Bobby Simpson & Sons has over a dozen machines from two water trucks, a 35-ton rock truck and large excavators, to skid steers, backhoes, wheel loaders and two brand new Volvo EC20C compact excavators. “We purchased our first Volvo machines a few months back from Volvo Construction Equipment & Services. We shopped around with the other major brands, but in the end, we decided to go with Volvo,” says Bobby Simpson. “The Volvo’s represent a great value and they are built to last. Also the price was right and they had all of the attachments we needed in stock. Our representative, Scott Nadell, was fair and honest and he was there for us at every point of the

sale. I would do business with Scott and Volvo again.” Bobby Simpson & Sons uses their new Volvo compact excavators for a variety of tasks from opening trenches to performing digging and backfill work in confined spaces. “Our big stuff is great for moving a lot of earth fast, but sometimes you need a finesse machine in areas that the big iron just can’t go,” says Bobby Simpson. “We are also using the Volvo compact excavators out at the San Diego Airport job to cut trench. We even custom built a special high capacity 6-inch bucket and a 6-inch compaction wheel for our customer to do the trench work quicker and more efficiently.” Bobby Simpson & Sons has quite a bit of prevailing wage

Bobby’s father, Robert Sr. retired two years ago, but he still pokes his head in now and again. Along with all five Simpson family members remaining, the company also has two other fine operators and another hard working laborer on their payroll. It is a true family business, but it appears that future growth will take the Simpson’s to new heights with new team members that they hope will feel like part of the family.
