

More About Chipper Trucks

The Boulder, Colorado-area wildfires spiraled out of control recently, resulting in consumption of over 1,600 acres and nearly 600 homes.  The weather-driven catastrophe is a reminder of the devastation fires can cause.  The emergency sent many into a frezy to try to fight the fires themselves using their own devices.

Looking for a new commercial work truck?  You’re in luck!  Now’s the perfect time to get one…but you’d better hurry.  Various Stimulus Acts are in action that include provisions for Section 179 as well as Bonus Depreciation.  These enhancements typically expired at the end of the year, so you’d better get rolling.

What is Section 179?

Section 179 is part of the IRS Tax Code.  It allows business owners, such as truck drivers, to purchase qualifying equipment (like a commercial work vehicle) during the tax year and deduct the entire price on their tax returns.  You can pay cash, finance, or even lease a commercial truck and deduct the full price tag from your gross income which amounts to raw dollar savings since the amount of income you’re paying taxes on is less.

Many people think of pest control being something that mostly takes place in the spring and summer but not true.  Exterminators are busy year-round with winter being one of their boom seasons. 

If you have a Pest Control business, you are probably no stranger to the fact and if you don’t have one, you might want to grab one while winter is still underway.

Winter is a High Time for Hibernation

Pests like ants and termites love to go inside where it’s warm to conserve their energy during the cold months.  As they are hibernating, they can easily wreak havoc on your home where they burrow in the walls and underneath the floors.  Exterminating in the winter helps prevent infestation.
