From Oriole Landscaping’s 38-Year Journey to Fleet Management Mastery

Greetings, Landscaping Visionaries!

I’m thrilled to share insights from a 38-year veteran in the landscaping business.

These insights could transform how you manage your fleet and ultimately, your company’s bottom line.

We’ve learned the hard way that buying used equipment to save costs leads to breakdowns and ends in financial loss.

Instead, plan your fleet purchases two years in advance for optimal results.

It’s not just about buying equipment; it’s about smart utilization of time and talent.

Scenario A (reactive buying) versus Scenario B (strategic planning) shows a clear path to success.

Before making any purchase, ask, “Can I afford the cash flow?”

If yes, consider how the equipment will perform in the long run, not just its price tag.

Don’t just buy well; sell well.

Know when to sell your equipment to avoid depreciation and even use this strategy to defer taxes effectively.

One of our clients, let’s call him Phil, has all new equipment with zero repairs, leading to a surplus of cash.

We advised him on how to leverage this by refreshing his fleet, reducing taxes, and increasing profitability.

Avoid the cheapest option.

Look for quality and reliability.

This might mean buying new or investing in slightly used but well-maintained equipment.

Ensure your equipment is used to its full potential.

If not, consider renting out or outsourcing until you can maximize its use.

Schedule fleet management into your calendar.

Only 1% plan well, but those who do see massive returns.

Invest in your drivers or crew’s training.

The right team can make or break your investment in new assets.

An abundance mindset in equipment purchasing means you’re not just buying for today but planning for future growth and efficiency.
