The American Rental Association (ARA) has updated its popular Professional Driver Education Program (PDEP) online certificate program designed for equipment rental drivers.

To help readers navigate through the variety of options when it comes to equipment and event rental-specific software, Rental Management this month launches the Rental Software Series, which will provide profiles of software suppliers on a regular basis. This month, we profile two of the leading rental-specific software suppliers, Alert Rental Software, Colorado Springs, Colo., and Point of Rental Software, Fort Worth, Texas.

 

Even if you have used rental-specific software to run your equipment or event rental business for decades, chances are there are features you have available that either you are not aware of or might not understand what the feature can do for you.

For the 10th consecutive year in the September issue, Rental Management presents our “12 to watch under 40” featuring a group of young professionals under the age of 40 who have become active participants in managing and running rental businesses as well as participating in industry activities at the local, state and national levels.
