Clark’s two sons, Will and Garrett will continue as Great Plains Rent-All general manager and key account manager respectively. "They’re more than a first-rate equipment operation," added Mike Crouch, vice president of business development for Volvo Rents, speaking of Great Plains Rent-All. "They’re good people who support a number of school, church, civic and charitable organizations with their time and finances." Fred Hageman of Rental Acquisitions LLC, Cameron Park, Calif., represented Great Plains Rent-All in the transaction.

Max Equipment Rentals is a former RER 100 listee that had had some difficulties in recent years during a recession that hit California particularly hard. However, the state is on the upswing and IHS Global Insight projects that California will lead the nationwide recovery through 2016, spending $723 billion on construction with the third-highest annual average percentage gain of 15.6 percent. The company was founded by Bob McDaris and Mason Bailey in 2000. McDaris will continue as Volvo Rents’ southwest division sales manager. Bailey will remain as a consultant for a short period of time.

"California’s economy is growing again, and will see strong economic growth over the near- and long-term, translating into great construction activity," said Crouch.
