Retail is vanity. Commercial is sanity.

I learned this the hard way back in 2008. When the walk-in customers stopped coming, we saved our business by aggressively pursuing fleets.

Don’t start 2026 sitting on your hands. Pick 5 local businesses. Walk in their door. Offer to protect their trucks. That’s how you control your own paycheck.
