Today I witnessed injustice in the United States of America.
On May 28, 2023 our company had our pride and joy stolen, a 2022 Peterbilt with our name on both side of the bed. It was taken off our industrial property in the middle of the night and off to Miami.
We were in the market for a dump truck in order to service our asphalt and equipment transportation needs for quite some time yet the supply chain shortage Covid left behind made it challenging to find such a unit. Along with the dump truck, the thieves stole a brand new track 299 Caterpillar skid steer and a Big Tex trailer we purchased that same year.
I have been in the paving business since I was eleven years old and all I ever wanted for my company was good equipment for my men and women.
Hillsborough County Sherriff’s and the State of Florida attorneys have given their time, effort and resources to bring these criminals to justice, yet our system has failed us yet again.
Today these individuals are free to continue their endeavors on the street as we continue to serve our community.
Grow your company, fight for your existence in business, treat your employees well, cater to your customer, pay the insurance companies for protection, and above all pay your taxes.
It is a harsh world out there. This is the way it is. The system in place does not favor God’s people. A change is needed.
