Frank Zwolinski, president of Wirtz, Va.-based Oakenshield Development Co., a full-service building and contracting firm, is the winner of RSC Equipment Rental’s “Tell Us How You Feel — To Get Behind The Wheel” contest for a new Ford pickup truck.

RSC, in partnership with Ford Motor Co., gave away the new Ford pickup as part of a campaign to learn equipment rental success stories from its customers. More than 7,000 qualified entries were received from almost all 50 states and Canada.

Entrants were encouraged to submit a rental story about their experiences with RSC, and although this was not required to win, more than 3,000 entries included rental experience stories.

“This promotion was a tremendous success,” said Ellen Steck, vice president of marketing for RSC Equipment Rental. “The stories we received reinforce why RSC is the industry leader when it comes to around-the-clock customer service and exceptionally well-maintained equipment. It is gratifying to see how important the rental relationship is to our customers and even more exciting to be able to thank one of our customers with a brand new truck!”

Through the promotion, Zwolinski, who has been an RSC customer since 2001, won a 2007 model year Ford F-150, XLT, SuperCab 4x2 truck. To take full advantage of his prize, he chose to upgrade his vehicle to a Ford F-350, at his own expense, through his local dealer.

Zwolinski was selected at random from the entries received from Sept. 15 through Nov. 15, 2006. Contestants did not need to be RSC customers and no purchase or rental was required. Only one entry per person was permitted.

Scottsdale, Ariz.-based RSC Equipment Rental is No. 2 on the RER 100.
