  • I think its only fair I start!

    I would use the grant to hire my first employee. If I had the freedom of this grant and didn't have to worry about building up my bank account to have an initial salary in the bank, I could hire the employee a lot earlier than I planned to. That extra time would be spent solely in the truck with me training and learning how my company does things differently than our competitors. I am so afraid that my first employee wouldn't offer the same level of service I am promising, but with 3-4 months of real world training before I send them out on their own, I would feel confident I could get them to a place where they can really shine.

  • I would use it for moving my offices. We are growing and seem to have outgrown our current space.

    It would pay off my tractor and buy a replacement truck. My truck has gone about as far as it wants to at 325,000 miles
