But chances are, you'll never have to make that person-to-Person call.

Because at Rounds we've vowed to be the ones who find what others can't. And do what others won't.

Redwood grapestakes? Sure. How many?

Timbers up to 3?-feet long? You bet. Where do you want them?

Unusual orders. Mixed shipments. Delivery on the double. They're all part of our daily bread.

All of which explains our coast-to-coast reputation as something of a godsend.

But what you'll like best of all is how our uncommon approach to unusual orders carries right over to the everyday stuff.

Like green redwood in all grades. Dry redwood uppers. And redwood fencing. With all standard redwood patterns available.

Or our line of finish fir, including flooring. Pine deck- ing. And our comprehensive remanufacturing capabilitie s. They're all delivered with the same Rounds hustle that built our reputation. Rounds. Underthebest circumstances we're a good place to start. And when you don't think you stand a prayer of finding something, we're the next best thing to Divine Intervention.

Let us know how we can help.

Compare Repair Costs

A small company-owned fleet of trucks can usually be maintained at a lower cost with a guaranteed maintenance plan from the truck manufacturer than by a company mechanic.

One mechanic can usually handle l0 to 15 trucks. For a smaller fleet, do a cost comparison including wages, cost of tools, and maintenance of repair area.
