Now’s the Time to Show Your Construction Vehicles and Heavy Equipment Some Love!
Count on DCI Fleet for Sandblasting, Rust Abatement, and Paint.
The last couple of years have been pretty rough for those earning a living in the building and construction industries. Covid-19, material and labor shortages, and skyrocketing costs, have all caused scheduling headaches and worse. Just when it feels like some relief may be on the horizon, a two-issue bust-to-boom tsunami is brewing that will make your existing fleet vehicles and equipment more important than ever.
Issue one: the challenges that are contributing to the bust part of the cycle we’re in right now. The Covid-19 hangover is everywhere. Unprecedented supply chain issues are creating havoc: think container ship traffic jam off California and raw materials and supply shortages. Then there are the worker and driver shortages themselves. All these factors, and more have caused backlogs for many firms. It’s what the experts call “pent-up demand.” When you add programs like the $905 million dollar Infrastructure for Rebuilding America Program and other proposed stimulus packages to the mix it’s easy to see that once the problems causing the delays are resolved it’s going to get really busy, fast.
Issue two: being ready for when bust turns to boom. As the construction and building industries confront their own issues there’s another crisis playing out in transportation. Post Covid-19 demand; a shortage of microchips (this video blog sums it up nicely); parts shortages, and China’s own huge construction stimulus effort are cranking up global demand for vehicles and equipment. This has created an extreme shortage of trucks, trailers, and to some extent heavy equipment, resulting in depleted new vehicle inventories and excessive wait times. On top of that, used vehicles are almost impossible to find and often cost more than their original sticker price.
