When I was a new mother, I remember calling my mom in tears. “I’ve fed him, changed him, rocked him, sung to him…and he just won’t go to sleep,” I said. “What do I do now? I can’t take his crying anymore.” I couldn’t take my crying anymore either.

No Truckmount – No Problem
Back in the early ‘70s, I was one of those buying the first truckmount production models. I was thrilled with the power and efficiency I achieved on carpet-cleaning jobs. My company grew at least in part due to the ability to process more work while performing excellent cleaning with my truckmount.
