  Earlier this month, RMS Rentals Territory Manager Malia Oesterreich and Inside Sales Manager Larissa Indrebo were able to attend the Minnesota Builders Exchange (MBEX) in Hudson, WI. Alongside customer Heather Williams with Northland Mechanical, all brought their shotguns locked and loaded to participate in the annual Sporting Clays North. RMS Rentals sponsored two clay shoot stations and donated toward the prize giveaways.  All funds raised from the event went to the MBEX scholarship program. MBEX scholarships are given to students heading into the construction industry. “I've had the honor of being on the sporting clay/scholarship committee since 2012,” said Malia. “RMS Rentals has a special place within the MBEX organization. I am extremely proud to continue serving as a committee member. And getting to maintain and develop new relationships within the organization. I’m hoping to fill two women teams next year!” Larissa was named the ‘Top Female Shooter’ of the event. She scor

Larissa Indrebo has been promoted to the new role of Assistant Rental Manager. Larissa joined Road Machinery & Supplies Co. in 2006, and most recently has served as the Inside Sales Manager at RMS Rentals.

I can’t wait to start working with the other RMS branches and customers to continue to grow rental profitability across RMS,” said Larissa. Larissa’s new role will allow our rental business the ability to handle more processes like the check-in and check-out of equipment and damage and service claims. “As the rental market continues its aggressive growth trajectory, RMS is continually looking for new ways to s

  Rain isn’t usually something people in the construction industry like to see, but when it coincides with an event like the RMS Rentals Open House, there is a silver lining. That’s exactly what happened this year. On April 20, more than 200 customers, vendors, and employees took advantage of the wash out and attended the Open House at our Savage location. Attendees received a welcome bag with swag items and were able to visit with participating vendors to check out the equipment and meet with representatives. “This was a great event, and I am very thankful for everyone that helped to make it a success. It isn’t too often I say this, but fortunately it rained. I think that made it a lot easier for people to get here,” said General Manager TJ Burns. “We really value the relationships we have with customers, and events like this are a great way to thank them for their relationship with RMS Rentals, but also to help them meet our vendors and get more of the informatio
