While the driver will do his best to make sure that every piece of equipment that came out with him returns with him, he is not infallible, nor can he be expected to keep track of all the equipment and fulfill all of his other duties. It is the responsibility of your crew to make sure that each piece of equipment is returned complete at the end of the day. We inventory, and double check, each piece of equipment before it leaves our shop, and do the same upon its return. This system allows us to keep accurate records, and save you money by removing any doubt about whether or not a piece of gear is actually missing or damaged. This is one of the advantages that we have - we supply a large inventory on the truck, and only bill for supplies as they are used.
Lumber is billed if cut, damaged, or unreturned, as are foamcore and showcard.
All other production supplies are checked in and out like every other piece of equipment.
