ARA Equipment Rental Industry Market Sizing Workshop
Rebel Rents was invited by the American Rental Association to participate in the Equipment Rental Industry Market Sizing Workshop in conjunction with Global Insight. Global Insight is an advisory service that does analysis and forecasting along with financial and economic data for various industries. The purpose of the workshop was to define the equipment rental markets sizing, segmentation and forecasts. Rebel Rents is pleased to participate and contribute to the success of the rental industry.
Coastal Concrete and Innovations
We are proud to introduce the newest recipient of our Customer Partnership Recognition Award. Coastal Concrete and Innovations, nominated by Mike Brown, Store Manager of our El Cajon location, has been a loyal Rebel Rents customer for many years. In fact, since January of 2005 they're relationship with Rebel Rents has expanded and is better than ever. We thank them for their partnership and loyalty to Rebel Rents and wish them continued success in the future.
Congratulations Santa Ana
We would like to congratulate the Santa Ana Rental Team on their August revenue numbers. They had the largest increase of all our locations this August over last August's numbers. For this extraordinary accomplishment they were presented with a plaque today and inducted into the Rebel Rental Team Hall of Fame. Chris Dalsimer and his rental team should certainly be proud of this great achievement, as we all should be. Keep up the great work!
Multiquip Tech Training Class
Orv Schindler, the Southwest Field Service Manager with Multiquip, conducted a service training school at Rebel's Training Facility in Temecula. The training focused on Multiquip's Nighthawk LT-12 Light Towers. The training included light tower setup, troubleshooting and preventative maintenance. The class was attended by the service techs from all our locations. This type of training is valuable in keeping our equipment in top condition and rental ready. Our customers depend on Rebel Rents to deliver them the best equipment each and every time!
Equipment Recovery and Theft Ring Busted
Recently one of our customers contacted our Mira Loma location regarding a John Deere Skip Loader that had gone missing from their jobsite. These units are equipped with an Ayantra GPS tracking system. After pinging the unit, we were able to determine the last location of the unit. With great detective work and team effort on the part of the Branch Manager Scott Miller, Territory Manager Dan James and Dana Mitry from the office, we were able to track down and recover our unit. The police were notified and arrested a local theft ring that preyed on construction sites in the Hesperia area. Not only did we recover our equipment, other stolen equipment was recovered as well. This is a reminder that we must remain vigilant to prevent these types of thefts in the future.

Casper Customer Appreciation Day
Rebel held a Customer Appreciation Day at the office of Casper Company on Thursday. We provided a barbecue lunch with all the fixin's for the employees. The El Cajon and Santee staff, along with the Territory Managers from the area, did all the cooking. It was a great day and enjoyed by everybody. Along with lunch, each Casper employee received a Rebel t-shirt and a safety kit. We also gave Casper a Customer Partnership Recognition Award to thank them for their continued service.

Rebel Picnic a Huge Success!
If you were lucky enough to attend then you know what a huge success Rebel Rents' Company Picnic was! Over 200 employees and their families were on hand to watch the Lake Elsinore Storm win their opening playoff game. Before the game everyone met for a BBQ dinner. Rebel shirts with Digger holding a baseball bat were given out to the adults. We raffled off a number of great prizes including t-shirts, hats, gift certificates and portable DVD players. The grand prize winner of the trip to San Francisco to watch the 49ers play the Cowboys was won by Winston Ferguson of Mira Loma! Congratulations Winston! We want to take the time to thank those who made this day possible. Thank you to Jill Widtfeldt who organized the entire event and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thank you also to Sue Hope, Denise Vaughn, Sharon Desuacido, Doug Fleury, Brett Guigneaux, John Benson, Linda Benson, Susie Slavey and all the employees who attended. It will be hard to top next year but we'll give it our best shot!

New Fleet Announcement
Rebel Rents is proud to announce that we've brought Manitou of North America on as a new vendor partner. We have just added their line of construction telescopic handlers to our fleet. The MT 523 is a compact reach forklift designed for big performance in a small package. Its small size combined with a 5,000 pound capacity and a 16'2" lift height makes it possible to use a telescopic handler in areas not accessible by larger machines. The MT 523 features a spacious operator's compartment, 54 HP diesel engine and hydrostatic transmission to ensure customer comfort and ease of operation. These additions to our fleet are in direct response to our customers requests.

San Jacinto Has Their Best Month Ever!!!

The office will be stopping by today to buy lunch and pass out Rebel t-shirts to everybody.

Next time you talk to anyone from San Jacinto be sure to congratulate them on a job well done!
Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort
The Gulf Coast of the United States has been devastated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The current death toll stands at 230. However, experts expect the final death toll in Louisiana alone to top 10,000. Eighty percent of New Orleans is underwater and hundreds of thousands have been left homeless. At Rebel Rents, we want to do our part to help those suffering the effects of the storm. We will be collecting donations from employees to give to the Red Cross to support the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The company will be matching a percentage of the employee donations collected. By making a financial gift to support Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts, the Red Cross can provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those affected. Every dollar counts and no amount is too small. Employees who would like to contribute should give their donation to their Store Manager. Store Managers, please forward all donations to the Corporate Office by September 15. Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross. Thank you in advance for your contributions to this cause.
Company Picnic Grand Prize Announcement
We are extremely pleased to announce our Grand Prize for our upcoming company picnic! It is 2 tickets to watch the San Francisco 49er's take on the Dallas Cowboys on September 25! In addition to tickets to the game, the winner will also receive roundtrip airfare for 2 on Southwest Airlines, hotel accomodations and sedan transportation to and from the game. It is a fabulous prize and we want to say a special thank you to Michael Anderson, President of Ditch Witch of California, for their generous donation. It is certainly more than we expected and we are grateful to have the opportunity to give it away to one lucky employee. Remember, the picnic is September 10. Please see Jill if you have any questions.
August Numbers Are In!
The revenue numbers are in and it's official - August was our best month ever! We set a high goal for ourselves and we are pleased to report that we were able to not only meet but exceed our goal. Congratulations are in order for every Rebel employee. This was truly a team effort that could not have been accomplished without the hard work and dedication of every single employee. Thank you and let's look to September to break our new record!
