The Greater Cincinnati Tool Rental Association is organizing a bus to take rental people to The Rental Show in Atlanta, Feb. 8-10. The bus, sponsored by a group of a dozen show exhibitors, will leave Cincinnati on the evening of Feb. 8, drive all night and arrive in Atlanta in the morning, giving participants two full days on the show floor.

The GCTRA filled a bus for a similar trip three years ago, but so far are less successful in finding participants this year, said Jim Bruner, owner of All American Rental Center in Cincinnati. “We might open it up to people in Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, Lexington, Indianapolis and other surrounding cities to fill up the bus,” Bruner told RER. “This year a lot of people are reluctant to be away for two days.”

Bus sponsors are Stone Construction Equipment, Vermeer of Southern Ohio, Bobcat Enterprises, Bosch Power Tools, Astec Underground, Ditch Witch of Ohio, Hilti Inc., A&H Hose, Hayward Distributing, GrimmerSchmidt Compressors, ARA Insurance Services, MMD Equipment and Bud Ditsler Advertising.
